See You in My 19th Life (2023)

I unabashedly love this show. The actors, the characters, the way it was shot, the convoluted dramatic plot that seems to bend back on itself, it all works for me. But you have to keep in mind that this is not a romcom: it's a weepy dramedy with big romantic feels.

What worked

This cast is so great. Beautiful people acting out big feelings while telling a good story. The cinematography was excellent, restrained when it needed to be and leaning hard into the fantasy to tell the story in other places. The plot didn't always make logic sense, but the writing was very good at getting across the feelings it wants you to feel.

What Didn't Work

Some of the musical cues bothered me, especially when it tried to play up this big mystery about Kang Min-gi. (Was he a bad guy? Yes. Did he deserve his own sinister background music when he came on screen? No.) Also, there were a few logic breaks that I feel like would have been ironed out if they'd had 16 episodes instead of 12. Finally, I'm not an expert, but people who have read the webtoon it was based on were disappointed with some of the departures from the original story. None of this bothered me, because it had so many high moments.

The Performances

Shin Hye-sun as (19th lifer) Ban Ji-eum. I would die for this character. I would love to see her play a short season of the Korean version of Doctor Who, because she would nail that role. It wasn't just the moments of a beautiful person looking sad about drama, she played the comic parts well, she played the angry parts well, she was downright weird at times in a way that was unsettling, and that totally worked for this character. I now have to go back and see everything this actor has been in before now.

Ahn Bo-hyun as (sad rich boi) Moon Seo-ha. This actor was also really good. He had to play it straight and stoic through much of the series, and that could come across as wooden in some scenes, but then they would let him loose in a scene and it was amazing to watch. His chemistry with Shin Hye-sun was so good, as well.

Ha Yoon-kyung as (spring sunshine) Yoon Cho-won. I loved her in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and this is even better. Her best role yet. The second lead couple in this was (somewhat) less emotional, and that made the slow burn more enjoyable in some ways. But I really loved the scenes with Cho-won and Ji-eum. Just as much fun to watch as the romantic scenes.

Ahn Dong-goo as (the driver) Ha Do-yoon. Somehow, this guy had to be more stoic than Ahn Bo-hyun's character, which made the moments when the emotions leaked out of him even more electric. I wish we'd had a few more episodes to get some happy romantic moments towards the end of the series, but he was still great to watch on screen and did an excellent job.

Cha Chung-hwa as (the niece) Kim Ae-kyung. She was good in Hometown Cha x 3, but I would riot if something bad happened to her character in this drama. Did I riot? Watch and find out!

Lee Si-woo as (the little brother) Ha Do-jin. A delightful character played really well by Lee Si-woo. It was always a fun scene when he showed up.

Lee Chae-min as (one weird guy) Kang Min-gi. I always felt unsettled when this guy was in a scene. In case you had doubts about the guy, he had creepy music following him around the entire series, but the actor didn't really need it.

Kang Myung-joo as (the sad mother) Jo Yoo-seon. I really loved her performances even though they were usually the saddest scenes. She had so few lines, and managed to do alot with them.

Bae Hae-sun as (evil stepmom) Jang Yeon-ok. I especially disliked her. The actor did a great job of playing a shameless, entitled backstabber. Nice to see her get a bigger role (liked her in It's okay to not be okay), even if it is as someone not very nice.

Baek Seung-cheol as (all time bad dad) Ban Hak-su. I hated this character so much, which shows the actor did a great job.

Moon Dong-hyuk as (bad brother) Ban Dong-woo. I loathed and pitied this character, overall another good performance.

Kim Si-a as (the 18th lifer) Yoon Joo-won. She did a very good job in some tough scenes. I'm always amazed at how good some of these young actors are.

Park So-yi as (the young 19th lifer) Ban Ji-eum. Very good in the episodes she showed up. Was fun seeing her onscreen opposite Ahn Bo-hyun.

Lee Han-na as (mystery girl) Han-na. They should have done more with this character or figured out how to do without her completely. They just didn't have the episode time to do her justice. Overall, an okay actor that was completely overshadowed by the other actors.

Seo-ha's Family. I'm usually indifferent to chaebol corporate nonsense, but the actors did an excellent job of making you feel like part of the family. A terrible family, that treated Seo-ha terribly. The uncle (played by Lee Hae-young) was a standout, but they were all good in their own way, including the step-brother.

The past lives. I really enjoyed the different past lives. They didn't always have alot of lines, but they still made you feel something as you got little snapshots of harrowing moments in their lives.

The bad rich boy society guys. Honorable mention. I didn't always know their names, but every scene where they mistreated Ha Do-yoon's character was still infuriating, and that was on the actors as much as the writing.

TL;DR

This show is something special. I highly recommend it if you have any kind of interest in the premise. I will definitely be rewatching it.

Kumpulan Puisi "Apa yang Diharapkan Rel Kereta Api" karya Moon Changgil: BENTUK PERLAWANAN DAN HARAPAN UNTUK KOREA SELATAN

oleh Maretta Dwi Anjani

Judul buku: “Apa yang Diharapkan Rel Kereta Api”

Penulis: Moon Chang Gil

Penerjemah: Kim Young Soo dan Nenden Lilis Aisyah

Penerbit: Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia, Desember 2021

Jumlah halaman: 116 + x halaman

Tidak dapat dielakkan bahwa beberapa tahun terakhir ini segala hal berbau Korea Selatan, mulai dari dunia industri hiburan, fesyen, hingga kuliner, menjadi topik hangat di seluruh dunia. Termasuk karya sastranya. Di Indonesia, berbagai karya sastra dari penulis Korea Selatan telah diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan mendapat sambutan hangat, seperti novel Kim Ji-Yeong, Lahir Tahun 1982 karya Cho Nam-Joo dan novel Almond karya Sohn Won-Pyung. Tidak hanya itu, buku genre non-fiksi self-improvement pun tidak kalah populer, misalnya buku I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki yang ditulis oleh Baek Se-Hee.

Hal ini memberi ruang bagi karya sastra puisi dari Korea Selatan untuk turut menambah warna pada kesastraan di Indonesia. Setelah sebelumnya kumpulan sajak karya Choi Jun berjudul Orang Suci, Pohon Kelapa (2019) hadir menyapa pembaca Indonesia, pada akhir tahun 2021 telah terbit pula kumpulan puisi dari penyair Moon Changgil. Buku kumpulan puisi ini bertajuk Apa yang Diharapkan Rel Kereta Api, diterjemahkan oleh Kim Young Soo dan Nenden Lilis Aisyah.

Melalui 58 puisi yang terbagi ke dalam 4 bagian dalam buku ini, Moon Changgil akan mengajak pembaca untuk ‘minggir’ sejenak dari pusat kota dan ingar-bingar industri hiburan Korea Selatan. Rangkaian diksinya akan membawa kita menyusuri desa, pinggiran kota, ke gang sempit, ke dermaga, ke masa lalu, dan masa depan. Seiring dengan itu, ia menunjukkan harapan-harapan yang dipikul oleh masyarakat kecil; buruh, petani, pekerja harian. Melalui puisinya juga penyair mengingatkan atau memberi tahu kepada pembaca bahwa Korea Selatan, seperti negara lainnya, pun mempunyai luka, mengalami masa-masa kelamnya, ia juga menyimpan mimpi untuk masa yang akan datang. Itulah yang menjadi keistimewaan dari puisi-puisi dalam buku Apa yang Diharapkan Rel Kereta Api ini.

Kecenderungan tema dari puisi-puisi Moon Changgil memang didukung oleh ia yang banyak menaruh perhatian terhadap perjuangan rakyat kecil serta hak asasi manusia. Penyair angkatan ‘80-an ini memulai kiprahnya dalam dunia penulisan puisi lewat kumpulan puisi Duresi Dongin. Pada 1984 hingga 1991, ia tergabung dalam Komunitas Sastra Buruh Guro. Di komunitas tersebut ia berada di Bagian Sastra Persatuan Pemuda Perusahaan Demokratisasi. Selain itu, Moon Changgil juga memimpin media dan aktif di organisasi sastra di Korea, yaitu kelompok Changjak21 dan majalah sastra Changjak21. Selain yang telah disebutkan, masih ada beberapa perhimpunan penyair lainnya yang diikuti Moon Changgil.

Berbicara tentang sastra, tidak dapat dilupakan bahwa sebuah karya sastra ialah buah dari ide dan gagasan sang pengarang. Sastra dapat menjadi cerminan realitas kehidupan. Sastra dapat menjadi senjata; bentuk perlawanan. Penyair Moon Changgil meyakini hal tersebut. Penyair asal Korea Selatan ini berpegang teguh pada semboyan “Pena adalah Senjata”. Ia berpendapat bahwa sastrawan harus menyadari, mengkritik, dan melawan kekerasan yang menghancurkan hayat di bumi ini. Dengan karyanya ini, ia ingin menyampaikan bentuk perlawanan melalui gambaran kehidupan, perasaan, gagasan, juga harapan untuk Korea Selatan. Lalu, bagaimana hal tersebut ditampilkan?

Dimulai dari bagian pertama, yang diberi tajuk Rangkuman 1, kita akan melihat kehidupan masyarakat yang bermatapencaharian sebagai buruh, petani, nelayan, dan pekerja harian. Penyair menuturkan keseharian para warga serta harapan dan mimpi mereka dengan sederhana, rasanya seperti melihat kehidupan mereka dari dekat. Contohnya pada puisi “Wanita dari Ahnyang” (hlm. 7). Digambarkan kesibukan masyarakat di tepi dermaga yang banyak bekerja sebagai nelayan serta penjual ikan segar. Harapan tokoh dalam puisi ditunjukkan lewat larik berikut, “Uang yang ini untuk menyekolahkan anak laki-laki sampai universitas/ lalu uang yang itu untuk membelikan anak perempuan sebuah piano.” (hlm. 7).

Sedangkan pada sebagian puisi lain memunculkan suasana kebalikan dari sebelumnya. Misalnya, pada puisi “Ayahku” pembaca dapat merasakan kesengsaraan dari aku-lirik yang merupakan seorang buruh. Berikut penggalan puisinya,

“Aku jadi buruh di pabrik itu

ingin mendirikan tiang untuk

dunia yang sesungguhnya…

Kalian adalah pemimpin

kami adalah buruh..” (hlm. 14)

Hal yang sama juga tampak pada puisi “Rumput Liar di Atas Aspal”.

“Dalam keadaan mabuk

Suara Seo si tukang kayu yang mengkritik pemerintah

meneriakkan pembersihan Pemerintahan Republik kelima dan

keenam

semakin samar bagaikan minuman keras murah.

Benar, aku dan kamu

adalah rumput liar di atas aspal di negeri kapitalisme ini.” (hlm. 25).

Pada puisi di atas aku-lirik seakan ingin mengatakan bahwa harapan sudah tipis sekali adanya. Puisi tersebut yang menggambarkan kondisi buruh serta rakyat kecil juga sarat akan kritik terhadap negara yang kapitalis. Pesan tersebut tampak disampaikan secara halus melalui kisah-kisah, tetapi dengan bahasanya yang lugas, seakan ingin memberi penegasan, ingin menyuarakan dengan keras dan lantang. Hal itu menjadikan makna puisi ini mudah ditangkap, namun juga tetap mengandung unsur estetikanya.

Puisi, atau karya sastra, memang dapat dijadikan sebagai bentuk perlawanan. Apabila melihat kata ‘puisi’ dan ‘lawan’ dalam satu kalimat, mungkin kita akan teringat pada penyair di Indonesia yang juga menulis puisi yang sarat dengan nada perlawanan serta kritik. Widji Thukul dengan puisi “Nyanyian Akar Rumput”-nya memiliki beberapa kesamaan dengan puisi “Rumput Liar di Atas Aspal” karya Moon Changgil. Di mana rakyat kecil diibaratkan dengan istilah ‘rumput’ yang tidak berdaya, rentan terinjak. Begitu pula dengan istilah ‘aspal’ pada puisi Moon dan ‘jalan raya dilebarkan’ pada puisi Widji, sama-sama digunakan untuk menyebut pembangunan di tengah negara yang makin maju, namun juga makin melebarkan kesenjangan bagi kalangan atas dan kalangan bawah.

Tidak hanya soal rakyat kecil, Moon Changgil juga menuturkan kisah Korea di masa lalu melalui puisinya. Sebelum menjadi negara yang maju seperti saat ini, Korea Selatan sempat mengalami masa-masa bersejarahnya yang sulit dan kelam. Penjajahan Jepang, perang Korea yang membuat semenanjung Korea terbagi menjadi dua di bagian utara dan selatan dan hingga saat ini belum ada perdamaian, pemerintah diktator yang memicu berbagai gerakan demokratisasi, dan masih banyak lagi. Di setiap masa tersebut, bentuk perlawanan dan harapan pun senantiasa ada. Rangkuman 2 dalam buku kumpulan puisi Apa yang Diharapkan Rel Kereta Api mencakup tema-tema tersebut. Puisi pertama dalam bagian ini berjudul “Di Stasiun Woljeong-Ri”. Satu larik dalam puisi ini yang berbunyi “Apa artinya dua lajur rel kereta api yang diharapkan?” (hlm. 31), dijadikan sebagai judul buku kumpulan puisi ini. Lalu, apa gerangan yang diharapkan rel kereta api? Jawabannya ada pada larik setelahnya: unifikasi, reformasi.

Terbaginya Semenanjung Korea menjadi dua merupakan dampak dari perang Korea 70 tahun lalu. Perang yang terjadi selama beberapa tahun itu turut memisahkan masyarakat Korea dari anggota keluarganya. Sejak perang berakhir dan hingga saat ini kedua pihak dari Korea belum ada perdamaian resmi, hanya ada gencatan senjata. Perdamaian antara Korea Selatan dan Korea Utara sejatinya merupakan harapan banyak pihak. Moon Changgil sebagai penyair mewakilkan harapan tersebut.

Puisi yang bertajuk “Kita Adalah Satu” (hlm. 36-37). memberi suasana semangat persatuan, perdamaian, dan harapan. Puisi ini ditulis sehubungan dengan kunjungan Lim Sookyeong ke Korea Utara. Lim Sookyeong merupakan representatif dari warga Korea Selatan yang mengunjungi The 13th World Festival of Youth and Students di Pyongyang, Korea Utara, pada 1989. Pada saat itu presiden Korea Selatan melarang penduduknya untuk pergi ke utara, namun dengan keberaniannya, demi bisa mencapai Korea Utara, Lim Sookyeong melakukan perjalanan dari satu negara ke negara lain: dari Seoul, ke Tokyo, ke Jerman Barat, lalu ke Jerman Timur untuk kemudian terbang ke Pyongyang. Tekadnya dalam peristiwa itu membuat Lim dijuluki sebagai Flower of Unification. Ia telah membangkitkan semangat persatuan masyarakat. Hal itu tercermin dalam puisi “Kita Adalah Satu”. Lariknya berbunyi, “Esok pagi jiwa unifikasi akan merasuk/ sampai kalbuku yang terdalam.” lalu puisi ditutup dengan larik yang sama kuatnya: “Kita adalah satu.”

Puisi yang dijadikan contoh di atas hanyalah satu dari berbagai kilasan peristiwa sejarah Korea yang diangkat penyair dalam puisinya. Selain dari suasana persatuan, kebanyakan puisi tersebut bernuansa pilu. Misalnya mengenai perempuan-perempuan yang menjadi korban pelampiasan hasrat seksual tentara Barat. Ia menggambarkan bagaimana harapan rakyat terinjak-injak seiring dengan terjadinya perang dan datangnya penjajah. Dengan itu, ia juga tetap menyuarakan perlawanan, misalnya saja pada puisi “Di Maehyang-Ri” yang berisi seruan kepada penjajah untuk pergi dari tanah Korea. Puisi Moon Changgil mengingatkan bahwa, dengan mengingat sejarah-lah maka kita bisa belajar untuk membangun masa depan yang lebih indah. Penyair menyatakan hal tersebut dengan apik sekaligus ironi pada puisi "Buku Catatan Putih". Penggalannya sebagai berikut.

entah sejak kapan bunga-bunga liar

yang berwarna putih bagaikan buku catatan putih

tumbuh berdiri menggantikan batu nisan.

Mereka mengajarkan sejarah

yang seharusnya dipelihara orang-orang yang masih hidup. (hlm. 45).

Pada bagian-bagian selanjutnya, Moon Changgil tetap mempertahankan fokusnya dengan menuturkan kisah dalam puisi dari sudut pandang masyarakat kecil. Rangkuman 3 berisi puisi-puisi yang lebih mengungkapkan emosi, rasa sepi, renungan, serta lingkungan alam. Dan di bagian terakhir, di Rangkuman 4, mengisahkan potongan-potongan kehidupan di Seoul yang getir, sulit, dan pahit.

Begitulah bunyi perlawanan dan harapan yang ditampilkan penyair dalam kumpulan puisi Apa yang Diharapkan Rel Kereta Api. Harapan yang dipikul masyarakat kecil di tengah segala nestapa yang mereka alami. Harapan manusia. Harapan yang rasanya kian terkikis. Harapan untuk perdamaian. Harapan tentang alam. Harapan untuk keadilan dan kesetaraan. Nyatanya, dengan harapan-lah kita bisa bertahan. Sekecil apapun itu, harapan menjadi alasan kita untuk tetap berjalan. Di balik lembar buku sejarah Korea yang menyimpan kisah pilu, kita bisa berharap untuk Korea yang lebih baik di masa depan. Di tengah kondisi dunia yang serba cepat dan maju tanpa memedulikan orang-orang yang ada di pinggiran, kita masih bisa berharap untuk hidup yang lebih baik. Dengan harapan itu maka kita berjuang, melawan.

Demikian, puisi-puisi karangan Moon Changgil akhirnya membawa kita menyusuri Korea dari sisi lain yang mungkin belum banyak diketahui oleh orang-orang sebelumnya. Membaca puisi ini penting tidak hanya untuk masyarakat Korea namun juga luar Korea sebagai pembelajaran. Topik-topik yang diangkat penyair yang meliputi rakyat kecil, persatuan, perdamaian, kesetaraan, hak asasi, dan lain sebagainya merupakan persoalan universal yang dapatdijumpai di masyarakat di tempat mana pun, di masa apapun. Persoalan ini tidak lekang oleh zaman.

"Pena adalah senjata", begitu yang diyakini oleh Moon Changgil. Dan melalui karyanya ini, buku kumpulan puisi Apa yang Diharapkan Rel Kereta Api, ia tidak hanya menyajikan puisi sebagai alat perlawanan dengan cara sehalus dan seapik mungkin, namun juga menumbuhkan harapan-harapan bagi yang membacanya.

The Oath

XX. Fire

Nilah tried to wipe away salt from her eyes. But her face was still hot and wet and throat tight.

She heard voices of the villagers. Cheerful laughter and kids screaming and singing.

There was huge bonfire in the middle of the clearing. People sitting around on the logs, talking and eating food from big table that stood aside.

“Nilah! You came!” Miho and his pack run to her with colourful faces. They had flower wreaths they made with her that day, and their eyes sparkle in the light of the flames.

“you must eat this!” “And drink this!” they were shouting one over another “my mum baked this!” she was suddenly overwhelmed by their joy; she almost forgot her pain. “Where is Yeong shin? Will he come?”

Her smile froze on her lips. She really doesn’t know what to say.

“I... think...” She stuttered.

“Kids! Leave her alone for a one night. She deserves grown company for a while.” It was that older lady who met them, when they came to village for the first time. Whose son Yeong shin saved when plague broke. Plague he helped spread. She bites her tongue and blink away tears.

“How are you Nilah?” woman touch her forearm with concern.

“I’m good, thank you madam Bon-Hwa.” She bows her head. She had respect for older woman that helped them even though they were strangers.

“You cried, am I right?” older woman gave her cup with rice wine and wink “this will help.”

“Thank you. It’s, just...” what kind of words she should used? Nothing? How could it be!

“Leave it my dear. I don’t want to questioning you. Tonight, we should celebrate, sing and laugh. Let me paint your face.”

Bon-Hwa leads her to nearest log and kids brings colours. Some of them was like powder and some was thick. When older woman wet her fingertips in red colours and touch her face, Nilah felt chill running down her spine. She felt cold sweat on her palms and faster heartbeat.

“Why are you doing this?” she swallows hardly and try to calm down. She remembers painting faces from her homeland and every time she had colours on her skin, someone died. People in her land painted their faces when they were leaving to battle, to scared the enemies or when they sacrifice someone, to be closer to gods.

Nilah always hated it.

“It’s just for luck.” Bon-Hwa smiled calmly. “I draw symbols of luck on your temple. This is wisdom...and courage...” she wet her index finger in white colour and marked her forehead. “and protection.”

It feels like the chill turned into warmth. Her lips spread in a smile.

“You are very good girl Nilah.”

Something motherly sparkle in older woman’s eyes and she hug Nilah. “and now, drink!”

And Nilah drinks. And eat, but everything had sour aftertaste. It would be perfect night if there wasn’t terrible truth she knows. And the hardest part was that she missed Yeong shin. She wanted to be with him.

She finished her cup when people start to smile and turning to her. Like they were expecting something.

She was confused, but Bon-hwa patted her shoulder. “it’s your turn.”

“In what?”

“To perform something. Sing, dance, tell a story.”

Maybe it was because of wine or because it was the first time when her neighbours were smiling at her. It wasn’t usual. Or maybe it was that symbol for courage that Bon-hwa draw on her face.

She stood up and took a deep breath. There were a couple of men with string instruments and one of them looked almost like lyre she used to play. Musician gladly burrow it to her.

Nilah stood close to the fire and all eyes were on her.

“I must confess, I don’t know much songs from this land in your language. I will sing a song from the place I was born. It’s about sea and... endless love.”

From her spot it looks like the faces of villagers glow. Flames shine and she starts playing and singing.

Between the here, between the now

Between the North, between the South

Between the West, between the East

Between the time, between the place

From the shell

The song of the sea

Neither quite nor calm

Searching for love again

Mo ghrá

In the crowd she saw Yeongshin, watching her with sad face. He was standing behind, far from others, but he was there, hidden in shadows. She swallowed hard lump when she realised that no matter what he did...it was her Yeong shin. Man, who always protects others first. Man, who run to his last breath to save others.

What he did was wrong. But she knows him. He was just trying to save everyone, and it doesn’t matter if it cost him his soul.

Nilah finished her song and made her way through the crowd to him. He was standing there with head hung low like beat dog.

“Yeong shin...” she touches his face and can’t find right words. But then it slips through her lips so naturally that she can’t stop it. “...mo ghrá”

He raised his eyes to her with surprise. He probably wasn’t expecting kind words even though he can’t understand what that means. Her gentle face, glowing eyes and warm smile gave him feeling that it’s a good thing.

“My love.” she whispered again and this time he understands. Her lips found his with need. His arms sneaked around her waist and held her tight.

“I’m sorry Nilah, I should...” he whispered with urge. “Please stay. I always thought that I have only purpose. To be hunter and killer. But you give me hope that I can have more. You make me feel things I didn’t think were possible for me.” All around them was just like blur that doesn’t matter. All he cares about was his woman in his arms.

His warm embrace, sparkling eyes and hot lips were all she was focused. Until someone scream.

“Fire!” it was like hard blown into chest. “There is fire! Bring water! Quickly!”

Sky was suddenly illuminated by high flames. One of the houses was on fire and house right next to it starts to smoke.

Smoke and scream were everywhere. People were running around with buckets of water, shouting at each other looking for their families and friends.

“it’s Jae-Bong’s house!” Yeongshin was pulling her closer to house that were slowly eating by flames. Doors were wide open and two men were dragging Jae-Bong outside. Village leader was coughing and crying in pain. Nilah and Yeong shin run to them and help them lay big man to grass. Nilah’s stomach drops when she saw his leg. His ankle was in weird shape and skin was burned with nasty blisters.

“One of the burning beams fell right on him!”

Nilah kneeled to Jae-Bong, holding his hand and tried to calm him, but he was still out of his mind, crying and trying to get back to the house.

Then everything happens in blink of an eye.

She understands what was Jae-Bong whining. Her head spun and cold run down her spine when she heard it.

It was cry.

But not Jae-Bong’s.

It was Miho inside the burning house.

And Yeong shin heard him sooner. She didn’t have time to grab his hand.

“YEONG SHIN!” all she could do was just scream, when her beloved man run and disappear in the smoke and flames. Her heart stops beating in fear.

She leaves crying Jae Bong and grabs nearest bucket and starts to carrying water. She can’t even get close enough to toss water in the flames because of the high heat.

She desperately cries when she can’t see any movement in the house. Just cruel dance of flames and swirling of smoke.

“My son! Miho!” Jae Bong’s cry was filling her ears and hard lump was forming in her throat. It can’t be like this. Yeongshin will survive this. He can’t leave her here. But he was nowhere to be seen and house was completely in flames.

“Yeong shin! Please! “she cried desperately and trying to see through the flames.

And suddenly, out of the fire jumped silhouette with little boy tangled in blanket. He was holding him tightly pressed to his chest and struggling to make another step.

Nilah run to him when someone took crying Miho from his arms. She panicked when Yeongshin collapsed into her arms with tired sign. She never saw him so devastated.

“I got you. Its all right!” his skin was so hot it was almost painful to touch him. Few spots on his shirt were smoking and burning. She quickly jerked it from his body to not to burn through and hurt his skin. His chest and backs were dirty of ash with angrily red spots where flames bite his flesh.

They both collapsed on their knees. Yeong shin pressed his face to her chest when she was trying to find someone with water. In the meantime, she wrapped his beat torso into her plaid.

“Miho?” he croaks with raspy voice.

“He is safe. He is with Jae Bong. You saved him.” Nilah saw little boy in arms of his father, crying loudly. He was probably little burned and scared, but alive. Only thanks to Yeong shin.

“Nilah...” his voice was weak and painful. His shaking palms squeeze her upper arms with urge. “...my eyes...I can’t see.”

Shock hit her body like a wave. She carefully touches his face and lift his chin. His face was lightly red but his eyes were glossy and swollen.

“Oh gods, no!” she was scared to touch him, not to hurt him. He was suddenly so vulnerable. “Let’s get you home.”

There was no one to help her. Everyone was trying to stops the fire and it was obvious that villagers were wining against the flames.

“Hold on.” She knew that it will be hard, but she needs to get him home. She helped him stood up and than turned her back on him and with clenched teeth lifted him on her back.

“No... Nilah, I can walk on my own.” He tried to protest, but his voice was terribly weak.

Her muscles were burning and shaking, but each step bring them closer to home.

“It will be good. You will rest and everything will be fine.” She tried to calm him. To calm herself, but her eyes were watering even though she was trying to be strong.

Yeong shin can’t be blind. That word makes her sick. His sharp eyes were his greatest power. No matter what happened, good or bad; she always remembered his look, how his eyes focused on target when he was trying to shoot Cho Hak Joo.

She remembered his eyes when he found her in Hanyang, tired and broken, how carefully he was examined her and how surprised his eyes were, when met hers.

She cannot lose his tender look he was watching her every morning. Eyes that were watching over her.

His head was resting on her shoulder when she made her way over the hill. It was low hill, but she felt rivulets of sweat running down her face. Yeong shin was heavy and when he lost consciousness his body became heavier.

“I will take care of you, just stay with me, please!”

His only response was slight movement of his thumb that caressed exposed skin on her arm. His breaths were shallow but it was sign that he is still with her.

Their house was absolute opposite of the village. It was quiet, dark and calm, and it was absolute opposite of Nilah’s feelings. She was desperate, scared and exhausted.

Yeong shin wasn’t huge man. He was just a little taler than Nilah, but still, after almost mile of dragging his barely consciousness body, she was on the edge of her powers.

Her sweat was mixed with tears when she put him down on their sleeping mattress. Just painful moan leaves his lips.

“We are home.” She tried to calm him and touch his forehead. His skin was burning with fewer.

All she could do was cool down his body. Quickly she brings bucket of fresh water and soaked towels and put them on his forehead and ankles. She wet clean cloth and carefully touch his dried lips to get at least some water into his body.

“Yeong shin. Please wake up.” Nilah cried holding his hand in her palms. His arm was so heavy and lifeless it scared her to the bone. She kissed his knuckles and lean her forehead on back of his hand. “I can’t be without you. You are my everything.”

And after long time she prayed. She prayed to her old gods and made a promise. She was willing to sacrifice everything just to save him.

Again, and again, she was changing cold towels and wet his lips until sun woke up and lit up the room with soft light.

Nilah’s look didn’t leave his face, until she falls asleep curled to his side.

It was short restless sleep full of nightmares. She woke up with fresh tears in her eyes and heavy heart.

“Nilah?” his voice was weak, tired and hoarse.

“Gods! Yeong shin. I’m here, you are safe.” She sobs and held his raised palm. “ How do you feel? Are you hot, or cold?”

“Sick.” He whispered and touch his face with his free hand. “My head...ache.”

“I know. You were in great heat.” She put fresh cloth on his forehead. Sigh of relief leaves his lips.

“Yes, I remember.” His fingertips examined skin around his eyes. They were still swollen and red. “I guess it’s not deep night.”

Fresh tears leave Nilah’s eyes and she bite her lip not to sob out loud. His eyes...

“You still can’t see? Anything?”

Yeong shin raised his hand at touch her cheek.

“I’m holding your face, I feel it. Your warm skin. I feel your tears on my fingertips. But all I can see is darkness.” His voice was rough probably from the smoke he inhaled inside the burning house.

“Are you in pain?” her voice broke and she lower her face with cry.

“Nilah...” he was gentle when his hands found her and pulled her to his chest. “I’m not. Just...maybe little. But I will live.”

She cried to his chest, heartbroken. Her brave chakho.

Quiet knock on the door interrupted their painful moment. Nilah cautiously open the door to find Bon-Hwa with her son. They both looked tired and sad. Dark circles under glossy eyes. They probably weren’t sleeping whole night.

“Good morning Nilah.” They both tried to smile but it was weak. “we brought soup and some treatments.”

Nilah heard their voices like from distance. She leans on the wall and closed her eyes, just for a moment. Her face was tingling and she can feel her fingers cold and legs light. Her body was too exhausted to stay awake.

“Catch her!” she heard Bon-Hwa’s voice when dark surrounded her for a short moment. Her legs betrayed her and she was falling until young boy caught her under her arm. He helped her to sit on the porch and Bon-Hwa pressed flask with alcohol to her lips.

“Come on child. We must be strong for others.”

Strong spirit almost burned her throat but it helps. She coughs and felt heat flew through her body.

“How is Yeong shin?” Bon-Hwa sat next to her with worried face. Her son was unpacking bowls with food.

“I don’t know...” her voice was weak and tears sting in her eyes.

“Jae Bong and Miho are safe. Their house is burned to the ground, but they are safe. Thanks to Yeong shin.”

“His eyes...” Nilah sobbed and Bon-Hwa quickly hugged her. “He is blind.”

Older woman bites her lip and her eyes saddened. “Eyes are mysterious thing. Give it time. There is tea for pain and some aloe ointment for burns. Lot of people were hurt. We were visiting houses and bring food and medicines. That’s all I can do.”

“Where will Jae-Bong live?” she wiped her tears away and swallow hard lump in her throat.

One fire. How quickly it spread and how much pain and misery it makes.

“They will stay with us. Jae-Bong is my cousin. I must take care of my family. Yeong shin saved Miho’s life. If there is anything, I can do...”

“You are very kind. Thank you for food and medicine.”

Nilah found Yeong shin curled on his side with arms around his chest and deeply asleep. She at least covers his wounds with healing ointment. His breathing was calm and steady, but his eyebrows furrowed with pain.

Bon-hwa’s tea smelled awfully but Yeong shin drink it with almost one gulp and fall asleep again.

Later she made him eat a little bit of soup. It was strong chicken broth. It smells delicious and tastes even better.

“All of it tastes like ash.” Yeong shin grunted and put down the bowl carefully, but still spilling it.

“It will get better.” She wiped spilled soup. “In Hanyang, when I was burned, I smelled fire almost whole week.”

Yeong shin nods. Sun illuminates his face for a moment and he immediately jerked away with painful face.

“Does it hurt?” She can’t stand his eyes painfully shut. It was tearing her heart. He was still desperately looking for her and all he could find was darkness. “You want me to cover your eyes? It could help. Let them rest for a while.”

Nilah found her best scarf that he bought for her in village. It was made from soft silk. She wants something not to hurt his face that was still little sensitive.

“I’m here.” She whispered and at first touch his shoulder, to let him know where she is.

Gently she covered his eyes with dark blue scarf and tied it on the back of his head. He touches his face and shift the scarf a little. His fingers were lightly trembling when he was examined the position of scarf.

“Is it comfortable? If you want to lose...” he just nods. His lips in tight line. “Yeong shin?” her voice broke when she noticed his trembling chin.

He was crying.

He lifted his hand and she immediately caught him, pulling his head to her chest. He grips her upper arms like anchor and cried.

“I don’t want to be in darkness. I can’t stand it.”

Her heart ache and fresh tears wet her face. Nilah hated how helpless she suddenly felt. It was worse than be locked up in prison. It was worse than Sang-Ho pushing her down to the ground, violating her body. See Yeong shin suffer was the worst thing in her life.

See him suffer and can’t do anything.

“I’m blind for a day and I already miss your face.”

“please don’t...” she choked, biting her lip not to sob loudly. “I’m still here, still same. Still yours.”

Soon-ae Hong (the mother of Hak Ja Han) spent two years in Chuncheon Prison after Ansu beating an 18-year old boy to death.

▲ Soon-ae Hong (left) with Hak Ja Han and Yeong-choon Oh in 1960.

There was even an incident that occurred in 1957. An old woman, Jae-geon Kim, and Soon-ae Hong (the mother of Hak Ja Han who is currently the wife of Sun Myung Moon) were released after a two year sentence in Chuncheon Prison. The two women had been charged with beating a mentally-ill boy to death during an Ansu session. He was about 18 years old. They had guaranteed that they could cure the mental abnormality with their divine powers.

1957년도에는 이런 일도 있었다. 18세 가량의 정신이상자인 소년 하나를 김재건 노파와 홍순애 (현재 문 선명의 부인인 한 학자의 모친)여인이 자기네들의 신통력으로 정신이상증세를 고칠 수 있다고 장담하면서 지나치게 안수. 안찰을 하다 결국 맞아 죽은 사건이 발생하여 두 여인은 강원도 춘천형무소에서 2년간에

page 336 from the book

The Identity of Sun Myung Moon (1) by Myung-hui Kim published in 1987

Soon-ae Hong was in Kook-ju Hwang’s Sex cult (She was a follower for three years) Dr. Yang Chang-Shik, December 1998: [Hong Soon-Ae also known as] Dae Mo Nim* was born on February 22, 1914 in Jung Joo to Hong Eu-Il (father) and Cho Won-Mo (mother) who were sincere Christians. … she gave birth to True Mother on January 6, 1943 in An Joo, Southern Pyung An province. Dae Mo Nim was practicing the Christian faith sincerely at the “New Jesus Church” which was led by Reverends Lee Yong-Do and Hwang Gook-Joo.

Was Hak Ja Han illegitimate?

Did Soon-ae Hong really try to kill Hak Ja Han?

About the author, Myung-hui Kim

Myung-hui Kim, the author of this book, devoted 15 years of his life to Sun Myung Moon from January 26, 1963 to March 1978. At Sun Myung Moon’s special direction he was authorized to resolve the Sutaek-ri [Guri] land case, and the Ilhwa Pharmaceutical tax evasion case. While dealing with and resolving Sun Myung Moon’s confidential cases, Myung-hui Kim uncovered corruption, illegality, and fraud – and the enormous evil schemes of Sun Myung Moon and his religious group. Kim made an effort to take corrective action, keeping a sense of mission for the future of the religious group and society.

For instance, on August 12, 1977 Kim invited 37 leaders of the Unification Church to get together for a policy meeting and to take corrective action. When the leaders did not show any sign of reflecting on the issues, or taking corrective action, following a time extension after the meeting, Kim informed various members of society and disclosed Sun Myung Moon’s fraud and the risk of danger from him.

Because of Kim’s activities against Sun Myung Moon, the Sun Myung Moon religious group compensated Kim’s private expenses, which he had incurred while solving the problems of the religious group. They then put Kim in prison on charges of demands for money using blackmail. They told Kim to suspend his campaign against Sun Myung Moon for compensation of 1 billion Korean won and also offered to help Kim emigrate from Korea to the United States, both of which he refused. Undaunted, following his release from prison, Kim carefully collected information on Sun Myung Moon for over seven years and then published this book.

Sam Park referred to Hak Ja Han and Soon-ae Hong in his July 2014 video “The only criterion he gave to finding his new bride was that she be a “nobody” and a girl where parental approval was unnecessary. As a teenager, Hak Ja Han was smart, hard-working and pretty, but unfortunately for her, she had a mother [Soon-ae Hong] who was both ignorant and unkind. In many ways, Hak Ja Han was a victim of circumstance, since she was the illegitimate product of an affair between her single mother and a married man, with whom she attended the same sex cult prior to her joining the UC, where she ended up working in the kitchen as a maid. Since Hak Ja Han’s biological father didn’t claim her as his daughter, parental approval was never an issue.”
