Sunny, a North Korean refugee on Youtube

But there was human intimacy and connection, something that is hard to find in the modern world I inhabit today.

In Order to Live by Yeonmi Park

I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.

Various escape routes from North to South Korea.

An Outline

1) The Known: Introducing the Topic

Opening the essay with baseline/ known perceptions of North Korea. Discussing the nature of the regime, its’ leaders (things media has covered). 

2) A Brief History

Establishing important events in history that made the two Koreas that we know today. 

3) The Unknown: What Media doesn’t cover

Shedding light on the not-so-talked-about notions of North Korea through testimonies/ stories of North Koreans, North Korean refugees/ defector, South Koreans, Korean diaspora. 

List of potential people:

Yeonmi Park (defector), Danny (defector), Danny’s mother (defector), Ahn Chul (North Korean who secretly filming the streets of North Korea), Kenneth Bae (A Korean American missionary), Dong-hyuk Shin (defector), Sunny (North Korean Youtuber)     

4) How to Process 

Making sense of all the information from points 1-3 through my voice/ the voice of my 3rd person character, a Korean American. 

Some questions to ask while processing the information

What have you learned? What do you think? How do you feel? What in particular stuck out/ was compelling? Any criticisms? Where do you go from here? Where does the world go from here? What are your views on reunification? Is it near in the future or is there still a long way to go?

Project Proposal

Through my visual essay, I will be creating a narrative exploring both broad and intricate perceptions of North Korea, stemming my writing and imagery from testimonies/ personal anecdotes of those affiliated with North Korea (ex. North Koreans, refugees/ defectors, missionaries, South Koreans, Korean diaspora, etc). This essay seeks to bring a more raw representation of the current crisis in North Korea, bringing awareness and lending a voice to the voiceless who continue to suffer under the regime.
