Suna in Wonderland

Every 25^th of June, people in Korea become a little depressed. That’s because 60 years ago today, Korean war has occurred. To be honest, Young generation, including myself does not really know the real pain of the war, it is more of history for us. Even my dad was born one year after the war. (1954)

However that does not mean, we do not have feeling  towards all our ancestors who sacrificed their life. During June, people try not to have fun and remember the sad history.  When I was young, School usually arranged trip to war museum, make event such as writing ‘Thank you’ letter to soldiers and hold essay competition with theme of ” Korean war”. Plus TV series and movies related to Korea War would be aired a lot during June and it still does.

This Year, I was bit nervous to go through this Memorial Day. After Cheon-An boat sink incident, relationship between North and South Korea became very sour and war rumors spread around  the South Korea. Some rumor even said, North Korea would invade South Korea again on 25^th of June, just like 60 years ago. Most of Korean that I know did not believe this rumors but I am sure they were hoping that this rumors would not become real.  Thankfully it did not happen. (It should never ever happen!!)

Unfortunately, between North and South Korea, the War is officially not finished.   I personally want country to become unify, but war is not an option for me. I really hope one day, Korea will become ONE peacefully.

And today I express my sorrow over all the lost lives during the war.
