Podcasts about jihyun park

Jihyun Park est née sous le régime totalitaire de Kim Il-sung, tandis que Seh-Lynn, Sud-Coréenne, a grandi entre plusieurs continents. Toutes deux sont aujourd'hui installées à Londres, où elles se sont rencontrées. De cette rencontre est né le livre bouleversant Deux Coréennes (Ed. Buchet-Chastel, 2019), le récit de Jihyun mis en mots par Seh-Lynn. Ce livre évoque le quotidien dans un système où peur, famine et propagande façonnent chaque geste, et où la loyauté au parti détermine le destin de chacun-e. On y suit l'enfance de Jihyun marquée par l'idéologie du régime et les divisions sociales, avant qu'elle ne fuie en Chine. Jihyun Park et Seh-Lynn mettront en lumière les contradictions du système nord-coréen, où même la fidélité au pouvoir ne garantit pas la survie. Parallèlement, leurs prises de parole ouvriront un dialogue entre deux visions de la Corée, explorant la douleur partagée et la quête d'une identité coréenne commune, malgré la fracture géopolitique. Enregistré au Club 44 le 12 février 2025 Dans le cadre de la Nuit de la Photo et du Printemps Culturel Neuchâtel

Introducing Bae Myung-hoon's short story [The Peppers of Green Scallion], we talk about the division of Korea into north and south. Translated by Jihyun Park and Gord Sellar

North Korea is an open-air prison from which there is no escape. Only a handful of men and women have succeeded. Jihyun Park is one of these rare survivors. Twice she left the land of the 'socialist miracle' to flee famine and dictatorship. By the age of 29 she had already witnessed a lifetime of suffering. Family members had died of starvation; her brother was beaten nearly to death by soldiers. Even smiling and laughing was discouraged. The first time she ran, she was forced to abandon her father on his deathbed - crossing the border under a hail of bullets. In China she was sold to a farmer, with whom she had a son, before being denounced and forcibly returned to North Korea. Six months later guards abandoned her, injured, outside a prison camp. She recovered and returned China to seek her son, now six, before attempting to navigate the long, hard road through the Gobi Desert and into Mongolia. Clear-eyed and resolute, Jihyun's extraordinary story reveals a Korea far removed from the talk of nuclear weapons and economic sanctions. She remains sanguine despite the hardship. Recalling life's tiny pleasures even at her darkest moments, she manages to instill her tale with incredible grace and humanity. Beautifully written with South Korean compatriot Seh-lynn Chai, this compelling book offers a stark lesson in determination, and ultimately in the importance of asylum.

Michelle Yeoh is no fan of glass ceilings. Neither her age, nor her nationality, nor her gender can stop her from taking Hollywood by storm. Fresh off a Golden Globe award for her virtuoso performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once, Yeoh leads the list of contenders for this year's Best Actress Oscar. Her star vehicle is an idiosyncratic movie about a Chinese laundromat owner thrust into a mission to save all possible universes. Yeoh joins Christiane in London to discuss the film and her action-packed career.  Also on today's show: authors Jihyun Park & Seh-Lynn Chai; Emmy-award winner Eddie Izzard To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Since we can’t pick up universal translators on The Enterprise or through the TARDIS, we have to rely on human translators to bring fantasy stories across cultures. We all know that something is always lost in translation, but what is gained when a story transitions from one language and culture to another? Chen Malul tells the story of Israeli pilots who translated The Hobbit while in captivity. Olga Zilberbourg remembers the Soviet version of The Wizard of Oz – which was very different from the original story. Emily Jin discusses the nuances of translating Chinese science fiction at a time when everyday life in China feels like sci-fi. And translators Gord Sellar and Jihyun Park explain how feminism revitalized SF literature in South Korea.

This week I sit down with Jihyun Park, a North Korean Defector, who tells me about her harrowing escape from North Korea in 1998. Jihyun reveals her experience of fleeing the darkest place on Earth, being human trafficked in China and forced into a marriage with a Chinese farmer with whom she had baby boy, and being separated from him for years. Jihyun highlights her experience of being reported to Chinese authorities and being sent back to North Korea, the torture she faced in a forced labour camp, and her brush with death while in captivity. Today Jihyun lives in the UK; she is a Human Rights Activist that campaigns for the rights of all North Koreans and helps North Korean refugees in the UK rebuild their lives. Note: I encourage listeners to head to my YouTube channel where you can experience Jihyun’s story with visuals and subtitles, to fully immerse yourself in her story.
