I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 264

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (264)

“Your Majesty, what are you going to do?”

“I’ll just watch for now.”

“But it seems like the Korean-Americans here want the enemy to step forward?”

“It doesn’t look very good. I won’t be interfering with this matter for the time being.”

“All right.”

This is the Daedeok County official residence.

I kicked out Deputy Chief Cho Dae-soo from the office.

It’s true that I feel bad that a Korean is involved in a big incident overseas, but if you look at it objectively, this has nothing to do with Korea.

The Korean-Americans are legally Americans, and the perpetrators who harassed the Americans and even fired guns are also Americans.

Then isn’t this an American problem?

However, American public opinion has turned the frame of the mass shooter into a ‘Korean’, and Koreans are also turning this issue into a ‘Korea VS America’ issue.

But what benefit will it bring to both countries if I step forward here?

First, let’s watch America’s reaction.

‘I have no intention of forming an organization like the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan. So, do what you want.’

Why did North Korea support Chongryon? No, why did Chongryon become a closed organization that relies on North Korea?

For Koreans who are treated as lower class in Japan, North Korea’s help is absolute. In fact, Chongryon has been granted citizenship status in North Korea and has even had seven members attend the North Korean Supreme Council.

Is there any other option for them besides North Korea?

In this way, 60% of Koreans in Japan defected to North Korea, which maximized the isolation of Chongryon.

They have no intention of learning Japanese, no will to assimilate into Japanese society, and even show hostility toward South Korea despite the collapse of North Korea.

“Pyongyang became a sea of ​​fire because of South Korea’s air raids!!”

“I will definitely get revenge on this grudge!! Let’s just wait and see!!”

“The South Korean puppet is the enemy of the motherland!!”

How can I accept people who say things like this as part of Korea?

It would be better for Koreans to naturalize in Japan and live like Japanese people. They just can’t be reformed.

So what if we apply this logic to the United States?

Koreans who went to America and worked hard on sugarcane and orange plantations,

If he had worked so hard to earn money, he would have used it to support his own living, but he would have contributed greatly to Korea’s independence movement.

It is a historical fact that even after the provisional government virtually collapsed, Mr. Ahn Chang-ho continued to maintain contact with the provisional government and provided funds for independence.

Who could have made that possible?

The United States is only a temporary home for displaced people who have lost their country. Mr. Ahn Chang-ho was also taken to the U.S. State Department due to visa issues and was sentenced to deportation several times.

Did Korean-Americans really want to put down roots in America?

I guess I thought I’d be able to return home someday, but now too much time has passed.

My children are also studying in the US, is it realistically possible for them to return to Korea?

In that case, learning English and living as a member of American society is not a bad idea.

But if I drag this incident into a ‘Korea vs. America’ situation and make the Korean community dependent on Korea like the Chongryon, what’s the point of that?

Closed organizations are bound to become isolated at some point.

So we’re just watching to see if the U.S. government can sort this out on its own.

The Korean community is now a part of America, so are we going to divide it into ‘whites vs. Asians’?

Although the U.S. government tried to look at this incident objectively, public opinion in the U.S. was against Korea.

The United States and South Korea currently have a somewhat complicated relationship, having maintained a strong alliance over the past 30 years, but recently, there have been many in the United States who are wary of South Korea.

There is a conspiracy theory going around in the US that Jews rule the US. Is Korea free from such things?

There was also the recent incident where Professor Dean Rusk, who tried to arbitrarily hand over Dokdo to Japan, was expelled from the University of Georgia, and American society expressed its wariness, saying that Korea has now reached the level of dominating American public opinion.

So I took a step back, if we handle this case well in the US, I will have no influence in the US.

Whether Korean Americans will become part of Chongryon or become part of American society will depend on America’s attitude, and that is how the trial began.

***

“Defendant, please testify.”

“Yes, I have a lot to say.”

This is America,

The Korean man in court raised his head and continued his testimony.

His current status is that of a criminal who killed white people in a mass shooting, but the words coming out of this mass murderer’s mouth have turned American society upside down.

“Both my parents are American. I have lived my life believing that I am American. But those kids are not like that. Whenever they get a chance, they jeer at me and tell me to go back to my country, and when I ignore them, they harm me.”

“How specifically did you threaten him?”

“This is the proof.”

The assailant lifted up his upper garment.

The stomach is full of knife wounds. Is this really what the victims did to the perpetrator? First of all, according to the police investigation, it was confirmed that the perpetrator did not commit self-harm.

The question is whether the court will accept this as evidence, and if it is accepted, the victims will have to admit that the perpetrator did terrible things to them.

Then some people will tell the victims, ‘You died well.’

But is it right to justify this incident in that way?

The judge is concerned about that,

The perpetrator was forced to admit his wrongdoing.

“I fully understand that you were bullied. Anyone who suffered such terrible injuries would feel anger and extreme fear towards the person. But is that a justification for killing the person?”

“Then what should I have done? Should I have talked to those who stabbed me in the stomach with a knife? I will not admit my wrongdoing. Those who deserved to die have died.”

The bereaved family was speechless.

Public opinion in America is split in half because of what their own children did, so are we going to condemn the perpetrators in this situation?

Some of the bereaved family members continued to make such excuses.

“It’s not fair to stab someone with a knife and shoot someone with a gun. This is not self-defense. The perpetrator clearly fired the gun with the intent to kill. What you’re saying now is just a sophistry to make yourself the victim.”

“Who is the victim?!! Did I ask for your sympathy?!! Did I beg you for forgiveness?!! Let me tell you clearly!! Those who deserved to die are dead!! I have no intention of asking for your forgiveness!!”

The court was literally in a panic,

The bereaved family has no intention of forgiving the perpetrator, and the perpetrator has no intention of asking for forgiveness from the bereaved family.

What is clear is that this incident began with the victims harassing the perpetrator for eight months.

Above all, since evidence of damage was found on the perpetrator’s body, it was difficult to pin the blame on one side.

“I will make a ruling. According to the doctor’s diagnosis, defendant James Lee is mentally unstable. The court will take this into consideration and apply a mental infirmity penalty, and recommend that he undergo treatment in a psychiatric ward for the next three years.”

“Wow!!!”

“Justice has triumphed!!!”

Korean community members who appeared in the courtroom cheered three times.

This is still being pushed as a ‘Korea VS the US’ issue, but the Korean government has never intervened in this incident.

They have never summoned the U.S. ambassador, nor have they made an official statement on this trial. What on earth does the Korean community want?

First of all, this incident prompted the Korean government to start distancing itself from the Korean community.

What Korea wants is not the Chongryon transformation of the Korean community in the United States, but to become a part of American society.

We can help you settle in America, but we don’t invest money to turn you into a dog that does whatever the Korean government wants.

‘Still, the Korean leader is a man of thought.’

‘I saw it again.’

This incident also made American society let its guard down a little.

If you look closely, this incident was a fight between Americans, so why did American society interpret this as a fight between Korea and the United States?

The tricks of media outlets that are busy selling off provocative titles,

Koreans of the third and fourth generations also made their position clear.

“We are clearly legally Americans. Of course, many Koreans still want to belong to Korea, but I think that is something that should be acknowledged in a democratic society. Do Koreans have to stick to the United States? There is no need to deny that Korea is our roots. That kind of openness will make Korean society, and even American society, more fluid.”

Many Americans nodded.

Just like the recent Colombian immigrant crisis, American society has become too rigid at some point.

Illegal immigrants should be dealt with decisively, but shouldn’t those who became Americans through legal procedures be accepted as members of society?

We know in our heads that it is an open society, but we still have a long way to go.

American society is still closed and has a tendency to stick together among itself.

Could it be that the Korean community serves as a lubricant for the rigid American society?

The number of people lending support to this argument has also increased.

***

“Some civic groups said that our society should protect the basic rights of criminals whose information need not to be opened to the public. but i have to disagree with the comments. It is not the rights of the assailants that are important.”

= Some civic groups argue that criminals’ activities should not be made public. But I disagree. What matters is not the rights of criminals.

This is America,

One man’s speech shook American society.

The main character of this speech is Park Sang-geun, who is the former commander of the AOPR and also the head of state of South Korea.

Trampled on the rights of criminals in fluent English.

Do the victims of mass shootings and their families want what they did to the perpetrators to remain unknown?

Why should society listen to such a selfish claim of hiding the fact that he cut someone’s stomach and only revealing to the public what happened to him?

Although he could have said it in Korean, Marshal Park Sang-geun chose English to convey his intentions directly to the Americans.

How could someone who negotiated with the US military government at the age of 18 not speak English?

Marshal Park Sang-geun demanded common norms from the world as a world leader, not as a head of state of Korea.

“I don’t want to divide the victims and perpetrators as clearly as if cutting them with a knife in this mass shooting. What is clear is that society must condemn things that cannot be tolerated. Neither cutting someone’s stomach nor shooting at a school are things that should be tolerated in society.

This incident was not a racial conflict, but rather a series of socially unacceptable and abnormal events.

Criminals’ rights? Does society benefit from protecting them?

I also have no intention of hiding what I have done so far. The massacre in Colombia? You can curse if you want, but I will not hide like some people and say I did nothing wrong. History will judge what I have done in the future.”

American society was silent.

Isn’t it too brazen to kill millions of people?

But at least he didn’t die while complaining about human rights like some criminals, and it is true that thanks to that decision, American society was liberated from drugs.

Who Destroyed the Drug Trafficking from Colombia to the United States?

Park Sang-geun, former commander-in-chief of AOPR, no one could deny that.
