  • Follow @AmeriesBookClub on IG, and watch the conversation between me, Jihyun Park, and Seh-Lynn Chai here on UA-cam ( / amerieonyoutube ) February 28!
    THE HARD ROAD OUT is a harrowing read but also a hopeful one. From Jihyun Park’s recounting of her terrifying days in North Korea and her time as a trafficked human being in China, to Seh-Lynn’s exploration of her relationship to North Korea as a South Korean woman, this collaborative work is certainly momentous. It is not, however, solely important due to its first-hand accounting of life in North Korea, but rather to the idea Park and Chai pose: that the road to reunification rests not ultimately with the governments of North and South Korea, but in the hearts of the two nations’ peoples, and that perhaps therein lie the first steps.

    ABOUT JIHYUN PARK
    Jihyun Park was born in Chongjin, North Korea, in 1968. She experienced acute poverty, famine, illness, and intimidation. She first escaped at the age of 29. After her second escape from North Korea, with the help of the UN, she was granted asylum seeker status in 2008 and moved to Bury, Greater Manchester, where she lives with her husband Kwang and three children. She has been outreach and project officer at the European Alliance for Human Rights in North Korea and is a human rights activist.
    ABOUT SEH-LYNN CHAI
    Seh-Lynn Chai lives with her family in London but still spends considerable time in Seoul, where her parents reside. A South Korean diplomat’s daughter, Seh-lynn was born and raised from an early age in Korea, France and West Africa. Her first career was at JPMorgan before she became a writer. Seh-lynn has a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in French Literature from L'Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV). She finished her PhD coursework at New York University before completing an MBA at Columbia Business School in 1994.

    Thank you for speaking about our people.
    Off topic, but I want to suggest using a lavalier mic like Rode wireless Go, so you can get rid of some of the reverb in your audio.
    It will make a big difference to us viewers, especially for your beautiful voice.

    Sounds like a good read. I took an East Asian studies course some years ago at the university. When we got to Korea, it dawned on me how little I knew about the history/people. Public school barely teaches a tiny speck about Korea, and it is only the U.S. prospective.

    I watched documentaries on the lives of Koreans and I cried. It was painful. I learned to be more appreciative of my life and it humbled me a lot! I barely complain now! People make huge sacrifices to get to where I am . 💜 and I pray they receive all they are seeking 🙏🏾💜

    The world needs better leaders too much of the leaders are exalted as god over the people and regimes should not be able to take over a government or rule the government such as the situation the North Korean people are currently experiencing😉
