The Tale of Hong Gildong,HeoGyun
The story of Hong Gil-dong, which begins with the tragic phrase, "I can't call my father my father, I can't call my brother my brother," raises fundamental questions about what real justice is and what the world we dream of should look like through the life of a hero who suffered in the deep discrimination and inequality of the Joseon Dynasty.
Beyond just a hero's story, Hong Gil-dong's exhibition contains criticism and resistance to the unreasonable world, and a desire for an ideal society where everyone can enjoy equal happiness. I hope this video will serve as an opportunity to feel Hong Gil-dong's anguish and courage together and to rethink the various "discrimination" in our society.
