Hwang Bo-Reum
“All this bullshit about workforce flexibility was a lie. It doesn't make sense to claim that companies hire contract workers for jobs that might be made obsolete, in order to make it easier to fire them in the future”
Hwang Bo-Reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

Youngmi Mayer
“As a Korean, when meeting a Korean adoptee, I feel a negative charge. It feels like rubbing the wrong parts of two batteries together, a painful repelling that is supposed to be an attraction. Korean adoptees have told me time and time again that they feel abandoned and neglected. But what they do not know is that Koreans also feel a longing for them - the longing for the lost child, the lost sibling, like when people look at the Taegeuk and see the dividing line and ignore the fact that a circle binds them together. A big reason I married Danny was because I needed to show him that we all missed him. I needed to accept him with the open arms denied me so many times by Koreans.”
Youngmi Mayer, I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying
