Not sure when the balloon launch is.

I know that the PSCORE event will have simultaneous translation and the screening of Crossing at Yonsei will have English subtitles. Not sure about the other events — some of them have, some of them haven’t had it.

Great work, Dan!! Excellent photographs and coverage! P. Jung shared that the family chose to create the cranes specifically because of the imagery of flight and escape, being, as they were, effectively trapped in their home. It’s quite evocative to imagine them huddled together silently folding birds and waiting for a miracle. (Thanks for the link to seouldreamers, too, btw. )

Does anybody know what the time the balloon launch will take place on May 1st?

On the schedule it just says â€œTBA.â€ Is this event open to the public? If so, where at Imjingak will it take place.

I also heard the ~~KWP sleeper cells~~ South Korean trade unions were inviting North Korean â€œunionistsâ€ to their annual labor day rallies. Have they been granted permission to do so by the Unification Ministry, and if they have, are there any plans to protest? I’d love to hurl some anti-KJI slogans at those dirty ë¹¨ê°±ì´

Looking at the post again now, I should have put a few more shots of the artwork itself up! Peter, understood — I know what you mean about life in Seoul. I’ll be at the PSCORE event Friday, see you there.

Dan,
Just wow! The art looks incredible. I am sorry to pull a disappearing act, life in Seoul is pretty crazy.. I will be at the conference on Friday though with Dailynk, will you be there?

By the way, there are two links there: “Kim Jong-il” and “art.”

Maybe my ten-year-old son, En-Uk, should display his Kim Jong-il art on the wall, too. Jeffery Hodges * * *
