Ask A North Korean Settling in Seoul: How a North Korean defector found a second family on ChuseokThe joy of the holiday mingles with sadness of family separation for those who can’t visit hometowns and loved ones
 “Settling in Seoul” is an NK News series in which North Korean defectors share their experiences adapting to life in South Korea.

Got a question for Joshua? Email it to [email protected] with your name and city. We’ll be publishing the best ones. The traditional autumn harvest festival of Chuseok is a big holiday in South Korea, and many of my friends and © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
