In Jae-keun

In Jae-keun's story moves me more than almost any entry I have written. When her husband Kim Geun-tae was arrested and tortured under Chun Doo-hwan's regime, she chose to expose his detention to the world, an act of staggering courage against a military dictatorship. The 1987 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award she shared with him was global recognition of that fight. She later became a politician in her own right, carrying the democracy struggle into the halls of power. This is not celebrity glamour; it is the genuine article, and I find myself deeply humbled by it.
