EBS History of Culture Series - Part 1
THE COUNT OF MYEONGDONG
4
00:00:06,492 --> 00:00:10,228
What they called the "Jang Myeon regime"
was the post-April 19 government,
5
00:00:09,521 --> 00:00:14,585
{\a6}~ Lee Wan Beom ~
(Academy of Korean Studies professor)
6
00:00:10,373 --> 00:00:13,388
which meant that they had to put
into fruition all the main issues...
7
00:00:13,503 --> 00:00:16,672
the April 19 movement had fought for.
8
00:00:16,792 --> 00:00:20,303
As you well know, the April 19
movement was a bonafide revolution...
9
00:00:20,404 --> 00:00:26,015
and in many ways a tentative
to overthrow the government...
10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,383
which began from mass riots.
11
00:00:29,492 --> 00:00:33,892
Inevitably, the government had to
fulfill at least some of the demands...
12
00:00:34,037 --> 00:00:37,413
put forth by the coalitions
which instigated this movement.
13
00:00:37,523 --> 00:00:40,333
Still, all that considered,
because the Jang Myeon government...
14
00:00:39,035 --> 00:00:44,372
{\a6}~ Park Tae Gyun ~
(SNU International Studies professor)
15
00:00:40,448 --> 00:00:45,238
was at the core a conservative regime,
expecting them to go through all the reforms...
16
00:00:45,339 --> 00:00:49,424
those citizen coalitions behind the
uprising asked for was rather far-fetched.
17
00:00:49,594 --> 00:00:53,262
As reunification theories were still
in their primordial stage at the time,
18
00:00:50,853 --> 00:00:55,902
{\a6}~ Hong Seok Ryul ~
(Seongshin Uni. History professor)
19
00:00:53,407 --> 00:00:58,571
they had special laws against demonstrations
and to support anti-communism,
20
00:00:58,744 --> 00:01:06,116
in many ways restricting the democratization
movement which led the April 19 uprising.
21
00:01:06,333 --> 00:01:11,256
Also, if you look at the "New School"
adherents of the Democratic Party,
22
00:01:07,721 --> 00:01:12,583
{\a6}~ Lee Yi Hwa (historian) ~
23
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:16,781
you'll see how they failed to bring into
fruition any reforms for the working class,
24
00:01:16,940 --> 00:01:22,898
or the long-debated war
against conglomerates.
25
00:01:23,041 --> 00:01:28,657
It was through those students'
sacrifices that they gained their posts,
26
00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:32,130
{\a6}~ Lee Man Seop ~
(former DongA Ilbo reporter)
27
00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:34,972
so, even if just to honor those
young souls who died for this cause,
28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,179
they should have acted on their behalf.
29
00:01:37,377 --> 00:01:42,927
But the Democratic Party split into "New"
and "Old" factions, and spent all day arguing.
30
00:01:43,504 --> 00:01:49,159
That is why, inevitably, all that
unrest from all walks of society,
31
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:58,430
those demonstrations and
controversies couldn't help but go on.
32
00:01:58,632 --> 00:02:06,149
Because of that situation,
according to rumors at the time,
33
00:02:06,299 --> 00:02:15,956
sources suggested the possibility
of another revolution in April or May.
34
00:02:18,278 --> 00:02:21,870
{\a6}~ Episode 23 ~
35
00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:22,294
During the year which passed between
April 19 (1960) and May 16 (1961),
36
00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:25,604
Kim Su Young attempted to
lead a very active social life.
37
00:02:25,724 --> 00:02:29,147
He wrote numerous poems, and every day
you would find him in Myeongdong,
38
00:02:29,248 --> 00:02:32,263
debating the morning away
with many different people.
39
00:02:32,465 --> 00:02:35,954
At first, I was disappointed
about post-April 19 myself.
40
00:02:36,158 --> 00:02:38,668
Revolution shouldn't concern itself
with the vestiges of the past,
41
00:02:38,769 --> 00:02:40,680
and should rather
march on with changes.
42
00:02:40,824 --> 00:02:43,031
But look at the conservative mores
shown by the Democratic Party.
43
00:02:43,161 --> 00:02:47,716
Neither Jang Myeon nor Kim Do Yeon
shows any reformist spirit.
44
00:02:47,878 --> 00:02:50,432
That's why only the regime changed,
45
00:02:50,547 --> 00:02:52,913
but nothing has improved in our society.
46
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:56,535
History evolves one step at a time,
47
00:02:56,650 --> 00:02:58,511
you can't just jump ahead of yourself.
48
00:02:58,656 --> 00:03:02,892
But of course you could take
huge steps forward all at once.
49
00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:04,888
That's what we call revolution.
50
00:03:05,306 --> 00:03:08,364
Were it not for the French revolution,
it would have taken the west...
51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,482
another few centuries for today's
modern society to materialize.
52
00:03:12,633 --> 00:03:15,914
Fine, then.
Let's take one step at a time.
53
00:03:16,133 --> 00:03:19,895
But we can't entrust all this
to Jang Myeon's regime alone.
54
00:03:20,069 --> 00:03:26,055
If everyone of us rights all
wrongs in our respective fields,
55
00:03:26,214 --> 00:03:31,410
just like helpless citizens and students
were responsible for April 19,
56
00:03:31,584 --> 00:03:36,695
our efforts might just lead us
to fulfill such huge steps forward.
57
00:03:37,035 --> 00:03:40,831
Wow... He suddenly starts
speaking, and look at him!
58
00:03:40,990 --> 00:03:45,030
He spends all day there,
with his passionate rhetoric.
59
00:03:45,676 --> 00:03:50,657
When Park In Hwan was still alive,
he'd spend a few nights and days that way.
60
00:03:51,666 --> 00:03:52,950
Ohh... right.
61
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:55,821
Heard about Park In Hwan's wife?
62
00:03:58,158 --> 00:04:00,792
People are talking
all over the place.
63
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:03,922
Of all places, why a room saloon?!
64
00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:07,774
We're going out for a drink.
65
00:04:08,466 --> 00:04:10,140
- Eunseong?!
- Care to join us?
66
00:04:10,342 --> 00:04:12,102
A bit later?!
67
00:04:12,263 --> 00:04:13,303
All right.
68
00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:15,991
Participation shouldn't scare you off.
69
00:04:16,078 --> 00:04:18,814
Living to the fullest,
that's participation.
70
00:04:22,075 --> 00:04:23,190
By the way, Lee Hyung.
71
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:26,696
Aren't Kim Su Young's poems
a tad over the top?
72
00:04:28,206 --> 00:04:30,245
Seeing what he publishes these days,
73
00:04:30,346 --> 00:04:33,317
more than poems, they feel
like some kind of propaganda.
74
00:04:34,587 --> 00:04:35,840
That's right.
75
00:04:36,259 --> 00:04:40,168
You see his poems, and...
Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark,
76
00:04:40,284 --> 00:04:42,419
if American actors like
them are mentioned,
77
00:04:42,592 --> 00:04:44,785
it's always next to things
like "thief, gangster, pimp."
78
00:04:44,943 --> 00:04:47,909
How can a poem
be so harsh and vulgar?
79
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:51,620
These days, Kim Su Young's poems...
80
00:04:51,739 --> 00:04:56,489
seem to aim for a frank portrayal of
all the problems afflicting our society.
81
00:04:56,629 --> 00:05:00,350
That's exactly the kind of social
participation he champions.
82
00:05:00,890 --> 00:05:03,779
Then again, we live in freedom now!
83
00:05:44,401 --> 00:05:46,639
We're still not open.
84
00:05:47,015 --> 00:05:49,900
Jeong Suk, it's me.
85
00:05:53,449 --> 00:05:55,052
Are you busy?
86
00:05:55,502 --> 00:05:59,438
~ Lee Jeong Suk ~
(Park In Hwan's wife)
87
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:01,919
I bet that everyone
is talking about it,
88
00:06:02,106 --> 00:06:06,164
Park In Hwan's widow
working at a room saloon.
89
00:06:06,264 --> 00:06:08,036
Jeong Suk.
90
00:06:08,685 --> 00:06:12,838
Some people even come here,
order a drink,
91
00:06:13,007 --> 00:06:18,283
and keep staring at me
until they leave.
92
00:06:19,488 --> 00:06:21,616
But, what else can I do?
93
00:06:22,164 --> 00:06:24,587
The kids and I need to go on living.
94
00:06:25,453 --> 00:06:28,165
I didn't come here for that.
95
00:06:29,061 --> 00:06:30,417
I'm sorry.
96
00:06:30,605 --> 00:06:33,533
We should be helping you
at least a little.
97
00:06:34,472 --> 00:06:37,197
Everyone is having it hard,
what can you do?!
98
00:06:37,832 --> 00:06:40,227
There is no need to help me,
99
00:06:40,559 --> 00:06:44,079
I'd just like to be left alone.
100
00:06:44,266 --> 00:06:46,614
That fool...
101
00:06:46,932 --> 00:06:50,177
How could he leave us all so early?!
102
00:06:51,565 --> 00:06:55,948
If he was still alive,
I'd be struggling even more.
103
00:06:57,436 --> 00:07:03,041
At least I'm making some money,
so the kids won't starve.
104
00:07:04,094 --> 00:07:06,287
I guess...
105
00:07:07,602 --> 00:07:09,865
How are you doing these days?
106
00:07:10,168 --> 00:07:13,673
I heard that you quit
working for the newspaper.
107
00:07:14,153 --> 00:07:18,344
Yes... I make a few pennies
scribbling this and that.
108
00:07:18,546 --> 00:07:23,436
Now that I think about it,
it's quite peculiar.
109
00:07:24,723 --> 00:07:27,476
How you've all been living...
110
00:07:41,655 --> 00:07:43,456
Yes...
111
00:07:47,903 --> 00:07:50,206
Do you drink?
112
00:07:51,886 --> 00:07:56,578
After he crumbled away like that,
113
00:07:56,981 --> 00:07:59,968
I was so angry that I started drinking.
114
00:08:00,588 --> 00:08:05,767
I wondered what it was about
drinking that made him so crazy,
115
00:08:06,099 --> 00:08:08,090
I was just curious.
116
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:10,382
It's just bitter.
117
00:08:11,417 --> 00:08:13,682
It's not all that bad.
118
00:08:16,492 --> 00:08:22,236
If you get drunk, then the world
starts looking like a decent place.
119
00:08:23,261 --> 00:08:26,665
And the pain is much easier to endure.
120
00:08:28,476 --> 00:08:30,171
So...
121
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:35,768
that must be the reason
why he loved drinking so much.
122
00:08:42,541 --> 00:08:44,987
What on earth...
123
00:08:46,761 --> 00:08:49,920
could have afflicted him so much?
124
00:08:51,993 --> 00:08:56,355
I still can't understand it.
125
00:08:58,158 --> 00:09:00,784
What was so painful...
126
00:09:03,391 --> 00:09:08,094
that he needed to
abandon his life for a bottle?
127
00:09:32,128 --> 00:09:34,797
It's Johnny Walker, In Hwan.
128
00:09:35,911 --> 00:09:39,539
Your favorite, Johnny Walker.
129
00:09:41,617 --> 00:09:43,752
Why did he...
130
00:09:44,127 --> 00:09:46,724
drink his life away?!
131
00:10:00,143 --> 00:10:01,844
In Hwan...
132
00:10:02,954 --> 00:10:05,039
Coming home...
133
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,851
puking it all out the entire night.
134
00:10:10,396 --> 00:10:11,910
Drink.
135
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:21,647
Drink all you want,
and then you can go.
136
00:10:22,917 --> 00:10:25,414
If you'd always end up puking it out,
137
00:10:25,544 --> 00:10:29,641
why even drink so much?!
138
00:10:57,513 --> 00:11:00,923
"She's a beautiful woman
with opulent shoulders."
139
00:11:01,082 --> 00:11:04,458
"Who lets her long hair
trail in her goblet of wine."
140
00:11:04,833 --> 00:11:08,555
"The claws of love,
the poisons of brothels."
141
00:11:08,670 --> 00:11:11,988
"All slip and all are blunted
on her granite skin."
142
00:11:12,493 --> 00:11:16,548
"She laughs at Death and snaps
her fingers at Debauch."
143
00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:21,249
"The hands of those monsters,
ever cutting and scraping."
144
00:11:21,422 --> 00:11:24,495
"Have respected nonetheless
the pristine majesty..."
145
00:11:24,697 --> 00:11:28,766
"Of her firm, straight body
at its destructive games."
146
00:11:31,051 --> 00:11:37,907
"She walks like a goddess,
rests like a sultana."
147
00:12:16,194 --> 00:12:18,473
In Hwan, forgive me.
148
00:12:19,719 --> 00:12:21,705
I'm sorry...
149
00:12:33,362 --> 00:12:35,396
What is the meaning of April 19?
150
00:12:35,540 --> 00:12:39,334
It's something which cannot be
separated from our unification.
151
00:12:39,521 --> 00:12:43,445
Therein lies the glory of April 19.
152
00:12:43,604 --> 00:12:46,619
Back then, there was
neither south nor north,
153
00:12:46,749 --> 00:12:49,807
we feared no Soviets or Americans.
154
00:12:51,986 --> 00:12:56,761
All those starving people in rags
never looked beautiful to my eyes.
155
00:12:57,309 --> 00:13:02,058
Nary a shred of falsehood
invaded my body.
156
00:13:02,275 --> 00:13:07,944
That is why my entire body
represented my own tenet and freedom.
157
00:13:08,146 --> 00:13:11,652
Su Young, stop prattling
all that nonsense.
158
00:13:11,753 --> 00:13:16,239
What could April 19 and the
unification possibly have in common?!
159
00:13:17,616 --> 00:13:20,279
That is what April left us.
160
00:13:20,423 --> 00:13:24,689
The south was reborn in April,
161
00:13:24,838 --> 00:13:28,059
and the heat of that April
is still burning us all.
162
00:13:28,179 --> 00:13:31,401
Scorching, roaring its
flames inside our souls.
163
00:13:31,632 --> 00:13:35,513
That is why even the north
must feel our ardent wishes.
164
00:13:35,740 --> 00:13:40,014
Politics, doctrine and whatnot,
the hell with all that!
165
00:13:41,370 --> 00:13:44,602
If we take our people's ardent
wishes from that burning April,
166
00:13:44,731 --> 00:13:46,780
our compatriots' power!
167
00:13:47,270 --> 00:13:50,848
If we lean onto that power
and north and south unify,
168
00:13:51,036 --> 00:13:55,176
we shall be able to achieve our wishes
thanks to that very passion!
169
00:13:55,263 --> 00:13:57,542
Ehh... really,
I can't take this anymore.
170
00:13:57,643 --> 00:14:00,586
Here here... Don't pay
attention to him and just drink.
171
00:14:00,846 --> 00:14:03,284
What third-rate philosophy...
172
00:14:04,827 --> 00:14:11,608
After that April, I deeply reflected
upon the meaning of poetry.
173
00:14:11,955 --> 00:14:17,537
It is something I always reflect on,
but I just took it to a deeper level.
174
00:14:17,696 --> 00:14:21,605
Will we need poems
even after unification?
175
00:14:22,009 --> 00:14:25,342
The answer is, we will
need them even more.
176
00:14:25,543 --> 00:14:30,477
Even if only to write better poetry,
we must achieve this unification!
177
00:14:31,267 --> 00:14:34,921
I certainly can't say
how poetry will change,
178
00:14:35,079 --> 00:14:37,993
once we have achieved
complete spiritual freedom,
179
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:42,480
but it will likely
become world-renowned,
180
00:14:42,682 --> 00:14:48,453
and contribute to world
peace and prosperity.
181
00:14:48,626 --> 00:14:55,168
Also, mendacious poetry
will increasingly cease to exist,
182
00:14:55,288 --> 00:14:59,719
and more true poets will emerge.
183
00:15:00,219 --> 00:15:03,009
Is that Kim Su Young's
revolutionary manifesto?!
184
00:15:03,254 --> 00:15:03,975
Im Hyung!
185
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,020
Why don't you go invite Castro to
come here and act as our president?!
186
00:15:09,301 --> 00:15:12,601
There might be only one Castro in Cuba,
187
00:15:12,731 --> 00:15:17,103
but we have nearly twenty million
youths blessed with purity.
188
00:15:17,535 --> 00:15:21,373
They are the protagonists
of our glorious April revolution!
189
00:15:21,575 --> 00:15:25,042
Not old farts like ourselves.
190
00:15:25,132 --> 00:15:28,422
So... are you free from blemishes?!
191
00:15:28,532 --> 00:15:29,639
What's wrong with you, Im Hyung?
192
00:15:29,711 --> 00:15:30,562
Are you drunk?
193
00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:35,092
Ahh... He keeps acting all
holier-than-thou, that's why!
194
00:15:35,612 --> 00:15:36,881
Let's go!
195
00:15:37,198 --> 00:15:40,863
Let us go, and as
we gaze at the starry night,
196
00:15:40,978 --> 00:15:44,194
let us converse about
poetry and reunification!
197
00:15:45,084 --> 00:15:46,019
Madam Lee...
198
00:15:46,106 --> 00:15:47,314
I'll pay you tomorrow.
199
00:15:47,414 --> 00:15:48,734
Yes, all right.
200
00:15:48,894 --> 00:15:50,852
Since we're there,
201
00:15:50,982 --> 00:15:52,569
give me a few more bottles, will you?
202
00:15:52,699 --> 00:15:54,459
Aigoo...
203
00:15:55,584 --> 00:15:58,311
As for these, I'll pay
when we're reunified.
204
00:15:58,455 --> 00:16:00,868
If that happens,
think I'd worry about your tab?
205
00:16:01,012 --> 00:16:03,970
Aigoo... then, how about
some side dishes on top?
206
00:16:04,056 --> 00:16:05,499
Indeed.
207
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:10,332
Is this enough?
208
00:16:11,341 --> 00:16:13,806
Thank you!
209
00:16:16,787 --> 00:16:18,471
Be careful out there.
210
00:16:19,367 --> 00:16:22,669
The April revolution is a poem!
211
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:26,449
You shouldn't write your poems
on a piece of paper,
212
00:16:26,593 --> 00:16:29,074
your actions should write them!
213
00:16:29,390 --> 00:16:31,511
What on earth is poetry?
214
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,251
Is it the kind of prostitution which
covers the miserable clouds of life...
215
00:16:34,424 --> 00:16:37,670
with syrupy and mendacious prose?!
216
00:16:38,293 --> 00:16:40,712
Then, what is true poetry?
217
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:43,512
Nothing more than the blood you shed!
218
00:16:43,743 --> 00:16:48,455
The blood which drenched the
streets of the April revolution.
219
00:16:48,614 --> 00:16:50,733
That is real poetry.
220
00:16:50,853 --> 00:16:55,048
Real poetry is about pushing
forward with your entire body.
221
00:16:55,221 --> 00:16:56,418
All at once!
222
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:58,184
At once!
223
00:17:03,914 --> 00:17:06,906
Pushing forward with
your entire body at once.
224
00:17:07,224 --> 00:17:11,018
That is what Kim Su Young
saw as real poetry.
225
00:17:11,266 --> 00:17:15,626
He thought that what those
students on April 19 did was poetry.
226
00:17:15,923 --> 00:17:21,246
That is, manifesting the equivalent
of freedom with their actions.
227
00:17:21,736 --> 00:17:26,441
And he was thinking of himself as
someone who took the torch from them.
228
00:17:26,917 --> 00:17:32,211
That is why, from that moment on, Kim
abandoned his writing technique and patterns,
229
00:17:32,341 --> 00:17:36,109
and started emphasizing the kind of poetry
which pushed forward with courage.
230
00:17:36,220 --> 00:17:41,010
To achieve that, forming a connection
between poetry and freedom was needed,
231
00:17:41,230 --> 00:17:43,650
and love became that trait d'union.
232
00:17:44,851 --> 00:17:50,170
Here is what Kim Su Young wrote,
about the connection between love and freedom.
233
00:17:51,411 --> 00:17:54,422
"Love is like a breath."
234
00:17:54,622 --> 00:17:57,939
"Invisible to the eye."
235
00:17:58,472 --> 00:18:01,275
"When conveyed through actions,"
236
00:18:01,474 --> 00:18:07,951
"It is not easily torn apart,
in today's complicated society."
237
00:18:08,744 --> 00:18:12,198
"The more candid love is,
the harder it is to see its warm lights."
238
00:18:12,674 --> 00:18:14,593
"Like eyes blind to a solemn prayer,"
239
00:18:14,766 --> 00:18:17,565
"Love cannot be seen."
240
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:22,672
"That is why the line between
freedom and self indulgence..."
241
00:18:22,845 --> 00:18:25,398
"Is like the misty morn confounding
water with the horizon."
242
00:18:26,709 --> 00:18:31,180
"The majority of souls walking on
this soil without a loved one..."
243
00:18:31,439 --> 00:18:39,547
"Call that invisible dream
of freedom self-indulgence."
244
00:18:40,239 --> 00:18:44,654
"There can be no freedom
in that kind of society."
245
00:18:48,534 --> 00:18:56,397
"Two youths crossed the Taedong River,
Lee Su Il and Shim Soon Ae their names."
246
00:18:57,026 --> 00:19:01,360
"Women marry for the money,
men for just a comely visage,"
247
00:19:01,518 --> 00:19:08,313
"But who knew such true love
could still bloom amidst the darkness?"
248
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:11,948
"Su Il! Su Il!
Forgive me just once!"
249
00:19:12,035 --> 00:19:14,574
"You wench, let me go!
My clothes will tear!"
250
00:19:14,646 --> 00:19:19,256
We really loved the period
between April 19 and May 16.
251
00:19:18,202 --> 00:19:22,617
{\a6}~ Kim Hyun Gyeong ~
(Kim Su Young's wife)
252
00:19:19,371 --> 00:19:24,622
Poets could write freely,
253
00:19:24,795 --> 00:19:30,240
and back then there were
plenty of really fascinating poems...
254
00:19:30,399 --> 00:19:33,760
about Lee Seung Man.
255
00:19:33,933 --> 00:19:37,004
They were all really explicit,
saying things like...
256
00:19:37,694 --> 00:19:41,404
"Let's take the cowboys' photos
and use them as toilet paper."
257
00:19:41,534 --> 00:19:46,626
They had the freedom to write like that.
258
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:54,142
But just a year later May 16
happened, and then it all changed.
259
00:19:54,286 --> 00:20:03,231
We feared that dictatorship would return,
and we'd have to start hiding again.
260
00:20:03,476 --> 00:20:06,188
So we had to be careful back then.
261
00:20:07,304 --> 00:20:09,878
- Aigoo, Sajangnim! Nice to see you...
- Yes.
262
00:20:09,944 --> 00:20:10,968
Here, this way.
263
00:20:11,098 --> 00:20:13,132
Aigoo... nice to see you.
264
00:20:13,233 --> 00:20:15,539
- Aigoo... Aigoo...
- Sajangnim.
265
00:20:16,291 --> 00:20:18,989
I really liked your film.
266
00:20:19,162 --> 00:20:22,422
Everyone in the theater was crying.
267
00:20:22,523 --> 00:20:24,297
Is that so?
268
00:20:24,484 --> 00:20:25,726
What was it again...
269
00:20:25,855 --> 00:20:29,332
That scene where
Kim Seung Ho carries the coach...
270
00:20:29,444 --> 00:20:34,511
all the way to the Colonial Building
to see the exam results, you know?
271
00:20:34,670 --> 00:20:37,628
The moment when you see Shin Young Gyun
notice his name written on the board,
272
00:20:37,729 --> 00:20:41,375
and father and son hug each other
all happy and crying,
273
00:20:41,495 --> 00:20:44,120
eventually slipping
on the frozen concrete.
274
00:20:44,293 --> 00:20:48,535
I was in tears for the entire scene!
275
00:20:49,617 --> 00:20:51,887
Isn't that just a cliche?!
276
00:20:51,998 --> 00:20:54,958
Why, if the protagonist hadn't passed
the exam, would the movie go on?!
277
00:20:55,258 --> 00:20:57,692
- Isn't that right, Sajangnim?
- Yes, yes, certainly.
278
00:20:57,793 --> 00:20:59,063
You made good money, didn't you?
279
00:20:59,236 --> 00:21:02,222
Hey... Is money the issue here?
280
00:21:02,366 --> 00:21:06,795
The fact that he brought tears
to 30 million people is what counts.
281
00:21:06,970 --> 00:21:09,750
Indeed, indeed!
282
00:21:10,250 --> 00:21:12,559
It was a wise decision, Sajangnim.
283
00:21:12,660 --> 00:21:15,718
These days, you won't
make a living with these.
284
00:21:15,819 --> 00:21:17,017
You...
285
00:21:17,253 --> 00:21:19,763
When did he ever use "these"?!
286
00:21:19,873 --> 00:21:21,547
Lee Sajang is no hoodlum!
287
00:21:21,705 --> 00:21:23,941
No, I'm a hoodlum indeed.
288
00:21:24,129 --> 00:21:25,583
You're no hoodlum!
289
00:21:25,684 --> 00:21:27,274
He sure is!
290
00:21:27,373 --> 00:21:30,114
Wasn't "Pyeongyang Headbutt"
his nickname?!
291
00:21:30,233 --> 00:21:31,242
Hey... listen,
292
00:21:31,357 --> 00:21:35,584
why would someone
like him... headbutt?!
293
00:21:36,103 --> 00:21:37,531
Here. Have a nice day.
294
00:21:37,618 --> 00:21:39,126
Yes.
295
00:21:39,486 --> 00:21:42,732
- Have a nice day.
- See you again.
296
00:21:45,762 --> 00:21:48,661
Our Lee Hwa Ryong Sajangnim...
297
00:21:48,777 --> 00:21:50,923
is really a special man.
298
00:21:51,053 --> 00:21:54,993
Ehh... He barely made it out
of the lion's mouth in time.
299
00:21:55,108 --> 00:21:56,145
Lion what?!
300
00:21:56,232 --> 00:21:58,136
They caught all the hoodlums already.
301
00:21:58,223 --> 00:22:00,992
Lee Jung Jae, Im Hwa Soo,
Yoo Ji Gwang.
302
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:02,630
But everyone says
they'll be released soon.
303
00:22:02,731 --> 00:22:04,058
They probably will.
304
00:22:04,202 --> 00:22:06,294
Think they wouldn't
have the money for that?!
305
00:22:06,467 --> 00:22:08,140
Money alone can't do that!
306
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:09,958
If only for all the poor students
who died on the streets,
307
00:22:10,045 --> 00:22:12,872
they should all execute them!
308
00:22:13,089 --> 00:22:15,195
What Yoon said is right.
309
00:22:15,354 --> 00:22:18,323
If you have the money,
these days you can bring back the dead.
310
00:22:18,432 --> 00:22:21,352
Is money all you care about?
311
00:22:21,496 --> 00:22:24,901
If a thunderbolt made of money
hit me, I'd wait with open arms.
312
00:22:25,265 --> 00:22:29,113
The hell with the thunderbolt
of money, get this first!
313
00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:30,737
Ahh... that wench...
314
00:22:30,846 --> 00:22:31,994
Wench?!
315
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,999
I wore these for the first time today,
316
00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:35,615
and you hit me with water?!
317
00:22:35,716 --> 00:22:38,096
Just be glad it wasn't a barrel of shit!
318
00:22:38,154 --> 00:22:41,067
I knew this would happen,
I couldn't sleep all night!
319
00:22:41,157 --> 00:22:42,267
Give it to me!
320
00:22:42,641 --> 00:22:43,318
What?
321
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:44,488
My money!
322
00:22:44,598 --> 00:22:45,408
Ahh... that!
323
00:22:45,498 --> 00:22:48,180
Stop prattling,
and give me my money back!
324
00:22:48,324 --> 00:22:50,586
What money is that?
325
00:22:52,420 --> 00:22:54,900
Last time he said you'd make
a fortune in the stock market...
326
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,321
and ripped me off big time,
but this time he brings up the bonds,
327
00:22:59,424 --> 00:23:02,180
and all those bills turned into
pocket money in a matter of days!
328
00:23:02,274 --> 00:23:05,641
I told you not to buy bonds
and to just get dollars!
329
00:23:05,744 --> 00:23:08,991
Whenever there's a crisis,
inflation makes buying power drop.
330
00:23:09,069 --> 00:23:13,301
You told me to buy bonds,
when did you ever mention dollars?!
331
00:23:13,424 --> 00:23:15,671
All I did was buying bonds for you.
332
00:23:15,793 --> 00:23:16,666
Where are you going?
333
00:23:16,742 --> 00:23:20,118
Go ask the cops,
whether I've done anything wrong.
334
00:23:20,532 --> 00:23:23,073
Shouldn't you at least
give me back that commission?
335
00:23:23,193 --> 00:23:27,011
If you don't give it back now,
I'll report you to the police!
336
00:23:27,829 --> 00:23:28,964
As you wish!
337
00:23:29,362 --> 00:23:31,126
Say what?
338
00:23:31,916 --> 00:23:34,121
Fine. Think I was just joking?
339
00:23:34,177 --> 00:23:35,426
Give it a rest.
340
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,086
Why should I?
341
00:23:38,176 --> 00:23:39,590
What did I tell you?
342
00:23:39,712 --> 00:23:43,333
If you try to make easy money,
you'll lose all you have.
343
00:23:45,581 --> 00:23:48,177
Know what money that was?
344
00:23:48,418 --> 00:23:53,152
It was money I saved in secret
to send the kids to college.
345
00:23:53,330 --> 00:23:56,740
{\a6}*Same meaning as the male version,
but this time female to female
346
00:23:53,330 --> 00:23:56,740
Hyungnim*...
347
00:23:56,830 --> 00:23:58,691
Don't blame anyone.
348
00:23:58,811 --> 00:24:01,893
It was your greed
which made you lose that money.
349
00:24:06,212 --> 00:24:07,944
I'll just go to the police station.
350
00:24:08,043 --> 00:24:09,064
Hyungnim!
351
00:24:09,184 --> 00:24:11,225
Police? What police?!
352
00:24:11,326 --> 00:24:14,004
You two see each other every day.
353
00:24:14,916 --> 00:24:17,841
Is he even human?!
354
00:24:19,007 --> 00:24:20,716
Just forget it.
355
00:24:20,816 --> 00:24:22,938
Didn't you know what
kind of person he is?
356
00:24:23,277 --> 00:24:26,558
If you go there, you'll lose your
money, friendship and your mind,
357
00:24:26,658 --> 00:24:28,209
you'll lose everything.
358
00:24:29,337 --> 00:24:31,039
Just forget about it.
359
00:24:50,110 --> 00:24:51,230
Sajangnim.
360
00:24:51,390 --> 00:24:52,359
What?
361
00:24:52,721 --> 00:24:54,908
I was ordered not to let you in.
362
00:24:55,382 --> 00:24:56,657
By whom?
363
00:24:59,355 --> 00:25:02,743
Ohh Ohh...
Who ordered you to do that?
364
00:25:04,994 --> 00:25:06,719
It was me, Aunim.
365
00:25:07,698 --> 00:25:09,525
Find refuge.
366
00:25:10,498 --> 00:25:11,979
Who is inside?
367
00:25:12,421 --> 00:25:14,951
Boss Shin just stubbornly...
368
00:25:19,992 --> 00:25:22,923
I said don't go in, Aunim!
369
00:25:29,814 --> 00:25:31,184
Ohh...
370
00:25:33,083 --> 00:25:34,485
You...
371
00:25:35,484 --> 00:25:37,645
said you wanted to run a film
business in the provinces?
372
00:25:37,823 --> 00:25:38,717
Yes.
373
00:25:38,999 --> 00:25:41,005
That won't be easy.
374
00:25:41,225 --> 00:25:42,510
If you lend me a hand...
375
00:25:42,623 --> 00:25:45,482
Don't waste time with that,
and just take over Myeongdong.
376
00:25:45,971 --> 00:25:46,977
What?
377
00:25:47,636 --> 00:25:50,663
For the time being, put the boys
together from behind the scenes.
378
00:25:51,906 --> 00:25:53,755
But you're still here...
379
00:25:55,429 --> 00:25:57,864
I'm a film producer!
380
00:25:58,376 --> 00:26:00,761
So you'll take your
hands off Myeongdong?
381
00:26:04,724 --> 00:26:06,680
Every ebb has its flow.
382
00:26:07,564 --> 00:26:11,138
Even Lee Seung Man was disgraced
after ten years in power,
383
00:26:11,401 --> 00:26:13,788
how could hoodlums be any different?
384
00:26:14,028 --> 00:26:15,410
Thank you.
385
00:26:15,790 --> 00:26:17,122
Boss Shin.
386
00:26:17,705 --> 00:26:19,341
Yes, Sajangnim.
387
00:26:20,066 --> 00:26:23,460
You know that Myeongdong
is different, right?
388
00:26:26,851 --> 00:26:29,169
You must be good to all those artists.
389
00:26:29,263 --> 00:26:33,908
They all live a honest and simple life.
390
00:26:34,372 --> 00:26:35,687
Yes, Sajangnim.
391
00:26:37,311 --> 00:26:39,439
Take good care of my boys as well.
392
00:26:39,582 --> 00:26:40,624
Yes.
393
00:26:51,252 --> 00:26:54,147
Looks like my time to
join them has come.
394
00:26:56,153 --> 00:26:57,351
Join them where?
395
00:26:57,502 --> 00:26:58,931
Where do you think?
396
00:26:59,603 --> 00:27:01,358
The penitentiary in Seodaemun.
397
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,649
Aren't Lee Jung Jae and
everyone else already there?
398
00:27:06,576 --> 00:27:08,344
But if it's you...
399
00:27:08,711 --> 00:27:13,102
Isn't the Democratic Party
having it hard on top?!
400
00:27:13,272 --> 00:27:15,068
Whenever there's a political crisis,
401
00:27:15,275 --> 00:27:18,098
hoodlums are the first to lose out.
402
00:27:18,211 --> 00:27:21,493
And there also must be quite
the few people complaining...
403
00:27:21,568 --> 00:27:23,778
that Lee Hwa Ryong is still
prancing out there in freedom.
404
00:27:23,995 --> 00:27:25,617
So, I guess...
405
00:27:26,209 --> 00:27:28,577
they'll come for me soon enough.
406
00:27:37,383 --> 00:27:39,476
It's just ten years.
407
00:27:39,586 --> 00:27:41,850
Politicians, hoodlums...
408
00:27:43,776 --> 00:27:47,013
Don't think you'll
escape from that fate, either.
409
00:28:20,190 --> 00:28:22,997
He will take good
care of you, Boss Shin.
410
00:28:25,151 --> 00:28:27,126
Are you leaving it all to him?!
411
00:28:28,972 --> 00:28:32,272
Hyungnim, you follow me.
412
00:28:35,338 --> 00:28:40,304
Can you still go around being
called a hoodlum at your age?!
413
00:28:41,423 --> 00:28:42,805
Let's go.
414
00:28:54,676 --> 00:28:56,868
Don't let it put you down, you fools!
415
00:28:57,432 --> 00:29:02,209
You worked for "Pyeongyang
Headbutt" Lee Hwa Ryong!
416
00:29:02,303 --> 00:29:03,639
Is that clear?
417
00:29:07,225 --> 00:29:09,946
You fools...
418
00:29:13,378 --> 00:29:17,730
After Lee Hwa Ryong was moved to
the Seodaemun Penitentiary in November,
419
00:29:17,852 --> 00:29:21,746
Boss Shin took over
Myeongdong's reigns from him.
420
00:29:21,943 --> 00:29:24,567
Also, in 1975,
421
00:29:24,671 --> 00:29:27,899
the so-called "Savoy
Hotel Raid" took place.
422
00:29:28,068 --> 00:29:31,820
Boss Jo Yang Eun of the Southern White
Tigers gang attacked Boss Shin,
423
00:29:31,999 --> 00:29:36,043
and not only was this the first instance of
metallic weapons like sashimi knives appearing,
424
00:29:36,231 --> 00:29:38,928
it also put an end to the
romanticism and code of honor...
425
00:29:38,994 --> 00:29:42,631
so characteristic of
gang wars of the period.
426
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:49,913
The gangs controlling Seoul's "red-light"
districts had thus completely changed.
427
00:29:50,063 --> 00:29:54,122
With their crimes,
threats and even murders,
428
00:29:54,294 --> 00:29:59,095
they were no different from the gangs
which graced many a Hollywood film.
429
00:30:32,592 --> 00:30:35,134
The man who reigned over Myeongdong
without ever using his fists,
430
00:30:35,191 --> 00:30:36,611
Lee Hwa Ryong.
431
00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:39,526
The man who deeply respected
and secretly supported artists,
432
00:30:39,582 --> 00:30:40,894
Lee Hwa Ryong.
433
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:45,602
He has now become the talk of legends.
434
00:30:53,784 --> 00:30:55,574
Ohh... I was just looking for you.
435
00:30:55,674 --> 00:30:57,273
Go in the back a moment.
436
00:30:57,621 --> 00:30:58,454
What's wrong?
437
00:30:58,533 --> 00:31:00,234
People from the village
council are here.
438
00:31:00,354 --> 00:31:03,480
Why is it so complicated to
get a permit for a single bathtub?!
439
00:31:03,744 --> 00:31:06,034
Ahh... Again with that?!
440
00:31:06,135 --> 00:31:07,475
Hey... Hey!
441
00:31:07,584 --> 00:31:10,144
Don't raise your voice, keep it quiet.
442
00:31:10,604 --> 00:31:12,759
I told you it won't work that way!
443
00:31:12,925 --> 00:31:16,853
We'll forget about the room
and just build a bathtub.
444
00:31:16,945 --> 00:31:19,580
Let alone a bathtub, you're not
even allowed to erect a lamppost!
445
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:21,150
You're really something.
446
00:31:21,216 --> 00:31:23,326
As if we were trying to build
some luxurious estate.
447
00:31:23,436 --> 00:31:25,599
If you start giving people an inch
that way, they'll take the entire foot!
448
00:31:25,693 --> 00:31:28,481
Then, are we supposed
to live without bathing?!
449
00:31:28,603 --> 00:31:30,055
That's your problem.
450
00:31:30,155 --> 00:31:32,186
Her problem?!
451
00:31:34,576 --> 00:31:36,362
Just stay put.
452
00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:38,938
Wasn't talking to her like that
a little uncalled for?!
453
00:31:39,098 --> 00:31:40,606
Dear!
454
00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:42,634
Who on earth are you?
455
00:31:42,765 --> 00:31:44,119
A volunteer or something?
456
00:31:44,373 --> 00:31:45,342
Say what?
457
00:31:45,540 --> 00:31:49,498
Are you one of those who volunteer to
work for free at the village council?
458
00:31:49,608 --> 00:31:51,428
How can you talk like that?
459
00:31:51,528 --> 00:31:53,827
You're not getting
paid to do this, are you?!
460
00:31:53,949 --> 00:31:54,833
So?!
461
00:31:54,937 --> 00:31:56,949
So you should at least
be kind to the villagers!
462
00:31:57,034 --> 00:32:00,254
Doesn't being a public servant
imply you should serve our needs?
463
00:32:00,649 --> 00:32:02,379
Ahh... Listen to this one...
464
00:32:02,509 --> 00:32:04,288
You can't build anything
without a permit,
465
00:32:04,398 --> 00:32:06,310
why are you bringing up
public servants now?!
466
00:32:06,579 --> 00:32:07,683
So we need a permit?
467
00:32:07,852 --> 00:32:10,038
Yes, that's the law.
468
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:12,982
Tell us, then.
How we can get that.
469
00:32:13,114 --> 00:32:14,252
Come to the council.
470
00:32:14,364 --> 00:32:16,076
They'll tell you
everything in detail there.
471
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,810
Just stay here. I'll go.
472
00:32:23,121 --> 00:32:25,473
Don't take it personal, Ajeosshi.
473
00:32:25,595 --> 00:32:27,447
It's just that my husband is a poet.
474
00:32:27,523 --> 00:32:31,745
He writes poems all day, so he has little
sense of how things go out here. Ajeosshi.
475
00:32:31,841 --> 00:32:34,041
Give it a rest with
that "Ajeosshi," will you?
476
00:32:34,132 --> 00:32:37,201
How old am I,
to be called like that?!
477
00:32:37,441 --> 00:32:40,847
Aigoo... are you
still a bachelor, then?
478
00:32:42,333 --> 00:32:43,123
Wait...
479
00:32:43,207 --> 00:32:44,723
Wait a moment.
480
00:32:44,813 --> 00:32:46,113
Listen to me just a moment.
481
00:32:46,223 --> 00:32:48,123
I said calm down.
482
00:32:52,494 --> 00:32:55,480
Still, things are
much better these days.
483
00:32:56,044 --> 00:32:59,874
Could you even complain at city hall
when the Liberal Party was on top?
484
00:32:59,994 --> 00:33:02,971
You at least can say something now,
it's better all right.
485
00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:05,962
Oppa, should I
ask my colleagues at work?
486
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:09,246
- If I ask the current affairs reporters...
- Don't give me that nonsense!
487
00:33:09,404 --> 00:33:12,265
Will the newspaper get
Kim Su Young's bathtub done?!
488
00:33:12,385 --> 00:33:14,286
Aigoo...
why are you screaming like that?
489
00:33:14,386 --> 00:33:16,516
She only said that because
she's just as upset as you are.
490
00:33:16,616 --> 00:33:19,136
With public servants like those...
491
00:33:25,218 --> 00:33:27,062
Did it go well, Eonni?
492
00:33:27,683 --> 00:33:29,395
Will he give us the permit?
493
00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:31,087
Yes.
494
00:33:31,285 --> 00:33:33,470
That's good to hear.
495
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,290
It went all according to plan,
what's with that look?
496
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,390
We better wait until
next year for that bathtub.
497
00:33:44,535 --> 00:33:45,430
Why?
498
00:33:45,980 --> 00:33:50,184
To get the permit,
it will take 25,000 won.
499
00:33:50,344 --> 00:33:51,369
What?
500
00:33:51,812 --> 00:33:53,306
25,000 won?!
501
00:33:53,541 --> 00:33:55,770
I asked him for a little discount...
502
00:33:56,292 --> 00:33:58,353
Where are you going?
503
00:34:00,670 --> 00:34:02,476
Hey... follow him.
504
00:34:02,532 --> 00:34:04,677
What if he raises a ruckus again?
505
00:34:05,241 --> 00:34:07,353
Will he stop if I tell him?
506
00:34:08,926 --> 00:34:13,525
You know how he picks up a fight
for the smallest things, these days?
507
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,083
The other day, because the bus
driver hit the brakes too suddenly,
508
00:34:17,184 --> 00:34:20,030
he went out and argued
with him for half an hour.
509
00:34:21,334 --> 00:34:23,544
"Don't brake like that."
510
00:34:23,744 --> 00:34:26,384
"If only for the sake of all the
students who sacrificed for us,"
511
00:34:26,484 --> 00:34:27,852
"drive safely."
512
00:34:29,075 --> 00:34:31,554
This fella from
the police station came.
513
00:34:31,644 --> 00:34:34,840
Told me to go get him, as he was
still fighting with the bus driver.
514
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,515
Is that something to laugh at?
515
00:34:42,945 --> 00:34:45,333
Why do you keep laughing?
516
00:34:45,647 --> 00:34:51,301
It just that his days at
the POW camp come to mind.
517
00:34:51,848 --> 00:34:55,232
I went to Geoje Island
to visit him, remember?
518
00:34:55,688 --> 00:34:58,712
He was wearing those protective
clothes or whatever they're called,
519
00:34:58,806 --> 00:35:00,827
and stood there
next to the barbed wire.
520
00:35:00,893 --> 00:35:05,172
You don't know how pitiful he looked.
521
00:35:05,952 --> 00:35:07,110
Aigoo...
522
00:35:07,219 --> 00:35:09,009
Anyone would be angry...
523
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,840
at this damned world of ours.
524
00:35:16,070 --> 00:35:20,227
It takes a total of 50,000 won
to build a bathtub.
525
00:35:20,368 --> 00:35:24,375
So would it make any sense
to pay half for a permit alone?!
526
00:35:25,171 --> 00:35:26,613
It doesn't.
527
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,908
So, what?
528
00:35:29,502 --> 00:35:30,743
You really...
529
00:35:30,874 --> 00:35:33,714
If it's too expensive for you,
then don't build it at all.
530
00:35:33,818 --> 00:35:34,922
Listen!
531
00:35:35,003 --> 00:35:37,570
Do you even know
why April 19 happened?
532
00:35:38,923 --> 00:35:44,183
Because of disgraces like you,
our students shed blood on the streets!
533
00:35:45,404 --> 00:35:46,938
Who just laughed?
534
00:35:51,302 --> 00:35:52,458
Here...
535
00:35:53,006 --> 00:35:55,364
Let's settle the score
in a cool-headed way.
536
00:35:55,546 --> 00:36:00,236
First, let's see what
really changed after April 19.
537
00:36:00,457 --> 00:36:01,496
No...
538
00:36:01,863 --> 00:36:05,076
Asking for that
would be too superficial.
539
00:36:05,292 --> 00:36:09,214
Let's first ask ourselves
what must change.
540
00:36:11,490 --> 00:36:17,646
What we need to change now is not for
that incompetent Jang Myeon to step down,
541
00:36:19,207 --> 00:36:20,834
but, even if it's only the small things,
542
00:36:20,975 --> 00:36:26,679
it's giving our people some solace
and tranquility with your policies.
543
00:36:27,638 --> 00:36:32,199
What powerless people like us need
is no political resolution,
544
00:36:32,368 --> 00:36:33,780
but just a few drinks,
545
00:36:33,919 --> 00:36:36,995
water that works and asphalt roads,
546
00:36:37,165 --> 00:36:42,311
along with a friendly glance from the
district office's workers or policemen,
547
00:36:42,405 --> 00:36:45,941
that's all we ask for.
548
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:49,381
A society which doesn't
respect the individual's feelings...
549
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,687
is no damned democracy
or anything of that sort!
550
00:36:52,866 --> 00:36:56,750
That is why the Jang Myeon regime's
tentative to control personal freedom...
551
00:36:56,844 --> 00:37:01,640
and the free press through its
anti-communism and demonstration laws...
552
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,815
denote not only an anti-democratic
and anti-revolutionary conduct,
553
00:37:05,994 --> 00:37:12,661
but the abuse of power shown by asking half
the cost of building a bathtub for a permit...
554
00:37:12,783 --> 00:37:16,564
cannot be called anything more
than anti-national behavior!
555
00:37:16,686 --> 00:37:18,454
Do we understand?!
556
00:37:19,056 --> 00:37:23,335
They said "If the Jang Myeon regime
wants to deal with all the unrest,"
557
00:37:20,457 --> 00:37:24,191
{\a6}~ Seo Jung Seok ~
(Seonggyungwan History professor)
558
00:37:23,448 --> 00:37:29,918
"they should abolish their
anti-communism and demonstration laws."
559
00:37:30,134 --> 00:37:34,659
Those two were what the opposition,
progressives and student movements...
560
00:37:34,734 --> 00:37:37,170
referred to as the two evil laws.
561
00:37:37,358 --> 00:37:43,038
So the two laws the Jang regime
created to deal with the unrest...
562
00:37:43,142 --> 00:37:46,940
ended up creating more unrest
of their own, on the contrary.
563
00:37:47,034 --> 00:37:54,795
Even though after the coup d'etat such
laws turned into pillars of the new regime,
564
00:37:54,905 --> 00:37:57,735
there were demonstrations
for three-four months.
565
00:37:57,848 --> 00:38:03,828
But the reason why the Jang Myeon regime
could only fail after just one year...
566
00:38:03,989 --> 00:38:09,649
was to be found in their
weakness and instability.
567
00:38:09,734 --> 00:38:16,475
The Democratic Party divided itself
into "New" and "Old" school,
568
00:38:16,635 --> 00:38:19,052
and as Jang Myeon, the leader
of the New School movement,
569
00:38:19,165 --> 00:38:23,208
could not bring
the Old School on board,
570
00:38:23,312 --> 00:38:27,153
the party itself eventually
fell into internal strife,
571
00:38:27,229 --> 00:38:33,088
and because of this structural weakness,
572
00:38:33,210 --> 00:38:41,068
they were never able to push any
solid policy as the ruling party.
573
00:38:41,211 --> 00:38:43,181
It certainly can't be denied.
574
00:38:43,259 --> 00:38:48,993
The result of the Jang Myeon regime
never establishing any solid footing...
575
00:38:49,106 --> 00:38:54,880
was that of paving the way
for the coup d'etat of May 16.
576
00:38:54,984 --> 00:38:56,929
Those weren't just the causes,
577
00:38:57,135 --> 00:39:01,405
but the fact that most people
didn't protest the coup d'etat...
578
00:39:01,499 --> 00:39:05,458
stemmed from their deep resentment
about the Jang regime's debacle.
579
00:39:05,543 --> 00:39:10,599
As a democratic regime,
the Jang Myeon government...
580
00:39:11,163 --> 00:39:14,907
might have boasted some
unquestionable achievements,
581
00:39:15,047 --> 00:39:18,996
but the real issue was whether
they achieved the kind of democracy...
582
00:39:19,081 --> 00:39:24,535
that Koreans at the time were asking for,
583
00:39:27,028 --> 00:39:35,490
and that was what actually painted
their rule in negative colors.
584
00:39:51,369 --> 00:39:53,181
How did it go?
585
00:39:55,777 --> 00:39:57,865
You didn't have a fight, did you?
586
00:39:58,820 --> 00:40:01,269
I became the crazy fool
all by myself, I guess.
587
00:40:02,032 --> 00:40:06,408
You started preaching to those
public servants again, didn't you?
588
00:40:07,612 --> 00:40:09,643
Come sit down here.
589
00:40:17,946 --> 00:40:21,717
We'll just bathe
in the yard at night.
590
00:40:23,335 --> 00:40:24,933
We wasted it.
591
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:27,397
What?
592
00:40:27,613 --> 00:40:31,036
Looks like we wasted the
precious blood those students shed.
593
00:40:34,705 --> 00:40:38,176
This government,
the Jang Myeon government...
594
00:40:38,656 --> 00:40:40,875
is distorting the revolution's principles.
595
00:40:41,195 --> 00:40:44,030
Since they didn't understand
the essence of revolution itself,
596
00:40:44,096 --> 00:40:46,173
I guess that's inevitable.
597
00:40:46,267 --> 00:40:49,151
They never realized why this
revolution even took place.
598
00:40:49,282 --> 00:40:53,655
So it's only natural
that nothing would change.
599
00:40:55,656 --> 00:40:57,727
Why do you think that?
600
00:41:00,898 --> 00:41:03,540
Anyhow, the world has changed.
601
00:41:04,048 --> 00:41:06,079
What has?
602
00:41:06,859 --> 00:41:10,938
The power to move our country's history
doesn't sit with the government,
603
00:41:11,144 --> 00:41:15,865
but with the people,
and April 19 proved it to us all.
604
00:41:18,508 --> 00:41:19,655
What?
605
00:41:20,821 --> 00:41:25,360
Wow... You'll have
to start writing again.
606
00:41:25,736 --> 00:41:30,298
I thought giving birth and doing
chores emptied it all up there...
607
00:41:30,683 --> 00:41:33,151
A saint's maid quotes Latin.
608
00:41:33,675 --> 00:41:34,442
Right...
609
00:41:34,552 --> 00:41:36,032
At least that's a gain.
610
00:41:36,142 --> 00:41:39,054
Because revolutions always
end up failing anyway.
611
00:41:39,562 --> 00:41:44,180
Because revolutions fail,
but only their spirit remains.
612
00:41:45,353 --> 00:41:50,312
So we must never forget the
spirit of all those students...
613
00:41:50,415 --> 00:41:52,973
who sacrificed their lives on April 19.
614
00:41:55,004 --> 00:41:57,553
The second republic
might have been a failure,
615
00:41:57,609 --> 00:41:59,490
but not everything they did was wrong.
616
00:41:59,791 --> 00:42:04,716
In actuality, the Jang Myeon government
gave people the freedom to demonstrate,
617
00:42:04,856 --> 00:42:09,213
and showed the people what
a political democracy meant.
618
00:42:10,007 --> 00:42:12,486
It lasted less than a year,
619
00:42:12,768 --> 00:42:15,199
but the democracy our people
experienced during those days...
620
00:42:15,302 --> 00:42:19,826
set in stone the direction
our democracy should follow.
621
00:42:20,564 --> 00:42:21,645
However,
622
00:42:21,871 --> 00:42:25,774
that was actually not what
the Jang Myeon regime intended.
623
00:42:26,888 --> 00:42:30,996
The unrest of the second republic, which
paved the way for the May 16 coup d'etat,
624
00:42:31,334 --> 00:42:34,786
was not the expression of a democratic
government's "laissez-faire" stance,
625
00:42:34,927 --> 00:42:38,623
but rather the result of the
Jang Myeon regime's incompetence.
626
00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:44,306
"There is no reason."
627
00:42:44,620 --> 00:42:48,171
"Just leave, you people.
All leave."
628
00:42:48,972 --> 00:42:53,928
"You Soviets and Americans,
leave right away."
629
00:42:54,906 --> 00:42:58,432
"Like a beer hall's
counter swept clean..."
630
00:42:59,822 --> 00:43:05,040
"And left with money kindling
its newfound loneliness,"
631
00:43:06,027 --> 00:43:09,310
"Revolutions start and end,"
632
00:43:09,451 --> 00:43:13,325
"They end and once again start."
633
00:43:13,532 --> 00:43:18,921
"The more you spend
the more they ask,"
634
00:43:19,090 --> 00:43:22,702
"And so on, again and again,"
635
00:43:23,044 --> 00:43:29,463
"Like a shiny counter kindled
by the westering sun."
636
00:43:59,065 --> 00:44:03,692
"Just leave," by Kim Su Young.
637
00:44:04,049 --> 00:44:06,969
At a time when, at the slightest
hint of anti-Americanism,
638
00:44:07,088 --> 00:44:10,063
without ever considering
any postwar chain of reasoning,
639
00:44:10,317 --> 00:44:12,094
you would be arrested right away,
640
00:44:12,198 --> 00:44:16,401
here he was, gracing us with his
equivalent of "Yankees, go home,"
641
00:44:16,509 --> 00:44:20,050
subversive literature which
was better suited to one's closet.
642
00:44:21,875 --> 00:44:26,122
Kim Su Young was
telling the Americans that,
643
00:44:26,658 --> 00:44:29,949
since now the world had changed,
they could finally go home.
644
00:44:30,281 --> 00:44:32,366
And it wasn't just the Americans.
645
00:44:32,629 --> 00:44:35,552
He told the same to the Soviets,
646
00:44:36,324 --> 00:44:41,317
as this wasn't their country, but ours.
647
00:44:43,343 --> 00:44:48,532
Kim Su Young was a radical,
demanding complete ideological freedom,
648
00:44:48,730 --> 00:44:51,749
and culturally speaking a surrealist.
649
00:44:52,078 --> 00:44:55,538
However, this "Just leave" of his...
650
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,069
allowed us to meet Kim Su Young
the nationalist, for once.
651
00:45:00,426 --> 00:45:05,457
Also, that sentiment was the same spark
which ignited the post-August 15 (1945)...
652
00:45:05,570 --> 00:45:13,182
Korean Nationalism, from
which our modern history started.
653
00:45:14,226 --> 00:45:18,186
Kim Su Young came downtown
almost every day.
654
00:45:18,571 --> 00:45:23,443
Walking the streets of Gwanghwamun,
strolling about Myeongdong's back alleys,
655
00:45:23,791 --> 00:45:26,706
observing the setting sun
and even in sleep,
656
00:45:27,449 --> 00:45:33,398
he constantly dreamed of
April 19 and endless freedom.
657
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:36,633
That was Kim Su Young's poetry,
658
00:45:36,727 --> 00:45:40,312
and his everything.
659
00:45:50,347 --> 00:45:52,698
Dear, listen...
660
00:45:52,792 --> 00:45:54,255
Why are you already up?
661
00:45:54,375 --> 00:45:58,227
Go back in. I'll finish here
and get back to sleep.
662
00:45:58,472 --> 00:46:00,654
Come in a moment.
663
00:46:00,825 --> 00:46:02,147
Why?
664
00:46:02,429 --> 00:46:04,827
They're saying something
strange on the radio.
665
00:46:04,959 --> 00:46:06,407
What?
666
00:46:07,146 --> 00:46:09,256
Come on in and listen yourself.
667
00:46:28,828 --> 00:46:31,435
Which station was saying that?
668
00:46:32,122 --> 00:46:33,748
Let me try.
669
00:46:36,202 --> 00:46:37,838
Ohh... this.
670
00:46:37,932 --> 00:46:40,086
Turn up the volume.
671
00:46:41,899 --> 00:46:43,717
What's there to be scared of?
672
00:46:43,821 --> 00:46:44,780
"Fellow compatriots."
673
00:46:44,883 --> 00:46:48,382
"The military authorities which
had so far remained dormant..."
674
00:46:48,523 --> 00:46:50,794
"chose this morning at the
crack of dawn to simultaneously..."
675
00:46:50,836 --> 00:46:53,728
"launch a full offensive,
seizing absolute power,"
676
00:46:53,822 --> 00:46:56,860
"and hereby proclaiming the formation
of the military revolution committee."
677
00:46:56,991 --> 00:47:00,784
"What the military rose in action against is
the incompetent and corrupt current junta,"
678
00:47:00,870 --> 00:47:03,005
"pledging to themselves
that the future of this country..."
679
00:47:03,052 --> 00:47:05,789
{\a6}"shall never again be entrusted
to such old class of politicians."
680
00:47:04,246 --> 00:47:06,221
What is this all about?
681
00:47:08,382 --> 00:47:09,896
Dear...
682
00:47:10,498 --> 00:47:11,871
Coup d'etat...
683
00:47:11,965 --> 00:47:16,818
{\a6}"First, anti-communism shall hereby
become our foremost guideline,"
684
00:47:13,658 --> 00:47:15,125
Coup d'etat?!
685
00:47:16,978 --> 00:47:19,574
"Second, we shall
adhere by the UN charter,"
686
00:47:19,684 --> 00:47:23,505
"and establish friendly relations with
freedom-serving nations like the USA."
687
00:47:23,605 --> 00:47:25,175
"Third..."
688
00:47:27,205 --> 00:47:29,279
You sons of bitches!
689
00:47:29,411 --> 00:47:33,076
Was it to protect our country
that you entered there all armed?
690
00:47:33,186 --> 00:47:35,317
You motherless bastards!
691
00:47:35,420 --> 00:47:36,986
Be careful, dear...
692
00:47:37,076 --> 00:47:38,385
What if they catch you?
693
00:47:38,485 --> 00:47:40,036
You bastards!
694
00:47:40,186 --> 00:47:42,913
Daehanminguk Kim Gwan Shik
is warning you!
695
00:47:43,158 --> 00:47:46,534
If you don't return
immediately to your barracks,
696
00:47:47,070 --> 00:47:49,138
if you don't return...
697
00:47:51,150 --> 00:47:54,620
If you don't return immediately...
698
00:47:57,098 --> 00:47:58,241
Dear...
699
00:47:58,382 --> 00:47:59,605
Dear!
700
00:47:59,689 --> 00:48:01,709
Dear, what's wrong?
701
00:48:02,138 --> 00:48:03,308
Dear!
702
00:48:03,420 --> 00:48:06,317
Hyun Gyeong, what's wrong?
703
00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:09,040
Go inside, will you?
704
00:48:09,149 --> 00:48:11,869
What happened to my son?
705
00:48:13,159 --> 00:48:15,289
I don't really know...
706
00:48:15,853 --> 00:48:17,753
Just go on in...
707
00:48:23,971 --> 00:48:25,175
Su Young!
708
00:48:25,269 --> 00:48:26,501
Su Young!
709
00:48:26,689 --> 00:48:28,361
What's wrong with you?
710
00:48:28,471 --> 00:48:29,755
Su Young!
711
00:48:30,094 --> 00:48:30,921
Su Young.
712
00:48:31,015 --> 00:48:31,932
It's your mother.
713
00:48:32,007 --> 00:48:32,693
Su Young.
714
00:48:32,802 --> 00:48:34,313
What's wrong?
715
00:48:34,393 --> 00:48:35,854
You bastards...
716
00:48:35,957 --> 00:48:37,593
I'm not a commie!
717
00:48:38,213 --> 00:48:40,791
I'm not a commie, you bastard.
718
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,823
I said I'm not a commie, you bastard!
719
00:48:47,557 --> 00:48:50,293
And who ever said you are?
720
00:49:32,352 --> 00:49:35,103
It was right when I
left the volunteer corps...
721
00:49:35,940 --> 00:49:40,926
and I was later taken to the
anti-communist POW camp in Geoje Island.
722
00:49:46,175 --> 00:49:48,563
My mother asked me.
723
00:49:50,035 --> 00:49:52,373
"Did you kill someone as well?"
724
00:49:58,025 --> 00:50:00,598
"Did you kill or not?"
725
00:50:04,216 --> 00:50:07,736
If you don't kill
others in war, Mother...
726
00:50:08,441 --> 00:50:09,889
You'll die.
727
00:50:09,993 --> 00:50:12,415
Mother, I'd be the one dying.
728
00:50:22,818 --> 00:50:28,274
I never told this to anyone
but my mother.
729
00:50:29,459 --> 00:50:31,805
Not even to my wife.
730
00:50:34,310 --> 00:50:39,498
I killed others to survive...
731
00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:43,154
I killed other people...
732
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,326
Poetry? What damned poetry?!
733
00:50:50,536 --> 00:50:52,276
"Down lie the brushes."
734
00:50:52,502 --> 00:50:54,857
"Fluttered by the storm and
rain of the easterly gaze,"
735
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,559
"Down fall the brushes,"
736
00:50:56,813 --> 00:50:58,666
"And at last so did those tears."
737
00:50:58,967 --> 00:51:01,492
"From dim skies flew those tears,"
738
00:51:01,612 --> 00:51:03,388
"And once again down they lie."
739
00:51:03,953 --> 00:51:05,667
"Down lie the brushes."
740
00:51:05,817 --> 00:51:08,507
"Lying down faster than the wind,"
741
00:51:08,694 --> 00:51:10,905
"Crying faster than any gaze,"
742
00:51:11,027 --> 00:51:13,940
"And rising back up before
the wind can get them."
743
00:51:14,354 --> 00:51:16,868
"Dim skies and down they lie."
744
00:51:17,232 --> 00:51:18,871
"Down to their ankles,"
745
00:51:19,146 --> 00:51:21,236
"Or even under their feet
should the wind push them,"
746
00:51:21,787 --> 00:51:23,590
"They will still be the first to rise."
747
00:51:23,721 --> 00:51:25,442
"Should they be the first to cry,"
748
00:51:26,157 --> 00:51:30,318
"They will also be the first to smile."
749
00:51:31,188 --> 00:51:35,310
"For skies are dim, and
down lie the brushes' roots."
750
00:51:37,898 --> 00:51:39,551
Coming up next,
751
00:51:39,869 --> 00:51:43,143
The Count of Myeongdong's
last episode will be broadcast.
