초록
This paper will investigate the experiences of individuals who have escaped North Korea and that now find themselves in the dramatically changed environment of South Korea. The methodology used involved conducting a small number of in-depth, open ended interviews with recently escaped refugees. From the explanations collected in this paper it emerges that the experience of defecting from North Korea is similar to the experience of leaving a large family. In addition, this family is cast as a ‘corporate’ entity, in terms of it being like a large ‘human’ body. The hypothesis is that leaving the country is like leaving the family, which is like damaging the integrity of the human body. In this paper we find that the subjects interviewed, in fact, metaphorically connected their health problems and physical hardships to the fact that they left their families and country. To adapt to their new home country and recoup their wellbeing, therefore, the refugees must also seek to regain a sense of familial ties.

In addition, this family is cast as a ‘corporate’ entity, in terms of it being like a large ‘human’ body. The hypothesis is that leaving the country is like leaving the family, which is like damaging the integrity of the human body. In this paper we find that the subjects interviewed, in fact, metaphorically connected their health problems and physical hardships to the fact that they left their families and country. To adapt to their new home country and recoup their wellbeing, therefore, the refugees must also seek to regain a sense of familial ties.
