English to Korean: Dear great leader Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Dear great leader
On February 16, 2002, the 60th birthday of the Great Leader Kim Jong-il, I was standing in front of a group of Workers' Party leaders in Pyongyang, singing a South Korean protest song called Morning Dew. It was a strange situation for a fiction writer from New York's East Village who is neither a political activist nor an entertainer. I am South Korean by birth and an American, having immigrated at 13. The American in me dismisses North Korea as off-limits, a bastard child of the Cold War. But I am often haunted by the photographs of famine there that I see on the evening news. When friends ask me whether I think the two Koreas will ever be reunified, I never know what to say. I know as much as they do, or as little. The one thing that sets me apart is that I am certain, no matter how evil North Korea is supposed to be, that I could never hate its people.
The story of my journey began in the northern autumn of 2001 when I wrote to Yoo Tai-young, the head of the Korean American National Co-ordinating Council, asking how I might obtain a visa to go to North Korea. A retired minister of the Bedford Park Presbyterian Church in the Bronx, he is well known among New York's Korean-American community for his activities on behalf of North Korea. If you want to find a way to Pyongyang, several people had advised me, you should get in touch with Yoo. Very few Americans have been issued visas in recent years, and I doubted that he could arrange one for me. But after an interview with the KANCC's representative, I received, in an envelope bearing the return address of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, a simple form entitled "Homecoming Application".
Translation - Korean 친애하는 수령님께
김정일 수령의 60번째 생일이었던 2002년 2월 16일, 나는 평양에서 한 무리의 노동당 의원들 앞에 서 남한의 민중운동가인 ‘아침 이슬’을 부르고 있었다. 정치 운동가도 가수도 아닌, 뉴욕 이스트 빌리지 출신의 소설가에게 있어서는 참으로 기괴한 상황이 아닐 수 없었다. 나는 남한에서 태어났고 열세 살 때 미국으로 이민을 갔다. 미국 국적을 가진 나에게 동서 냉전의 사생아인 북한은 출입 금지 구역이 아니다. 그러나 저녁 뉴스에서 그 곳의 기아 관련 사진들을 볼 때면 종종 괴롭기도 하다. 친구들이 내게 두 나라가 언젠가는 통일할거라 생각하냐 물으면 나는 늘 답을 하기 힘들다. 나는 북한에 대해 그들 이상으로 아는 것이 없다. 한가지 다른 점이라면 북한이 아무리 사악할지라도 그 사람들을 결코 미워할 수 없다는 것이다.
내 여정은 2001년 가을, 한미 조정 평의회 유태영 대표에게 북한 비자 취득 방법을 묻는 편지를 보내면서 시작되었다. 한 때 브롱스 베드포드 파크 장로 교회의 목사였던 그는 북한을 대표하는 활동들로 뉴욕의 한국계 미국인 사회에서 잘 알려져 있다. 몇몇 사람들이, 평양을 방문하고 싶으면 유회장에게 접촉해야 한다고 조언하였다. 최근 몇 년간 비자를 취득한 미국인이 거의 없었기에 그가 발급을 해 줄 수 있을지는 의심스러웠다 그러나 유태영 대표와의 인터뷰 후 나는 뉴저지 잉글우드 클리프에서 보내온 “귀향 신청서”라는 제목의 간결한 서식을 배달 받았다.
