The 549 Refugee problem staying in Jeju Island is not sinking. The presidential office and the Justice Department have not been able to come up with a clear stance or policy, as the debate over the issue has been on the rise since mid-June.
In the meantime, some people are getting the attention of netizens by publicly revealing their views on Refugee: movie star Jung Woo-sung. Jung Woo-sung has been praised and supported by social remarks, but he has not received full support for Refugee. In his Interview article, insulting malicious comments lined up.
Jung Woo-sung appeared on CBS Radio <Kim Hyun-jung's News Show> on the morning of the 5th, and once again expressed his view of embracing and understanding of Refugee for 20 minutes. He refuted the logic of supporting the opposition to Refugee with a thoughtful and calm attitude. He also said he had looked at the comments in the Interview article twice and three times. It seemed to have suffered from bad comments, but I tried to buy the trust of listeners with careful voice and convincing logic.
It is important to exclude prejudice and to grasp accurate information and facts. Jung Woo-sung delivered the facts that the public did not know well, such as the fact that Malaysia was not a ratification of the Refugee Convention, that the Yemen people were forced to leave the same Pakistan country, the existence of brokers and what they did. Jung Woo-sung, who has been a goodwill ambassador for the UNRefugee Organization for four years, appealed that helping to embrace Refugee and arrange employment is a better choice for the safety and benefits of Korean society.
"It's a prejudice, but the fact is that it's a matter of our society that there is a possibility that anyone can be a criminal. And as far as that part goes, he's trying to separate Refugee from our society. That part was a little sad. When a Korean man named Cho Seung-hee of Virginia Tech in 2007 fired a gun, the United States of America at the time said, 'Korean people are more likely to become gunmen. So, watch out for the kids in Korea.' 'Cause I didn't. He just said, "He's a Korean-American United States of America."
It is urgent to prepare measures to make them not to adapt to the cold weather of Korean society and to wander around the periphery and not to fall into the temptation of crime, and to retrain the culture and norms of our society.
Jung Woo-sung also said, "The problem of Refugee is that you can not be responsible for one person or a country, so I am talking about social interest because it is a problem that I have to be responsible for together in World, not to tell you to take responsibility."
Yemenis have the right to stay in the country legally for up to three to five years through the UN Refugee Convention, an international promise, as long as they arrive in Jeju Island. Rather than approaching with pros or cons, it is necessary to have concrete measures to 'coexistence' with each other.
Yoon Ji-young, a professor at Konkuk University's Institute of Body Culture, pointed out on the 21st of last month that "Yemen Refugee men are weak in the standards of domestic male groups, and it should be realized that limiting them to the only recognition method for Refugee reflects the limitations of male-centered humanitarianism" based on the Refugee problem that they have seen and experienced directly in Europe for 10 years.
According to the article, there is a 'hierarchy' in the Refugee community, and it is often observed in Europe that a relatively superior adult Refugee extorts minor Refugee or forcibly begs and petty theft. Although the article was posted on a personal SNS, it immediately brought a hot debate on the pros and cons. It was more vulnerable because Refugee was seen as naive and was wary of both "romantic" and exclusion and abhorrent positions. Professor Yoon suggested resocialization, Korean language education, educational opportunities for minors, and human rights education for Koreans.
The problem of Refugee is inevitable in Korea reality. Above all, we should approach the sympathy for the suffering of those who have escaped from war, massacre and hunger. The government should step up and feel the hearts of the Jeju Islanders.
Jeju Island is a chronically troubled area where you can't save people even if you offer tickets and accommodation outside of your party during the citrus harvest season. In addition, it is known that there is a regular shortage of workers in agriculture and fisheries and service jobs. On the other hand, activists argue that it is better to lift the restrictions on the release of the Refugees because the Pakistan cultural community has already been formed in the Gyeonggi area, so it is more effective to go there and get a job and adapt with the help of the same cultural people.
We can be Refugee, too
Jung Woo-sung said in the news show that it was an opportunity to look into our problems through the external elements of Refugee. I appealed to the opportunity to go to a more mature society with this problem.
“I think that in South Korea now, Refugee is not the story of the Refugee problem, but our story: our society has always been unequal and unreasonable. And it was a society that was not healed. Because of these social problems, it seems that the problem has suddenly grown because of the Refugee from the outside, and if we make this conflict that our society has, and this kind of opportunity to solve it well, it will be a more mature South Korea and a country that can take care of Refugee in the international community. And I think that we should make it through this opportunity in an atmosphere where we can go to a mature society where we can take care of the alienated class in society. "
Hannah Arendt, a former exiled Jew, defined the 20th century as the 'century of displaced people'. In the first half of the 20th century, colonial rule, the World War, and political totalitarianism created countless Refugees. "In the late 20th century, more Repugee was constantly created by the Cold War and the local war, the dominance and deportation of multinational corporations, massive environmental destruction, and media violence," said Seo Kyung-sik, a professor at Tokyo Economic University. Professor Seo said, "The reality that World is being organized into a single market economy today is accelerating this trend explosively."
"In the end, Refugees are talking about talking about Refugee and asking him to help Refugee, saying that this ridiculous conflict and war should be eliminated. That's why I think the interest in Refugee is not just such a warm-hearted story of helping people who are in need, but such a statement that I can voice my voice to eliminate this dispute. "
