Jung, a 42-year-old cartoonist, is one of the many adopted Koreans spread around the world who elect to perform a reconciliatory trip to their country of birth. Jung decided to return to South Korea in order to breathe the air of his home country, tread the land of his ancestors, and maybe find traces of his biological mother. Shot as a documentary, this trip leads Jung to recall – through animation – the child he once was and the winding path that made him grow up.

Do I need to be a paid member to attend AK Connection events?
Good question! No, anyone who is an adult Korean adoptee can attend an event (and many of our events are open to you bringing guests - partners/spouses/children/parents).
However, being a paid member has its benefits. See details on how to become a paid member and why it may be worth the $20 ($15 for students) to support our organization!
