Fly To You

In 'Fly To You', 85-year-old Kang Songjeol carries lifelong regret over her last words to her cousin Saetbyul before her family's sudden escape from North Korea in 1950. At 11, she shouted in anger, "Don't ever come back!"—words that haunted her for seven decades. Memories of their seaside village, where pollack hung thick in the sky, bring both solace and torment. Through intimate reflections and poetic imagery, the story reveals how war tore families apart overnight, leaving dreams as their only bridge. As time slips away, Songjeol's plea to meet Saetbyul "even if just in dreams" captures the enduring pain of a nation divided by ideology and war.
