애니메이션 내 전문:
People were paraylzed and stupefied
We were inexperienced and so unsophisticated
I was sick at heart
No Friend No Money No Country
Lonesome journey and a cheerless homecoming
He said that I could not Americanize Korea
He came back mentally ill haunted by western ghosts!
Nationalism seems to be the common religion of all races
Korea is the land of promise for Koreans
Korean race is good race
Unity Harmony Faith

Incorporating printmaking, sculpture, and video installation, this project investigates concepts of translation and diaspora through iteration across media forms. Yaloo takes Dr. Philip Jaisohn’s (Soh Jaipil), 1939 article, “Korean Delicacies,” as a launching point for investigating tensions between assimilation and independence exemplified in Dr. Jaisohn’s life and work. Dr. Jaisohn, the first Korean-born person to become a naturalized American citizen in 1890, was medical doctor, publisher, and a proponent of Korean independence who dedicated his life and writings to political activism and boundary breaking. A fervent critic of Korean policies, Jaisohn established groups devoted to modernist progress in Korea and oversaw construction of the Independence Gate in Seoul, meant to inspire Korea’s political sovereignty from imperial China. Late in his career, he wrote weekly articles for The New Korea, a bilingual newspaper aimed at second generation Korean Americans."Korean Delicacies“ details Korean comfort foods, such as chestnuts, persimmons, and rice wine, presenting a nostalgic reverie of foods likely not experienced by The New Korea’s English speaking audience.
