Korean-American Permitted to Retrieve Ashes
Koo Jun Hoe | 2014-05-15 14:46
In a rare move, 80-year-old Korean-American Park Mun Jae recently received permission from the North Korean authorities to retrieve the remains of his elder sister from the North for transport to the United States.
Park was granted access to a graveyard in the vicinity of Mansudae, Pyongyang on Saturday, Voice of America reported on the 15th. He made the unusual request to the North Korean authorities earlier in the year, expressing his desire to lay his sister's remains next to their mother’s grave in Chicago.
Park travels to Pyongyang every year to provide free medical services as part of a contingent of Korean-American doctors.
His sister Kyong Jae crossed over to the North in 1951 with the North Korean military, later studying music in Eastern Europe before working as an opera singer in the Sea of Blood Theatrical Troupe.
The siblings met in 1995 in Pyongyang for the first time in 44 years, and were granted permission to meet once a year until Kyong Jae’s death in 2012."
