Korean laundress  wary yet hopeful about Koreas

Christina
Lee of BonLynn Cleaners was listening to a Korean language radio station when I
asked her about the current tense situation in the Koreas.  Lee came to the U.S. in 1986 from South
Korea and does not know anyone living in North Korea nor of anyone who travels
there. From what she has seen on Korean news, she believes the current North
Korean leader, 29 year-old  Kim
Jung-un, is too young, which she thinks could be very dangerous. But Lee’s
friends and family in South Korea don’t take North Korea’s [militaristic]
threats seriously. She thinks reunification is inevitable but that it will
bring tension and be accompanied by economic hardship, similar to when East and
West Germany were re-united.  To
make the transition a lot smoother, she believes, the two Koreas must come up
with a clear plan and follow it step by step.
