JOURNEY TO RECLAIMING KOREAN CITIZENSHIP

Описание: 입양 한인의 국적 회복기를 통해본 정체성 찾기

Welcome back.
A law... enacted... here... in the country... about a decade ago... allows... ADOPTEES... BORN HERE... to REINSTATE... their citizenship... WITHOUT... losing their ADOPTED NATIONALITY.
PRIOR TO... this law... ADOPTEES... who happened... to have... both citizenships... HAD to CHOOSE ONE... once they turned 20... or 22... depending on gender.
For more... I have Bryan PIETSCH... JEONG Dong-soo ... an adoptee... who RECLAIMED... his Korean citizenship.
Bryan... welcome... and congratulations... on reclaiming your Korean identity... should I say?

1) Bryan... let's begin... with the reason for... and your journey to... reclaiming Korean citizen.
(Do tell us a bit about the actual protocols involved.)

2-1) Are you required... to take... a Korean language proficiency test?

2-2) Do you suppose... such a requirement... would have hindered... your hopes... of reclaiming Korean citizenship?

3) Now... this next question is something... you touched upon... in your coverage... of your experience... for The Washington Post.
As you are probably aware... military service is an obligation... for Korean men.
Are you required to serve?

4) Bryan... what has been the response... to your article... your experience to becoming Korean again?
(from those around you, from your readers, etc)

5) Meanwhile... what have been some of the merits... and perhaps... demerits... of your reclaiming citizenship?

6-1) Bryan... you mentioned... the Global Overseas Adoptees' Link... that assisted you... in your reinstatement process.
Could you tell us a bit about this entity?

{{{ 6-2) Have you sought to find your biological parents? }}}

7) Meanwhile... back in the U.S.... the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy marks... its tenth anniversary... this year.
For the sake of our viewers here... do tell us about this policy.

8) Bryan... let's end... with a few words... on your future plans... as a Korean citizen?

All right...
