As the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” concert in Komae draws near, I feel the presence of many souls. Knowing that the earnest wish of the souls will come true, my heart turns beautiful and calm. At the gathering to listen to the recording of the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” held in Sendai, I could not stop myself from wailing at the poem narrating the exile of my ancestors to Japan after Koguryo collapsed. Many of their compatriots, who left their homeland and boarded the same ship, lost their lives to the rough waves and sank into the sea. Mourning for their deaths, those who survived arrived in Japan and kept creating places to live. Today for the first time, I saw pure, beautiful smiles of brave Koguryo people. I became filled with unspeakable joy and felt that their souls were rewarded. I understood that the souls of those who lived the truth and committed to the truth at all times are beautiful. Without any feeling of grudge, they lived the period of Koguryo with beautiful souls no matter what. I was delighted to meet them today. And realizing that I aim to live the same way, I saw how I should move going forward. Also, I understood that expanding the new realm is the way to change the world. Together with many souls, I head towards the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” in Komae. I pray that everyone comes to the concert safely.
