The expression of one’s internality
I renewed the installation of the basement floor of the Skyrocket center and it was full of wonder. My calligraphy works on Japanese traditional papers generated an atmosphere of the vast mainland and they did not look like anything Japanese. I bore great hope as the expression of our internality was rich and free from any frameworks. Eventually I recalled that these Japanese papers and black paint originated from Koguryo. While my life has always proved that the history of Koguryo was indeed inherited in my life, many people did not understand this and asked me to show a concrete evidence of my being the direct descendent of its royal family. I believed that everyone could tell if I was authentic or not, as soon as one would meet me, and I always said at interviews by media people in many countries that the fact of my being alive was the proof of the never interrupted stream of my dynasty, and they looked very interested in my reply and so far no one has doubted me. As I had encountered Mr. Idaki Shin, I made it a rule correctly to express the truth that I came to realize in my life to anybody I met in the same sincere manner, indifferent to title, such as president of a state, prime minister, minister, doctor, professor, poet, etc. By expressing what happened in my life I was paving a way for realizing global peace. As in the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert held abroad that made large audiences shed tears out of great impressions, wherever I went people vividly responded to my verbal expressions in Japanese, so I realized that our expression in language was identical to one’s own life and could directly appeal to people’s souls. I was grateful to everything and to my wonderful life as the expression of truth would create a new world and open up a new human era full of hope.
