"The Korean word 'Han' has been explained as the emotional state of sorrow, grief, anger, lament, or resentment attributed to personal and historical trauma. It is also thought as a complex, ambiguous, paradoxical, unspoken and untranslatable emotional pain hidden deep inside the psyche. As a person whose native language is not Korean, I resonated with the thought that 'this' condition may be a common human theme, even though Han is Korean people's particular variation. The personal and historical stories woven together in the emotion of Han are all different from each other, but perhaps all human - regardless of divisions of nationality, gender, or generation - all can feel it in their own ways. In fact, there are many words in different languages which express the concept of Han via their own personal and cultural history.
