SYNOPSIS

Chunjung, a Joseonjok (ethnic Korean in China) migrant worker, gets a job at a voice phishing company after wandering aimlessly from place to place. Chunjung appears to be as naive as a gentle spring breeze. People think it is somewhat strange, but they soon warm up to her. In terms of its representation of migrant workers(one of main trends of recent Korean short films), Chunjung portrays a Joseonjok migrant worker in a way we¡¯ve never seen before. That is, through its ¡®uncommon¡¯ representation of the main character, Chunjung challenges us on the narrow-mindedness of our viewpoint on migrant workers, while shedding off the benevolent representation of Chunjung as poor minority and the type of obsolete thinking that divides local residents from strangers. [LEE Hyuk-sang]
