Hello, I'm the director of Gumok, Jo Cho.
I don't have a dramatic reason for choosing this theme.
I just wanted to tell a story of women.
I am a woman myself, and I have a great interest in the lives of women across the world.
Before I studied about Comfort Women, I only had a vague knowledge that we had a sad history.
But as I delved into it more, I could not get out of it.
I felt I really had to tell this story.
I felt I really had to tell this story while I am in the U.K.
It almost felt like a fate. And it drove me to work harder.
There are many positive stories out there.
Stories that are beautiful.. to love and to be loved...
But I wanted to tell a story that we really needed to hear.
A sad story.. that's what I wanted to talk about.
That's why I started Gumok.
