Soni Kum Soni's latest work, Morning Dew The Stigama of being “Brainwashed”(Morning Dew), is part of the Project Morning Dew funded by the Kawamura Arts and Culture Foundation. It looks at the 'Repatriation Project' of returning Zainichi Koreans to North Korea conducted under the pretext of humanitarianism from 1959 to 1984. About 90,000 Zainichi Koreans, mostly from the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, left for their 'homeland' they had never been to in order to escape from the discrimination in Japan. Many Zainichi Koreans who sent their families and relatives to the North lived like hostages between the two countries, South and North Korea, and this history was portrayed as an important theme in the films of several Zainichi Korean directors including Yang Young-hi. Morning Dew reflects on the lives of Zainichi Koreans who had escaped to North Korea through the 'Repatriation Project' and returned to Japan from various angles through three-channel video installation. The artist tells a story through the weft and warp of a history of violence, both contradictory and conflicting. The work provides a valuable opportunity to look back on our history from the lens of the past and present of Zainichi Koreans who survived the whirlpool of colonialism, the Cold War, and the division of Korea.​
