Program Note
Youngju lives with and cares for her younger brother after they lose their parents in a sudden accident. Youngju, cast in the role of breadwinner, wants to take full responsibility even if it means giving up her studies. However, her brother acts contrary to her wishes, and things don’t go as intended. Youngju seeks aid from the couple that caused the trouble by killing her parents. They think of Youngju as only a student seeking a part-time job and treat her kindly without any doubt. Youngju is the story of a girl who must be breadwinner and is no longer protected by her parents. After losing her parents, she and her brother have to live with their relatives who cannot be trusted. Paradoxically, the only place where she felt the warmth of family was at the home of the couple who killed their parents. Youngju is comforted by them, but they don′t know she is the victim′s daughter. Can they show her the same warmth after facing the truth? Youngju expects that they can, but her younger brother cannot understand her attitude. (Nam Dong-chul)
