In 1980, I was living in Seoul with my former husband. I had
moved from Busan to Seoul to study linguistics at Seoul
National University. It was just after we married, and I was
very pregnant. My husband and I didn’t want to live in the
busy big city anymore. Seoul is very inconvenient. I felt like I
was always wasting time traveling from one place to another in
the city. Also, the rent was too expensive. We had both
finished studying at university, so my husband said I could pick
somewhere else to live. I picked Jeju!
