Abstract

Abstract:

By retelling the story of Kim Alex, one of the Koryo Saram, based on the documentary film Kim Alex’s Place: Ansan-Tashkent by Kim Soyoung (aka Kim Jeong) and the fundamental ontology of Martin Heidegger, this article actualizes storytelling as a phenomenological method of existential understanding and reframes the structure of existential understanding intersubjectively, in which the Other is a necessary condition of existence and understanding.
