My father was born in a village called Park-Chun 75 years ago. My grandparents are buried there and my relatives still live there although I have never met them. So Park-Chun is sort of my ancestor's place. What ties Park-Chun to the events unfolding now is its location: 30 minutes or so down river from Yongbyon, the most likely target of US bombers in North Korea. I am glad our bombs are smart.
