About the Musical Return Home
The story begins with a Korean War veteran, Seung-ho, who wanders around battlegrounds in search of the remains of his fellow soldiers who were killed during the Korean War. The story goes back in time to the Korean War, when a young Seung-ho witnessed his fellow soldiers sacrifice their young lives to protect their country. Seung-ho promised them to find and return their remains to their families. Seung-ho’s grandson, Hyun-min and his friend Woo-joo take over the war veteran’s mission to discover the Korean War remains through an Army excavation operation. The Army excavation operation is actually in progress. Following a breakthrough deal with North Korea, the South launched an operation to recover Korean War soldiers’ lost remains inside the heavily-militarized Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Seventy years after the Korean War, there are approximately 133,000 soldiers who have not yet returned to their families. In a search operation starting in 2000, the remains of some 10,000 of them have been recovered but not yet identified. The time is running out for the rest of them as their families are reaching old age.
