00:00My father was born in North Korea, in a small village at the end of the mountain where there was a tiger's den.
00:20Here is my father in his studio.
00:24Here is the TV.
00:35Here is his museum.
00:40Here is one of his paintings.
00:45My father is someone who doesn't talk.

00:53So I can know more about him than what he wants to say.
00:57I think the fact that the bell has no meaning is what you have heard so far.
