『愛の不時着』で話題・北朝鮮住民の知られざる生活実態とは?(1)-PSCORE [ENG]

  こんにちは!私たちは北朝鮮の人権と真実をお伝えする韓国のNGO団体PSCOREです。

今回は、北朝鮮の住民の知られざる生活実態についてご紹介します。

 

  Hello! We are PSCORE, an international human rights NGO based in Seoul, South Korea. This time, we would like to introduce the real living conditions of North Korean residents that you probably may not know.

 

  昨今の日本では、北朝鮮のエリート軍人と韓国の財閥令嬢の恋を軸に展開する韓国ドラマ『愛の不時着』ブームが巻き起こっていますね。2020年には「ユーキャン新語・流行語大賞」を受賞したほど。皆さんもご覧になりましたか?

 

  Recently in Japan, there is a boom in the South Korean drama "Crash Landing on You," which is a love story between a North Korean elite soldier and a Korean chaebol woman. In 2020, the drama even won the" U-Can New Words and Popular Words Award" in Japan.

  さて、そんな『愛の不時着』は北朝鮮と韓国を舞台にした物語です。

社宅村の婦人たち、宿泊検閲、頻繁に起こる停電、日本の戦後の闇市場を連想させるような市場...。劇中では普段謎に包まれている北朝鮮の人々の細かい生活描写が大きな話題を呼びました。

 

  "Crash Landing on You" is a story set in North Korea and South Korea.

Wives in company housing villages, accommodation censorship, frequent power outages, markets that remind us of Japan's postwar black market... In the drama, the detailed depiction of the lives of North Koreans, who are usually shrouded in mystery, attracted a great deal of attention.

 

  一口に北朝鮮の住民と言っても、コッチェビ(ストリートチルドレン)などの貧困層から中流階級、エリート階級まで様々な身分の人々が存在します。私たちPSCOREは、『愛の不時着』の中で描かれることのなかった北朝鮮での生活実態、特に「人権」に関わる真実をお伝えしていきます。

 

  In North Korea, there are people of various statuses from the poor such as Kotjebi (street children) to the middle class and the elite class. We, PSCORE, will tell you the truths about real life in North Korea, especially from the perspective of "human rights," which were not depicted in "Crash Landing on You".

 

飢餓と栄養失調

(Starvation and malnutrition)

 

  飢餓と栄養失調は、北朝鮮が抱えている最も深刻な問題です。住民が食料を得る方法は市場での購入政府からの配給です。北朝鮮では2016年の洪水で133人が命を失い、相次ぐ洪水と干ばつに多大な被害を受けています。

  政府はこの危機的状況に適切な措置を取れておらず、住民の毎日の食糧配給に大きな影響を及ぼしています。(2017年1月基準で一人あたり400g、摂取目安量である600gを大きく下回る)

  子どもたちは栄養失調の主な被害者であり、北朝鮮での児童死亡率は韓国の10倍なのです

 

  Hunger and malnutrition are the most serious problems in North Korea.

  Residents can get food by buying in the market or ration from the government. In North Korea, the 2016 floods killed 133 people and people suffered heavy floods and droughts.

  The government did not take appropriate measures in this crisis, which has affected the daily food  rations of its people. (400g per person as of January 2017, which is well below the standard intake amount of 600g)

  Children are the main victims of malnutrition, and the child mortality rate in North Korea is ten times higher than in South Korea.

不法監禁

(Illegal confinement)

  北朝鮮が絶対に認めないのが政治犯収容所(管理所)の存在です。裁判なしに宣告を受けるのは当たり前で、被収容者たちは日常的な暴力と空腹に苦しみながら強制労働をさせられます。

 

  北朝鮮の住民が最も恐れていることは政治犯の罪を問われ政治犯収容所に収監されることです。「忠誠心を失った人物」と一度記録されると、本人はもちろん家族や子孫までもが処罰の対象になります。自殺も罪になり家族に罪が移るため、拷問を受けても簡単に命を断つこともできないのです。

 

  What North Korea never admits is the existence of a political prisoner camp (administrative camp). It is natural to be sentenced without trial, and detainees are forced into labor while suffering from routine violence and hunger.

 

  The biggest fear for North Korean residents is that they are charged with political prisoners and imprisoned in political prison camps. Once recorded as a "person who has lost loyalty," the person, as well as his family and offspring, are subject to punishment. Suicide is also a crime and the crime is transferred to the family, so even if tortured, it is not easy to commit suicide.

  「政治犯収容所の中で25号だけは、確かな反動行為の証拠がある場合のみ行くことになっています。25号輸城教化所に入ったら生きて出てくることはないと思えばいいです。」― ミンチョル (15号耀徳収容所 3年収監)

 

   ''Only No. 25 in the political prison camp is to go only if there is solid evidence of recoil. If you enter the No. 25 Suseong Education Center, you should think that you will not come out alive. -Minchul (experienced a 3-year imprisonment in the No. 15 Yodok Concentration Camp )

  いかがでしたでしょうか?これが、ドラマでは語られなかった北朝鮮の真実です。しかし、これらはまだまだ序の口です。北朝鮮ではこの他にも多くの人権侵害が日常的に行われています。

 

  These were the truths about North Korea from a human rights viewpoint that was not told in the drama. However, these are just the beginning and many other human rights violations are common in North Korea.
