Hello, my name is Hana Marie Kim. I am 14 years old. I live in Los Angeles, California, and am a rising 9th grader. I represent Gen Z and Korean American youth who want peace worldwide and on the Korean peninsula.
I am a fifth-generation member of a divided family. Like my great-great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother, I am working for the end of the Korean War and the reunion of separated families like mine.
My great-great-grandfather was a philanthropist and social reformer who traveled to the north in 1948 to help the country reunify. When the division became permanent, he could not return to his family in the South and never saw them again.
My great-grandmother was only 28 when the Korean War broke out in 1950. She took her elderly parents, in-laws, and three small children and fled south from Seoul to Busan, where they spent three years as refugees. My grandmother remembers crossing a bridge over the Han River on foot as a 4-year-old while bombs exploded behind her. Firecrackers and loud noises still bother Halmuni; she has spent her life seeking peace and healing.
I am here today because war is wrong and wasteful. Most people do not know that the Korean War never ended and that we continue to spend billions of dollars yearly to win this war. Meanwhile, young people like me face a world of climate devastation and economic uncertainty. We need better education, healthcare, and security. Gen Z and Gen Alpha need peace, NOT war.
I hope to visit my great-great-grandfather¡¯s gravesite and meet my North Korean relatives one day. It is unfair that American citizens cannot travel to North Korea because of the U.S. travel ban or that Koreans have been unable to cross the DMZ for over 70 years. We need to end the Korean War so that I and millions of other young Koreans and Korean Americans can move forward in a world of peace and cooperation.
Thank you.
