The subject of this interview is Eunho Lee, a nineteen-year-old student at Colby College. When not at school, he lives in Weston, Massachusetts with his mother, father and two older sisters. Eunho’s family is immigrated to the United States from Korea when he was roughly three-years-old. His family is Christian and Eunho belongs to a Korean Christian church. Eunho shares his personal opinions regarding Korean history in relation to ethnicity, militarism, relations between South Korea and the United States, relations between South Korea and Japan, and his personal experiences with Korean culture. He also shares stories of his father’s and grandparents’ experiences with Korea and Korean history. This interview covers topics of Korean unification and the intricacies of Korean age hierarchy. I met Eunho through the Korean history class, “Brothers at War: The Two Koreas, 1945-Present,” and we conducted the interview in person utilizing a microphone and laptop so we could converse without the distraction of more complicated recording methods. The interview was conducted by Chris Athanasia, a freshman at Colby College who plans to study history with a specific focus on US foreign relations and involvement in conflicts throughout the world.
