INTERVIEW: FATSOKO
kou: If we’re talking about characters that I struggled to understand, it was definitely ChunSang and MinKi from sangmin. I wrote sangmin with the intention of venting. Because I hated seeing the unhappiness, the viciousness of people’s actions and lack of actions. And I felt a lot like DongWon, on the side, involved enough to have an opinion that should matter but not close enough to make the final decision. For the story sangmin, I think that the both of them were too young to be parents, too young and too stubborn to understand that communication is key. Both of them were making decisions for the other. Both of them had priorities that clashed with the other. And that lack of understanding piled on top of a child made it more frustrating. I think what was difficult for me was accepting that selfishness is normal, that it’s so very human to be wrong even when you’re right. That ChunSang may never be ideal and that MinKi is a fool to decide in his mind that she will be his ideal. Writing sangmin made me realize that it must be tough to move on, to break away from what you’ve built in your mind already and that the power to walk down a different road is solely up to the individual. It’s not simply a matter of right and wrong, of pros and cons. It’s the unwillingness to let go of the promises, of the dreams, of what could have been.
