Professor Jeong Seok-geun (59) of the Department of Marine Science and Technology at Jeju National University wears makeup and short skirts. She appears in skirts not only in private settings but also in public ones like classes and academic conferences. I think it's truly remarkable in Korean society, which tends to criticize anyone who is even slightly different. I am curious about her family and those around her. Her wife, Choi Kyung-hwa (57), who says she became wiser by bowing 1,000 times every day without fail for 1,000 days, states, 'As long as we live well together, it doesn't matter what others say.' And their eldest son, Jeong Woo-young (27), who says he learned early on how to protect himself from others' gazes. They are now said to be a family everyone envies. Professor Jeong Seok-geun is currently busy publishing a book on marine fisheries and resources and doing TV interviews. I accompany her and meet her friends, students, acquaintances, and people in the fisheries industry. While meeting Professor Jeong Seok-geun over a long period, I think of my older brother, who has similar tendencies. My brother left home when he became an adult, and we didn't even contact each other for 26 years. Meeting Professor Jeong Seok-geun has given me words I want to say to my brother. 'You tried so hard. And I'm sorry.' Can I contact my brother and say these things...?
