This is the final episode of Korean Adoptees Series. You don't wanna miss the story of Sun Yung Shin (신선영). She shares her experience of connecting with the adoption agency Holt, her first trip to South Korean in 1987, a pivotal time when Korean people were protesting dictatorship and fighting for democracy, what this female adopted Korean American identity brings to her, and her decision to legally change her previous name to Sun Yung Shin (신선영).

"A Wolf in the Shell': Life as a Korean Adoptee Is an Existential Condition
