Hello Grandpa, Grandma

Youngsters of Korean descent living in the former U.S.S.R. areas of Sakhalin, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan visited Korea. On January 11, they had an emotional meeting with their grandparents, who have already returned permanently to Korea, at the “Korean House” in Jung-gu, Seoul, and wished them a happy New Year. The 86 youngsters will return home on January 16 after touring the National Museum of Korea and Gyeongju City.
