作品画像：1993年8月、韓国政府から枯葉剤被爆患者の認定をうけた韓国軍のもとベトナム帰還兵・趙吉成（チョウ・キルソン）。四肢の末梢神経麻痺、さらに足先から壊死がすすんだ。当時アメリカの要求に応じ、参戦国軍としてベトナムの前線に派兵された韓国軍兵士の総数は31万余、うち5千人が被爆症を申し立てた（ソウル、1993年5月）

In August 1993, Cho Gil-sung, a Vietnam veteran who served in the South Korean military, was certified by the South Korean government as a patient exposed to defoliants. Peripheral nerve paralysis occurred in his extremities, and necrosis began in his toes. At the time, at the request of the United States, the total number of South Korean soldiers dispatched to the front lines of Vietnam as part of the armed forces of the allied nations was over 310,000, of whom 5,000 claimed to have suffered from atomic bombing (Seoul, May 1993).
