A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

South Korea’s democratization didn’t fully begin until 1987 via the June Democratic Uprising. So the Tannies are amongst the first generations of Koreans to grow up with civil liberties like freedom of speech and expression, privacy rights, etc.
