The story of the actor Jung Woosung as he meets refugees. As a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Jung has visited a refugee settlement at least once a year since 2014 to learn of their plight firsthand and publicize it in Korea. These are a collection of his experiences and thoughts, and the stories of the refugees he has met along the way. He professes that he was moved to write a book about his experiences because "If anyone goes into a refugee settlement and listens to their stories, they will have no doubt as to the need to help these people and the important role the UNHCR plays around the world."
