Forbidden: A Tale Untold (JenLisa)

On occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Thailand and the Republic of Korea in 2018, a series of celebration events has been organized both in Thailand and the Republic of Korea. A Thai photographer was tasked to make a special project for the event with a Korean historical professor. Together, they uncovered untold story about a forbidden love and utmost sacrifices for the countries they love.

"The friendship between Thailand and the Republic of Korea predates the official establishment of diplomatic ties. In the late 14th century, Siamese envoys were granted an audience by King Gongyang of the Koryo Kingdom. However, due to the difficulty of travelling from Siam to Koryo by sea, it was only when the United Nations requested the Government of Thailand to send her troops to fight in the Korean War (1950-1953) that the two countries made contact again."

"Do you believe in destiny?"

"There is no such thing."

"I guess... but we'll never know, really."
