Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2012-05-30 20:25	Directed by Shin Sang-ok, a South Korean director who was allegedly kidnapped by North Korea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Sang-ok Quote Nobody in the outside world knew where Shin and Choi were until they re-surfaced at the 1984 Karlovy Vary film festival, telling the international press that they had voluntary moved up north and presenting Shin’s first Northern production An Emissary of No Return. The film was a historical piece based on a play penned allegedly by Kim Il-sung and detailing the events leading to the harakiri of Korean emissary Ri Jun in front of the international delegates of the “2nd The Hague International Peace Conference” in 1907. Ri Jun thought he could shock the international community and get the Western powers to help reversing the Ito Hirobumi-drawn Japanese-Korean Protective Treaty of 1905, which essentially subjugated Korea under Japanese leadership. He didn’t succeed. http://filmint.nu/?p=1402 AKA "An Emissary of No Return" (see above) or "The Emissary Who Did Not Return". See http://northkoreanfilms.com/dprk-film-database/

For the historical background on the Hague Secret Emissary Affair: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Secret_Emissary_Affair In reality, Yi Jun's body was exhumed and reburied in Seoul in 1963. Of course a North Korean film wouldn't mention that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi_Jun
