“Roza” is a common Russian name among girls with Korean faces. This mismatch holds everything that is given to the Koryo-saram, born into someone else’s history that defines you before any choice of your own. The name promises a flower, but instead of thorns, the world around you hands you someone else’s armour, and now this monolith of incompatible parts is your only natural form.
