What sense of belonging means to those forcibly displaced
For Jacob Jorgensen, a Korean adoptee brought up in Sweden, finding a sense of belonging has been a lifelong task he struggled for a long time with, while feeling he belongs neither in Sweden nor Korea.

Korea's first modern magician ventures abroad
