About the director
Meet Jaehyun & Youngjae
Biography
More than seventy years have passed since the Korean War ended, but for its veterans, the war is not yet fully over. Those who gave their youth to defend the country are now mostly in their nineties, and some spend their days in hardship, illness, and loneliness. Jaehyun and Youngjae set out to meet these veterans and record their lives in their own words.

About “In the Name of Honor”
The documentary examines the veterans' support system, the gaps in monthly allowances between regions, medical assistance, and basic economic security — asking whether 'honoring' someone can ever be a matter of grateful words alone.
