This time, we tell the story of a Yemeni young man who came to Korea after leaving his homeland in the midst of a civil war. A young man who wanted to make Korea his second hometown, could not endure discrimination and coldness and left for another country after 4 years.
Reporter Jeong-eun Shin covered Mohammed's story to see if there is anything our society needs to reflect on.

[Colleague A: You XX, don't open your eyes. (I don't know what you mean.) You know, but you don't know what I'm talking about. This is XX.]
I asked the reason, but
[Colleague A: (Why are you saying bad things to me now?) That's why you shouldn't be seen, XX.]
Slang and profanity are basic.
A sharp point that pierces the eyes is back.
[Work colleague Mr. A: Hey, this is XX. Are you at home? bring it (Do you want to make trouble for Auntie? I don't make trouble for you.) Do you want to kill me? Kill this XX. XXX is real.]
I tried asking for help, but to no avail.
[Colleague B: No reason. If you're going to make a living, just work hard here.]
Mohammed is from Yemen, suffering from the worst civil war.
In 2017, 19-year-old Mohammed escaped shortly before being drafted into a child soldier.
Two friends, like brothers, who were taken to the battlefield, now live or die.
After arriving in Korea, I barely obtained the status of a 'humanitarian sojourner'.
A 'humane sojourner' is a foreigner who has been granted sojourn status because it is recognized that life and freedom may be infringed through inhumane treatment such as torture.
If you get a work permit, you can work.
Mohammed decided to make Korea his hometown.
He learned Hangul and changed his name to 'Kim Hangul'.
But the discrimination was persistent and persistent.
[Kim Hangul/Mohammed (pseudonym): (a coworker) 'Why don't you eat pork? If you don't eat pork, go home.'] When
you quit your job after not being able to withstand the insult, finding your next job was 'picking stars in the sky'.
Every time I change my job, I have to get a permit from the immigration office, which is difficult from the beginning of the reservation.
[The person in charge of the Immigration Office of the Ministry of Justice: Because of the Corona virus, we have reduced the number of existing reservations so that it would have been quite uncomfortable if they were unable to make a reservation. .] It
takes about two weeks for the screening process, and jobs are often lost during that time.
[Kim Young-ah / CEO of 'Migration for Peace in Asia': A lot of contracts are broken even after they are written. Re-pay the application fee 120,000 won out you have to wait a couple of weeks back one month salary value disappears again.]
'Life' and 'peace', because memories of the cold war, Mr. Kim HangulI lived with the word in my heart.
[Kim Hangul/Mohammed (pseudonym): I am Peace.
I want to live in peace without making any problems.
I am stable.
I want to live.]
However, after experiencing endless discrimination and coldness, it is said that he began to think about “death”.
After one month of interview with SBS, Kim Han-geul returned to the name of Mohammed and left Korea in search of a place with less discrimination.
