CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker in for Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on February 23rd, 2023, reviewing “Return to Seoul,” a meditation on an adoptee and identity. In select theaters beginning February 24th.
Frederique “Freddie” Benoit (Ji-min Park) was adopted from South Korea as a baby and has never traveled back there. When a switched flight and a quirk of fate intervenes, she lands in Seoul, South Korea, and gets information about her biological parents from the adoption agency that handled her transaction. She sees her bio father (Kwang-rok Oh) immediately, and can find no connection, but her mother refuses to see her. What follows is an eight year journey, in which she comes in and out of Seoul over the years, reaching for something she has a hard time grasping.
