Romeo was born in a working class family in North Korea. In the 90's, he witnessed the devastating famine that hit his country. He decided to flee to China, then to South Korea. He had a hard life, and he even thought about committing suicide. He will marry his Juliet, a south korean woman soon. In this very conservative society, many South Koreans consider their northern neighbors as second-class citizens. But Romeo is someone really special: he is the first north korean defector who has an entrepreneurial vocation in South Korea. He runs two Cafés with North Koreans employees and has so many projects.
