case of abolishing a residential facility for the disabled in Korea: From reporting corruption and human rights violations to the movement to deinstitutionalize.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Before becoming the first facility in Korean society to voluntarily close its doors, the residents and staff of Hyangyu House (formerly Seokam Bethesda Nursing Home), a facility under the social welfare corporation Freewell (formerly Seokam Foundation), went through a struggle that lasted a full 12 years.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, all residents were discharged from the facility on March 3, 2021, and on April 30, Hyangyu House disappeared into history after 36 years of establishment.\u003cbr\u003e (Before closing the House of Hyangyu) In 2009, activists for the disabled who had deinstitutionalized the Seokam Foundation transformed it into the social welfare corporation Freewell in an effort to drive out the old corrupt forces.\u003cbr\u003e Those who took over the new management rights went into the facility and actively supported the residents' move out.\u003cbr\u003e It wasn't just 'deinstitutionalization'. \u003cbr\u003eResidents, as well as staff who have been with them for a long time, have struggled to realize a 'deinstitutionalization that excludes no one.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The path to closing a large facility that once housed more than 120 residents was a surprising and arduous one.\u003cbr\u003e At first, no one knew.\u003cbr\u003e That this fight is the beginning of a long struggle to reject the facility itself.\u003cbr\u003e The typical scenario was for the foundation to return to the facility once its corruption, embezzlement, and human rights abuses were resolved to some extent.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, between 2007 and 2008, residents and staff at Seokam Bethesda Nursing Home successfully ousted the Seokam Foundation management family, who had been stealing residents' disability benefits for a long time and engaging in various abusive acts. \u003cbr\u003eInternally, the 'Emergency Response Committee for the Human Rights of Seokam Foundation Residents' (Seokam Emergency Response Committee), an organization of people with disabilities, and the employee organization 'Seokam Foundation Branch of the Public Service and Transport Federation of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, Social Welfare Branch of the Public Service and Transport Workers' Union' (Seokam Union) were formed, and externally, the 'Joint Response Committee for the Eradication of Corruption and Securing Human Rights at Seokam Foundation' (Seokam Joint Response Committee), a civil society solidarity organization, was formed and reported 13 people responsible for corruption to the prosecution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But the world surrounding the residents was already changing beyond control.\u003cbr\u003e In 2009, some residents who had been fighting for the eradication of corruption, the guarantee of human rights, and the replacement of all board members of the foundation, stormed out of the facility as soon as the problem was resolved.\u003cbr\u003e The story, which was expected to end with the conclusion, “The facility was reborn as a place where human rights were guaranteed, and the disabled people began to live happily…”, took a sharp turn starting from this day. \u003cbr\u003eThus began their real struggle to leave the facility and live independently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA

plainclothes police officers surrounded the park.\u003cbr\u003e But that was only for a moment, as the police, having checked their belongings, quickly retreated. \u003cbr\u003eA shabby world, consisting of two wardrobes, a small refrigerator, a microwave, a chest of drawers, and cardboard boxes containing clothes, blankets, and small household items, was dragged into the middle of the park.\u003cbr\u003e It was a life that testified to the harsh life in the facility.\u003cbr\u003e The names of these people, who would later be called the 'Marronnier Eight' and be talked about for a long time, are Kim Dong-rim (48 years old), Kim Yong-nam (51 years old), Kim Jin-su (59 years old), Bang Sang-yeon (38 years old), Joo Ki-ok (63 years old), Ha Sang-yoon (37 years old), Hong Seong-ho (56 years old), and Hwang Jeong-yong (53 years old).\u003cbr\u003e Most of them had lived in the facility for more than 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Jeong-ha, a disability and human rights activist and chairman of Freewell Corporation who organized the Marronnier Park sit-in in 2009, emphasizes that the deinstitutionalization movement is a 'housing rights movement.'\u003cbr\u003e For people with disabilities living in facilities to return to the community, the three essential things they need are activity support services, income, and housing. However, the most important and yet unresolved issue was housing. \u003cbr\u003eActivist Kim Jeong-ha, who decided to join forces with the Jeonjangyeon, proposes to the Seokam Foundation struggle parties a fight to build that 'home' together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Marronnier Park sit-in in 2009 was a product of that solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, it was a reckless and unprecedented struggle in which every little thing in daily life, such as eating, sleeping, and washing, became a problem.\u003cbr\u003e However, everyone's will to do it until it is done eventually creates a 'miracle'.\u003cbr\u003e They contact Mayor Oh Se-hoon and establish the first deinstitutionalization policy in Korean society.\u003cbr\u003e With this, a plan to introduce an experience home where people who have left the facility can prepare for independence and an independent living home where they can live for up to five years has been announced, and eight severely disabled people will officially be admitted to Pyeongwonjae, an independent living home operated by the Social Welfare Foundation.\u003cbr\u003e It was a great achievement achieved after two months of homeless protests by people with disabilities and non-disabled activists, who cooked and ate meals together every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Birth of a Facility Leading Deinstitutionalization: From the Seokam Foundation to the Social Welfare Corporation Freewell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While these changes were taking place outside, a fierce struggle continued inside the facility where the Marronniers had kicked out the eight.\u003cbr\u003e After the continuous raising of issues and exerting influence by the deinstitutionalization activists, in 2009, the Seokam Foundation changed its name to 'Freewell Social Welfare Corporation' and was able to break away from its past history.\u003cbr\u003e It was in 2013 that the progressive management, which championed the human rights and social integration of people with disabilities, succeeded in completely driving out the corrupt forces within the Seokam Foundation.\u003cbr\u003e After that, Freewell began to actively support residents' deinstitutionalization.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Jeong-ha, an activist who led the deinstitutionalization movement at the forefront, announced a plan to quickly and safely deinstitutionalize all residents of Hyangyu House (formerly Seokam Bethesda Nursing Home) under his control as soon as he took office as chairman in 2018. \u003cbr\u003eIn 2021, three years later, that plan became a reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In two interviews conducted from just before the closure of Hyangyu House to after, the residents appeared to be more free and lively.\u003cbr\u003e Hwang In-hyeon confessed that when Han Gyu-seon, a resident who had fought alongside him, and the Marronnier Eight (including Kim Dong-rim) left on their own, he felt sad but also understood.\u003cbr\u003e He took on the challenge of independent living through the experience home under the Hyangyu House in 2010 and is currently living in a rental apartment in Gimpo.\u003cbr\u003e It is difficult to live comfortably with only about 1.01 million won, which is the basic living allowance and disability pension combined, but I am satisfied with being able to do what I want, when I want, with 24-hour activity support.\u003cbr\u003e In 2011, he and his colleagues led the expansion of call taxis for the disabled in Gimpo City through activities at the Gimpo Center for Independent Living for the Disabled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eYang Nam-yeon (71 years old) and Moon Young-sun (60s), who joined the last group of people to leave the Hyangyu House facility on March 3, 2021, are now living independently in a supportive housing unit for the disabled.\u003cbr\u003e Yang Nam-yeon says he still needs to adjust to living in the community, but he clearly states, “I’m not living in confinement.”\u003cbr\u003e Moon Young-soon was also very happy that she had her own space, something she could not have in the noisy facility.\u003cbr\u003e He was drawing a scene where he invited his family and had a great time chatting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDeinstitutionalization Without Excluding Anyone: Stories from Deinstitutionalization Workers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Behind this great transformation, there was also the pain of those who could not simply happily accept deinstitutionalization.\u003cbr\u003e This was the case with facility staff who had lived with residents for decades. \u003cbr\u003eIn 2008, when some residents (the Marronnier Eight) left the facility without returning even after the struggle with the Seokam Foundation ended, and when Freewell, which had been reborn in 2009 after ousting the corrupt forces of the Seokam Foundation, announced a plan to deinstitutionalize all residents, the staff could not help but feel great despair.\u003cbr\u003e As the world of the residents changed drastically, the world of the employees fell apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kang Min-jeong, the last office manager who completed the process of closing down the facility after all residents had left, joined Hyangyu House in 2002 when it was still called Seokam Bethesda Nursing Home.\u003cbr\u003e He started his career as a life rehabilitation instructor and was a veteran who had been supporting the lives of residents from the very beginning, including meals, bathing, and leisure activities.\u003cbr\u003e For him, the word ‘deinstitutionalization’ brought about a sense of self-loathing. \u003cbr\u003e\"I'm sure you don't have only bad memories, but did you really hate Hyangyu House that much? Seeing that the place I work is a place some people desperately want to escape from makes me feel guilty as an employee.\u003cbr\u003e “Are we trapping the residents?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The same was true for Park Jong-sun and Kim Man-sun, both of whom have been rehabilitation instructors for 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e They were the ones who supported the residents with all their strength and heart, even while having to watch their step in the oppressive facility environment.\u003cbr\u003e They took the long-standing abuse and human rights violations against residents very seriously and worked tirelessly to stop such behavior.\u003cbr\u003e When the residents began their fight against the Seokam Foundation, the reason I went to the scene of the struggle and helped them both materially and spiritually was because of my deep respect, affection, and solidarity with the residents. \u003cbr\u003eBy joining the residents' struggle, the staff were able to form a union, and through their activities, they were able to uncover the dark truths about the foundation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, as the struggle targeting the foundation's board of directors expanded into a movement to deinstitutionalize, the staff were no longer able to join the residents' fight.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Jeong-ha, an activist who led the residents' deinstitutionalization and became the chairman of Freewell in 2018, says that the division and conflict were inevitable.\u003cbr\u003e “The more you fight, the more your sense of rights grows, and so what you see changes.\u003cbr\u003e “It may seem like we’ve become divided and distant due to specific incidents and triggers, but in reality, I think we’ve entered a period where people with disabilities can no longer be on the same level as facility staff as their awareness of their rights has grown.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Despite this, the deinstitutionalization activists and facility staff did not give up on each other. \u003cbr\u003eThe deinstitutionalization activists asked the staff to stand by and watch over them, rather than join the fight. As the staff witnessed the lives of the independent residents change, they began to reflect on their own skepticism about deinstitutionalization.\u003cbr\u003e This was also a process of reflecting on the entire facility life that the person and the resident had experienced together for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At a meeting held after the closure of the Hyangyu House, staff members unanimously said that they had seen expressions on the residents they had never seen before, and that he had become a completely different person.\u003cbr\u003e The employees who exchanged such updates had smiles on their faces.\u003cbr\u003e “The social worker who works with him said that his expression has changed.\u003cbr\u003e You know what that means? Living in the house I signed a contract for, the way I want, is a whole other life. \u003cbr\u003e“There are things you can tell just by looking at his facial expression.” (Kang Min-jeong)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Freewell never gave up on his employees.\u003cbr\u003e Chairman Kim Jeong-ha worked hard to ensure that employees would continue to work while the facility was being closed, and all but three employees were able to start new jobs.\u003cbr\u003e Most of the rehabilitation instructors have transitioned to activities support positions outside the facility, and many have moved to other facilities, experience homes, or supportive housing under Freewell.\u003cbr\u003e Freewell achieved deinstitutionalization without excluding anyone, solely through his own strength and will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Real Reasons for Opposition or Fear: Beyond the Dichotomy of ‘Institutionalization-Deinstitutionalization’\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 《The Road Home》 also paid attention to the voices of residents who opposed deinstitutionalization until the very end, and of residents who achieved independence through deinstitutionalization but still had mixed feelings about both the institution and deinstitutionalization. \u003cbr\u003eTheir utterances require a more careful and complex reading.\u003cbr\u003e For example, what implications does the story of Lee Jeong-ja, a person with a disability who freely admits, \"I think I was better off in the facility,\" hold for us? Should we interpret this as a literal opposition to deinstitutionalization or a celebration of the institution? To answer this question, we must first examine his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lee Jeong-ja, who became disabled after being involved in a train accident, entered Seokam Bethesda Nursing Home at the age of 46.\u003cbr\u003e He excessively praises the former corrupt Chairman\/Chairman Lee Bu-il, who is the main culprit in making the facility a place rife with corruption, violence, and human rights abuses, while distancing himself from the residents who organized a struggle to bring this to light, calling them scary and bleak. \u003cbr\u003e“If the chairman hadn’t built this nursing home, where would we have lived?” “After receiving that money (disability allowance), my family members became very mean and left.\u003cbr\u003e The kids were getting cocky and weird.\u003cbr\u003e scared.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But ironically, this kind of praise for Chairman Lee Bu-il stems from the long-standing labor exploitation he endured.\u003cbr\u003e The facility relieved him of his workload by having him, a moderately disabled person, care for more severely disabled people. They also registered him as an employee without actually paying him a salary, and used his future salary to pay other employees for errands.\u003cbr\u003e All he was given was some supplies and food sponsored by outside companies.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, in his statement that he 'worked willingly without thinking about money,' we paradoxically see the behavior of the facility that exploited his care work for free. \u003cbr\u003eIt may be only natural that he, who believed that the facility offered him, who was paralyzed from the waist down and unable to move, a chance to recover through work, would perceive leaving the facility as a scary and burdensome change.\u003cbr\u003e This is a serious human rights issue that must be addressed separately from his pride in his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, the fear of deinstitutionalization is linked to the nature of the community outside the facility, and even the society itself in which we live.\u003cbr\u003e People often say, 'The facility is a prison.'\u003cbr\u003e But this statement is only half true, unless the following fact is added:\u003cbr\u003e Before the facility, the community, that is, society itself, is a prison.\u003cbr\u003e It was the local community that created the facility in the first place, and the separation and control imposed on the weak and minorities, including the disabled, are for 'us', not 'them.' \u003cbr\u003eThe oppression and violence that occurs within the facility is none other than the attitude of society outside the facility toward them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA movement to change 'relationships' rather than 'living spaces': For the countless de-institutionalized buildings that will emerge in the future.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The relationship between residents and staff in a facility is the same as the relationship between people with disabilities and people without disabilities in our society.\u003cbr\u003e “The fact that that relationship is changing means that the relationships in society as a whole are changing.” (Hong Eun-jeon)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, deinstitutionalization is not just a matter of moving living spaces.\u003cbr\u003e Deinstitutionalization is a movement that seeks to fundamentally change the discriminatory relationship between people with and without disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e 《The Road Home》 is also a book about that very relationship. \u003cbr\u003eThe story of a disabled person who bravely attempted to leave the facility despite harsh conditions, as well as the story of a disabled person who refused to leave the facility until the moment they left, the story of a staff member who supported the independence and happiness of residents but felt a sense of guilt at the word “deinstitutionalization” and could not accept the closure of the facility in the end, and the story of a deinstitutionalization activist and facility manager who coordinated all of these conflicts and led changes inside and outside the facility unfolds in a diverse spectrum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This configuration allows us to think of the facility not simply as a 'prison' but as a place where complex relationships operate within it.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, we can visualize the evolving nature of that relationship in three dimensions.\u003cbr\u003e That is precisely why the voices of facility staff are as valuable as the voices of people with disabilities. \u003cbr\u003eWhat the resident changed was not only his own life, but also the countless relationships surrounding him.\u003cbr\u003e First of all, the employees who worked at the facility changed.\u003cbr\u003e After seeing independent disabled people living in the community as fellow citizens, they wholeheartedly supported the residents' deinstitutionalization and joyfully realized how much prejudice they themselves had been surrounded by.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thus, one of the strongholds of discrimination and oppression was finally torn down.\u003cbr\u003e It was none other than relationships that made the dream come true in just 12 years, something that was thought to take 200 years to achieve.\u003cbr\u003e As the relationships within the facility changed, the facility also changed.\u003cbr\u003e The abolition of the Hyangyu House will cause even bigger waves in the future.\u003cbr\u003e Now it's up to our fellow citizens.\u003cbr\u003e Let's embark on a \"journey of adventure and freedom\" following the path pioneered by eight disabled people.\u003cbr\u003e A 'way home' and a 'journey back to oneself'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“No one lives in Hyangyu House, where 120 people once lived together.\u003cbr\u003e “They will all return to their communities and live their own lives, free, precarious, joyful, and sad, in their own homes.” (Hong Eun-jeon)
