Greetings sweet viewers!
On Jindo Island
off the southeast coast
of South Korea,
the residents are proud of
their native dog,
the Jindo dog.
The musical,
"White Heart Baekgu,"
is based on the true story
of one Jindo Island dog
named Baekgu.
In 1995, Baekgu,
meaning “white dog,”
traveled over 300 km
over seven months
to return
to her original caregiver
after being taken
to the mainland.
Please enjoy
this children’s musical
that brave Baekgu inspired,
a production by
Yeil Musical Company
from South Korea.
The wide wide sea
That high high sky
That sea is all ours
That sky must all be ours
They’ll last forever
like children’s hearts
Hey, Pansuk!
Huh? That’s Sori’s voice.
You guys left me out!
I’ll make you pay for that.
Hey guys!
Let’s hide! Come on!
Let’s go!
Pansuk,
just wait till I get you!
Huh?
Where have they gone?
Fine, you think
I can’t find you?
Huh? Where are they?
Maybe over here?
Hmm. Are they over there?
Where did they all hide?
Where on Earth
did they all hide?
Oh! It’s a doggy.
Wow, it’s so pretty.
Hey, what’s your name?
Hm? You don’t know?
You’re silly not to
even know your name.
I’m Sori.
Glad to meet you.
Let’s shake hands.
Wow, you know
how to shake! Hi!
You look so cute.
How beautiful!
You’re pretty and as bright
as peach flowers there.
Where did you get lost?
Why are you alone outside?
Come here, doggy!
Wow! She’s really pretty.
Yes?
Hi, isn’t she beautiful?
Wow.
In last night’s dream,
an angel in a white dress
gave me a gift
and went away
It must be you
That’s why you are
as white as snow
We’ll live together now
Wow!
Hey, doggy friend!
I just shook hands with her.
Really? Let me try.
Okay. Try.
Shake! Shake!
Oh?
She doesn’t listen to you.
Tada, Dongyee!
Pansuk!
Not attractive.
Sori, where did you
get the dog?
From the sky.
From the sky?
I mean it.
She came down
from the sky.
Stop kidding me.
I’m serious.
That’s why
her fur is white.
I still can’t believe it.
How could a dog
come down from the sky?
Then don’t believe me.
If she had wings,
it’d be a different matter.
Sori, let’s go
make her a house.
Okay, Dongyee! Let’s go!
Wow!
Guys, let’s go!
Sori!
No, boo!
Let’s build the house
before the sun goes down
Now it’s done
and it’s really beautiful
Is this Dongyee’s house?
It is, alright.
Oh, it’s Mrs. Bengduk!
Guys, hide! Min-seon!
Is anyone home?
Who’s there? Huh?
It’s me, Mrs. Bengduk.
How are you,
Mrs. Bengduk?
Oh my!
You have made such
a beautiful dog house.
Yes.
Yes? Oh my goodness!
What are you looking at?
Oh my goodness!
What is that?
I’ll give you
yummy food soon, okay?
Please wait a moment,
doggie.
Is that my Whitey?
Oh goodness gracious!
Whitey!
It’s really her,
it’s our Whitey alright!
Ma’am…
Kids! I’m home.
I’ll take you home.
Dad!
How you doing, Sori?
Good, Dad!
How are you, Dad?
Dongyee! (Daddy…)
Glad to see you!
How are you, ma’am?
What brought you here?
Someone stole my Whitey.
Someone stole Whitey?
My husband lost the dog
to a thief
on his way to the market.
So I was searching for her
throughout the village.
And found
your kids are the ones
that had stolen my Whitey.
Ma’am, please take back
what you said.
What?
That dog was lost
and left alone.
So Sori brought her here.
That’s right!
Okay, whatever.
Since I found my Whitey,
I’ll take her with me now.
Please go away.
Go on and take him away.
Dongyee.
Oh my,
what a temper he’s got!
Okay, Whitey, let’s go!
Yes, yes, let’s go.
Dongyee, the dog…
Mrs. Bengduk!
Did you call me?
The dog,
would you sell her to us?
What? (Oh?)
Oh, sure, why not!
I was going to sell her
at the market, anyway.
Great!
How much
do you want to buy it?
Why don’t you
have a seat here?
This one is expensive.
Oh is she? Here, please.
I’m not sure
but she’s probably worth
10 sacks of rice.
I see, 10 sacks of rice –
what?!
Ouch!
Oh my! Oh, I’m sorry.
It hurts! Sir, hands off!
Oh my bottom hurts. Ow.
Could you possibly give
me a discount, please?
There are plenty of
brown Jindo dogs
but white Jindos
like this one are rare.
If you don’t want it, I’ll
sell her to someone else.
Let’s go, Whitey!
Ouch, my bottom.
Oh! Daddy!
Okay! I’ll buy the dog.
Oh, Dad!
Eh? Why, are you sure?
Of course.
I’ll set out on my ship
at dawn
and make the payment
as soon as I return.
Wow!
You’ve got a deal.
I’ve got children of my own,
so I can’t refuse.
Alright, you take this dog.
Really?
Hey guys, come out!
Oh my! Where did they
all come from?
Halo, ma’am!
Halo, sir!
Hi, guys!
Thank you, Dad! (Sure.)
Thank you very much,
Mrs. Bengduk.
Don’t mention it.
Wow, doggy!
At any rate,
don’t forget to pay me.
If you don’t,
I’ll take the dog back
at double the price!
Don’t worry.
I’ll definitely keep my word.
Doggy!
Oh, goodness,
I have to get going.
See you later. (See you.)
Good-bye, Mrs. Bengduk!
Now don’t just love the dog,
give her a good name,
alright? (A name?)
She’s not
your ordinary dog.
Yes, what shall I name her?
Vacuum cleaner.
Okay.
You’ve got to give her
a nice name now.
Yes, Dad, please give her
a pretty name.
Okay, let me think.
Vacuum cleaner.
Hey kids!
Do you have a name
in mind?
Baekgu!
Pardon? (Baekgu!)
Baekgu, I like Baekgu!
Baekgu?
Yes, it’s a white dog
so Baekgu (white dog)
sounds good.
Wow, it’s a great name,
Dad! (It is.)
Yes, I like the name, too,
Daddy.
Hey doggy!
Your name is Baekgu
from now on, Baekgu.
Wow, Baekgu!
You’re the best!
All right.
I have to prepare
for the sailing tomorrow,
so you guys
play with Baekgu.
Yes, Daddy!
Yes.
Good-bye, Dad!
Good-bye, sir!
Play nicely together!
Okay!
Daddy, you’re the best!
My father calls you Baekgu
‘cause you’re a white dog
My father calls you Baekgu
‘cause you’re
white Baekgu,
do you know what is
in the deep blue sea?
Let’s fill our heart
with dreams
Looking at the flaming sun
over the horizon there
Let’s nurture our dreams
What is in the wavy sea?
I’m wondering about
the blue sky
and the red sun
Goodbye! Huh?
Sori! (Yes.)
The ship is coming.
Really?
Dad!
But I don’t see Dad.
Me neither.
Strange!
He must have heard us.
What happened to Dad…?
I’m sure he’s okay,
he’s inside the ship. Dad!
Sori! Sori!
Sori! Dongyee!
What happened, Pansuk?
Your dad….
Our dad?
What about our dad?
Into the sea… (What?)
What into the sea?
He fell off into the sea!
No!
What did you say?
Dad’s on the ship.
Dad must be
inside the ship!
Come with me, Baekgu!
Sori!
Dad! Sori’s here!
Sori!
Answer me, Dad!
Dad… Dad!
Dad! Dad! Dad!
Some time later...
Sori! And Dongyee!
Where have they
gone off to again?
On the orchard path to
the outskirts of the village...
Come with me, Baekgu!
Baekgu,
catch me if you can!
Where have you two been?
Halo, Mrs. Bengduk.
Hi, and how’s Baekgu?
Huh? Why do you ask
about Baekgu?
Why do I ask?
Please
don’t talk about Baekgu.
Dad passed away
because of Baekgu!
What in the world?
What are you taking about?
I sold her
at a bargain for you.
Goodness! By the way,
didn’t you hear the news?
What news?
A visitor came here
from the mainland
to buy Baekgu. (Pardon?)
Buy our Baekgu?
What? You don’t want
to sell Baekgu?
Please
it’s none of your business.
I won’t sell Baekgu.
I said
I’m not selling Baekgu!
Okay, then.
I’m leaving now.
But when you need me,
you’re always welcome
to come to me, okay?
I’ll help you sell Baekgu
at a high price.
The visitor said
he would make Baekgu
a fighting dog.
What? A fighting dog?
A white dog like Baekgu
is made for fighting.
Besides,
she would meet her mother
at the dog fighting ring.
Goodness, hey!
You know, no matter what,
you have to
treat Sori’s illness.
Chances don’t come
too often,
you understand? Alright.
Please, go away!
And please
don’t ever come back!
Oh! Oh,
you are so stubborn.
Anyway, when you need me,
come down to
the Date Tree Village, eh?
Oh I do feel sorry
for that tiny girl.
Dongyee,
what is a fighting dog?
A dog that fights.
Fights?
Yes, if Baekgu becomes
a fighting dog,
you can be cured!
Huh? Do what to Baekgu?
No, I’m sorry! I’m wrong.
I despise you!
How could you even
think of making Baekgu
a fighter dog!
I’m sorry,
but we need money
to buy medicine for you.
No!
I’m not going to be sick.
Sori!
Even if I’m sick, I will
never part with Baekgu.
No, I won’t.
Sori! Are you okay?
Wake up, Sori!
Don’t collapse, Sori!
Hang in there!
I’ll go to the town
to get some medicine.
Hang in there, Sori!
You too, Baekgu!
When love leaves
and the tear drops fall,
deep sorrow
fills my small heart.
Baekgu! I’m sorry!
We have to part.
Wherever you are
you have to be well. Okay?
As the musical
continues tomorrow,
we’ll find out how Baekgu
ends up being taken
hundreds of miles away
across land and sea,
and then makes
an incredible journey
back home
to the family she loves.

Halo friendly viewers!
The musical,
"White Heart Baekgu,"
is based on the true story
from South Korea
of one Jindo Island dog
named Baekgu.
In the previous part
of our presentation,
we met a little girl
named Sori, who
found a lovely white dog
and brought her home.
When the dog’s owner
Mrs. Bengduk came
looking for her dog, Whitey,
Sori’s father offers
to buy the dog from her.
But just afterward,
the children’s kind father
passes away
in an accident.
The children manage
to keep their beloved dog
Baekgu, but soon, young
Sori becomes very sick.
She desperately
needs medicine.
Join us as we continue
this children’s musical by
Yeil Musical Company
from South Korea.
All alone, Sori and
her older brother Dongyee
have no choice
but to part with Baekgu
in order to
save Sori’s life.
Mrs. Bengduk sells Baekgu
to a person in a city
far away on the mainland.
Baekgu is then thrown
into the cruel world
of a dog fighting ring,
where dogs risk their lives
just for
heartless entertainment.
It is here that Baekgu is
reunited with her mother.
Is this really real?
Are you really my mom?
Time has passed
And I have
met my mom here
I miss those
happy moments
Tears well up in my eyes
But I’ll never cry again
Because I’ll have to
go back home someday.
Baekgu is eventually
wounded in a fight.
Are you alright, Baekgu?
But Baekgu, Baekgu,
you mustn’t stay here.
This isn’t a place
where you belong.
You must escape from here.
You must
go back your home.
Mom is old now.
I’m useless. Hurry!
It’s dangerous to be here.
Go now, go!
Take care of yourself.
Baekgu!
Go now.
I can’t go. I can’t go.
I won’t go alone.
I would rather stay here.
You have your caregivers.
They are waiting for you,
your caregivers.
Looking at the moon,
at the moon, I made a vow
Looking at the stars,
at the stars,
I sang A happy childhood
is vivid in my memory
but time flies
Once green,
now fallen leaves
scattered on the street
The wind blows
with lonesomeness
through my fur
Looking at the moon,
at the moon, I made a vow
Looking at the stars,
at the stars,I sang
Now I want to go back
Run, run
Run, run, run
No matter how rough
the road back home is
Farewell, Baekgu
Despite the rain and wind,
thunder and lighting,
you must not look back
because you must go home.
Dongyee, how do you think
Baekgu is doing now?
She’s probably doing
alright.
I wasn’t so nice to her
at first,
but they say the person
who took Baekgu
is very rich.
Really?
Then, Baekgu must be
eating lots of delicious food.
Yay,
I’m excited for Baekgu!
Perhaps, her ears
stand up straight now
and her legs grew
all long and slim.
I really miss Baekgu.
Pointy ears and long legs
and soft fur…
How clever you are.
Oh my, who’s that?
Isn’t that Sori
and Dongyee?
Hey, kids!
What are you doing
out here?
Halo, Mrs. Bagduk.
Hi, what are you doing
outdoors
in such cold weather?
Are you waiting for
Baekgu again?
Baekgu will come.
She’ll come back to Sori,
ma’am.
What?
Baekgu will come home?
Yes, ma’am,
Baekgu will come home.
Right, Dongyee?
Yes, Sori.
Oh poor things!
It’s been all this time
since Baekgu was sold
and she’ll return?
Besides,
she’s far away from here,
more than 1,000 miles!
Goodness,
so no need to tremble
in the cold weather.
Hurry
and go inside the house
or you’ll catch a cold.
No, we’ll wait here outside.
We’ll wait for Baekgu.
Okay, as you wish.
Whether you wait or not,
it’s none of my business.
Alright, gosh.
Oh my goodness,
it’s so cold!
Yeah, Sori.
Let’s go in as she says.
You’ll catch a cold.
I’ll wait a little longer,
Dongyee.
If I’m cold, then
Baekgu must be cold too.
Okay, Sori.
Then let’s wait a bit longer.
Really? (Yes.)
I miss Baekgu.
Where are you Baekgu?
The yellow street light
is smiling at you.
The angel is giving back
to us our dream
Giving back
to all the children
in the world their dreams
At the end of long sorrow,
there is always happiness
So pretty and beautiful
I’m trying to
give that happiness today
Give strength
to all the people
in the world
Dongyee, Baekgu
will come back, right?
Of course she will.
It’s cold!
It’s cold, Sori.
Let’s go in
and put on more clothes
and come back.
Okay Dongyee.
Dongyee, it’s snowing!
Wow, it looks like
Baekgu’s white fur!
Yes, Sori.
I have a feeling there
will be good news today!
When Baekgu comes back,
I’ll make her
a nice soy-paste soup.
Really?
Shall we make a snowman?
Sure.
Let’s make the snowman
real big. (Okay.)
You have to
make the big bottom one.
Well if you say so,
I’ll go and...
Sori!
It’s cold! Dongyee!
I’m sorry Sori!
It was my fault.
You better stay put!
Sori.
What’s the matter?
Look over there.
Baekgu is coming back!
Baekgu?
She’s crossing
the Jindo bridge!
She is! I told you
she would come back!
Yes, Sori,
Baekgu is coming back!
Baekgu!
Climbing over mountains
and crossing the ocean
Overcoming snow and wind
She’s back
Street lights
are welcoming her
with a bright smile
Saying halo to me
For home
I’ve run a thousand miles
Oh for love
I’ve run a thousand miles
to this peaceful place
I’ve come back to this place
to this beautiful place
I made it back
I said I would
I said I’d come back
I said I would
I said someday
I’d come back
There, that village
is my hometown
The house
where I used to live
in my childhood
is there where white smoke
from thatched houses
rises up in clouds
Where kids would
follow an oxcart
I’ve come back to this place
I’ve come back
to this beautiful place
I’ve come back home
I’ve come back
to my sweet home
Thousand miles
searching for my caregiver
Thousand miles
searching for love
I’ve come back
to this beautiful place
I’ve come back
(to this beautiful place)
to this peaceful place
I’ve come back
I’ve come back again
I’ve come back again
Baekgu!
Looking at you
who has returned
I have tears in my eyes
I’ve been thinking of you
every day
Waiting for you
I felt we were
going to meet again
But how did you
come back?
Oh my goodness,
what happened?
What a big surprise!
The impossible
has happened!
Mrs. Bengduk!
Oh my, Dongyee!
How on Earth
did Baekgu come back?
She can’t even speak,
how did he come back?
I told you
Baekgu would find
her way back to Sori!
You’re right, I was wrong!
Children of the world
Let’s all love each other
Just like Baekgu
who came back
Let’s love
Let’s love one another
Never changing love
and friendship
Never changing love
and friendship
Love and friendship forever
Love and friendship forever
Baekgu!
Today, Baekgu’s village
is named after her, and
her heartwarming story
lives on
in a monument, a statue,
and in people’s hearts
throughout the land.
