PSA: I asked my grandma about her family's history in front of my cousins in Seoul

Honestly, I just wanted to know more about our ancestors, but the room went totally silent for a full minute. I learned that directly asking elders about certain past events, especially around the Korean War, is a huge no-go in our family. Has anyone else accidentally stepped into a family history minefield like that?

My aunt once asked why we never visit a certain city, and my dad just got up and left the room.

Wait, shouldn't we be the ones asking those hard questions?
