This essay examines the ethical and methodological challenges of researching and representing the "forgotten war" in Korea (1950-1953). Focusing on the experiences of Korean Americans, the author argues that conventional historical approaches often erase the ongoing presence of the past in the present. By engaging with performance theory and the concept of entanglement, the essay proposes an alternative methodology that acknowledges the complex and often contradictory ways in which the war continues to shape the lives of Korean Americans. The author explores how personal narratives, family histories, and cultural memories intersect with official historical accounts, creating a fragmented and contested landscape of remembrance. Through an analysis of specific performances and artistic representations, the essay demonstrates how Korean Americans negotiate their relationship to the war and its aftermath, challenging dominant narratives and reclaiming their own stories
