Kim Jun Myung, who goes by the nickname “Uncle,” is Shin’s cellmate during his time in the underground prison of Camp 14. Uncle is a kind, educated man—Shin assumes that he must have been someone important before he was sent to Camp 14. He takes good care of Shin, even treating his wounds resourcefully, and he also tells Shin entertaining stories about life outside Camp 14. In all, Uncle is the first person in Shin’s entire life to treat him with consistent kindness and respect.
