In 1928, his second older brother died from illness then he received the news of his father's death from the Japanese archipelago. Afterwards, Tal-su and his grandmother experienced great austerity. He did not have a chance to learn the Korean language or go to schools whose courses were conducted in Korean.
 * When Talsu was ten-year-old, he was brought to the Japanese archipelago by his first older brother. Although his grandmother received care from the family that her daughter was married into, Talsu's grandmother died. Talsu did not have a chance to meet his grandmother ever again.
 * In 1931, Talsu entered the "Oui Normal Night School" as a first-year student. Although he learned simple things like reading, writing, and math, it was his first time to receive education in the Japanese language.
