Donghyun LEE, Old man with badge (Portrait 2020)

There is a famous place in Seoul where old people gather who have no place to go or have nothing to do. "Tapgol Park" If you go there, there are a lot of old people who spend their time playing Go or drinking. They entered the Korean War or were born and ruined in those countries It is a generation that created a country called Korea by miracle of the Han River. Great generation. But now it's a socially abandoned generation. Because they are too old. Old and stuffy generation. I wanted to shoot them, so I shot them randomly. Most of them were badgers. It was a coincidence and I was curious about what old men were holding badges for. The badge was a veteran badge. They proudly wore all their clothes. In Korea, the treatment of veterans is lower than in other countries. Of course we respect and thank you. But only thought. So I want to light it again.
