Hangook Ilbo


An empty lot on the corner.

Behind me.


This building has been condemned.

I could hear people inside smashing things. It looked like they were trying to smash out one of the windows too.

Just up the block, there was a small army of riot police.



Toward Gyungbokgoong.

The security fence.

I found an abandoned gas station used as a parking lot.


I walked around behind the buildings and found an old fashioned neighbourhood.


This was a friendly cat.

Still muddy from Sindaebang.

Relaxing on the job.

A couple other abandoned buildings.

Not abandoned.

This is filthy.

Everything down there was abandoned.




A rough looking stray.

This building was abandoned.

You can tell what is abandoned and what isn't by the windows.



Construction nearby.

Roofing tiles.


Inside the gas station.



These were up on the front of the Ilbo building.

Lots of police.



The tower on top of the Ilbo.
