02 South Korea – Pyong-Jung, Downtown Seoul Boy

by Satoshi Kako

Pyong-Jung is an eleven year old boy who lives in downtown Seoul, next to a soccer stadium. His days are packed with soccer games after school, trips to his favourite topokki rice cake stand, as well as plenty of homework and extra study. Pyong-Jung throws himself into his work and his play with equal enthusiasm, and his family and school life is captured here in images and text.
