Punks in Ko rea


"The world commonly perceives South Korea as enjoying its national prosperity (particularly when compared to their brothers in the North), but all is not well on the streets of Hongdae, the student district of downtown Seoul. Forced to deal with the pressures of conforming to the country’s repressive conservative ideals, compulsory military service for all men, and an increasingly right-wing, power hungry government, they’re fed up. All that stuff naturally leads to punk."
