Another Witnesses

In addition to ><, ▲, there is research data studied by many researchers on the Gyonam-dong region.
Photographers, artists, and many foreign visitors also roamed this place to record and collect, and created them into works.
Why did they pay attention to this matter?

From what kind of perspective did they want to view this place?
The times and traces of this place that have crossed modern times are now being replaced by towering apartment buildings.
Since then, Okbaraji (prison support) Alley and the area around Yeongcheon Market have been redeveloped one after another,
and neglected hanok houses have been demolished again and again for the purpose of redevelopment in the Sajik-dong area.
Despite efforts to revitalise the city, redevelopment continues due to those who are still frantic for surplus value.

Where did the common idea that old buildings have to be demolished and redeveloped come from?
Of course, this is not to support preserving unquestioningly.
The images of so-called developed countries that have strict laws to preserve old buildings and brand them as if they were proud of their accumulated history, countries that enjoyed colonies, do not always look pleasing. Rather than simply being an object to follow, thinking about how to re-examine forced modernization, histories of abuses, and values overlooked by the country's politicians and vested interests who collaborated with them remains a challenge.
