ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The economy of Korea is not good in these days. The company enforces an honorary retirement for the employees who are in their late forties. However, they are ages that need a lot of money to raise their children. So they are forced to the highest intensity of labor in order not to be kicked out of the company. The photographs were taken at times and places that could not be found in the workplace. Men in the picture are estimated to be unemployed.
