“March Christmas”: Seoul’s final warning of heavy snowfall [Hangang-ro Photo Studio]

March 18, 2025

The Hangang-ro Photo Studio is a corner created by the photojournalists of Segye Ilbo. There are many different ways to see the world. I see with my eyes and I hear with my ears. Sometimes I feel it with my whole body. Photojournalists see the world through their cameras every day. I can't include everything on the reporting site, but I try to include meaningful elements. And then I press the shutter with a slightly selfish gaze. We will decorate the photo studio by weaving together photos from different perspectives.
