Today is the 50th anniversary of Jeon Tae-il, a korean worker and labour activist who suicided by burning himself to call of implementation for basic labour laws. If you want to know korean modern history briefly, I strongly recommend to know Jeon's life(I suggest to search 'Jeon Tae-Il' on wikipedia). I think the original photograph of Jeon is too common and did not take his caring and humane personalities. Most of all, he was a tailor. If he live with our generation, he must be one of the top progressive fashion artists. Though he was also paid very poor, he usually bought 'Poul-bbang'-one of the korea's most popular and cheap street foods, looks like fish-for young female workers, who did not have enough money to buy meal.
