work \"The Path to Poverty\" published in [Hankyoreh 21] from April 2015 to May 2016.\u003cbr\u003e An 'incident' occurred where the owner of a building that was trying to remodel a boarding house into a guesthouse for foreign travelers notified the people who occupied the rooms to vacate.\u003cbr\u003e After that, the building owner's repeated construction attempts, resistance from residents, power outages and water cuts, demolition, relocation, legal battles, construction halts, patching up the yellow house, and returning home followed. \u003cbr\u003eAfter the court accepted the residents' request for an injunction to halt construction, some of the people who were evicted returned to the building, but many did not return.\u003cbr\u003e At the time, the author followed the entire process of the incident and reported on the ‘aftermath’ of the incident for a year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can

diffuse, while some poverty is concentrated.\u003cbr\u003e Poverty is invisible because it is hidden and covered.\u003cbr\u003e The story of poverty was in the yellow house.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The maggots grew shiny and fleshy as they devoured the immobile man.\u003cbr\u003e The creatures born from eating the disappearing humans wriggled fiercely and fiercely.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Food was for the living.\u003cbr\u003e The living filled their hungry bellies with the food prepared by those who died of hunger.\u003cbr\u003e Hungry pigeons dug their beaks into the park ground in search of food.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.17\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSummoned to a time when the king was removed, the great king saw a world where a piece of paper engraved with him sat on the throne instead of his own bloodline.\u003cbr\u003e The wise king knew that he was not a king because he was a king, but because he had money.\u003cbr\u003e The great king realized only after he became rich that the king was not a noble official but a strict figure only to the poor people.\u003cbr\u003e To those who had kings in abundance, he was a piece of paper, but to those who were saddened by not having a king, he was treated as a king.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.21~22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Everyone had to run to avoid starving.\u003cbr\u003e Some people run with hotteok, some run with corn, and some run with humanity.\u003cbr\u003e All kinds of curses flying from all over the place followed me around all day.\u003cbr\u003e Living was sometimes about eating each other's insides.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That was the main point. \u003cbr\u003eBuildings that could not be main anywhere else were main in that neighborhood.\u003cbr\u003e Poverty was the main problem in that neighborhood.\u003cbr\u003e In a neighborhood where poor rooms make up the main building, the most abundant thing was poverty.\u003cbr\u003e People who had never been main characters opened their locked voices in the main alley of Dongja-dong.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There was a time when a space that was looked down upon because it was poor became a space that was needed because it was poor.\u003cbr\u003e At the end of the year, the heads of large corporations would show up in the neighborhood with 'donations of love'.\u003cbr\u003e He walked through the alleys with dozens of attendants and photographers.\u003cbr\u003e As the chairman climbed up into the cramped room and looked down at the residents, a photographer who had been waiting in the room took a picture of him (and the residents lying face down on the floor) in one shot.\u003cbr\u003e When it was time for the presidential election, the current president's wife and the ruling and opposition party presidential candidates came and took the microphone, and during the local elections, candidates for mayor, district head, and city\/provincial council members came and took the microphone. \u003cbr\u003eThey declared during every election season that they would 'take care of you first', and as soon as the election was over, they were the first to forget about 'you'.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whenever times become violent, history throws up the broken on street corners like spoiled food.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This world, which had hoped that optimism would reverse pessimism even just once, has spit him out into the ring of \"fate\" and \"effort,\" judging him with a bystander's gaze, saying, \"The results are your responsibility.\" (p. 182)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Proverbs were the worldview of those who used language.\u003cbr\u003e In that world, misfortune was only the lot of the unfortunate.\u003cbr\u003e The life of the speechless people took full responsibility in their proverbs.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And that's what I thought.\u003cbr\u003e Survive, whether on the battlefield or in the desert.\u003cbr\u003e Survive, whether at sea or on the farm.\u003cbr\u003e Whether in a restaurant or a bar, survive.\u003cbr\u003e Clean up shit, fuck, survive. \u003cbr\u003eSell ​​your body or sell your heart, survive.\u003cbr\u003e Let's survive.\u003cbr\u003e Even if it's dirty and shabby, let's survive.\u003cbr\u003e He who survives is the hero.\u003cbr\u003e Survival is revenge.\u003cbr\u003e It is a pledge made as if casting a spell.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Poverty that has once accumulated will accumulate again even after it has dispersed.\u003cbr\u003e People who bore the scars of the road on their bodies lived together as neighbors at the end of the road, then scattered, and then gathered again.\u003cbr\u003e They were like drops of water in a puddle.\u003cbr\u003e The water droplets that bounced off the rocks didn't fly far and flowed back into the puddle.\u003cbr\u003e Poverty gathers because there is nowhere to go.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Choi Yong-gu was Choi Yong-gu, but he wasn't Choi Yong-gu.\u003cbr\u003e Choi Yong-gu was Choi Yong-gu, but he was not the Choi Yong-gu the police should be holding accountable.\u003cbr\u003e Among the mails that flew in front of Choi Yong-gu, there were many Choi Yong-gu.\u003cbr\u003e Because of the Choi Yong-gu(s) who stole Choi Yong-gu, Choi Yong-gu has been living while running away from the name Choi Yong-gu.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.353\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs I came out of the station, a long line stretched out before my eyes.\u003cbr\u003e The procession created by poverty was visual.\u003cbr\u003e Some roads exposed someone's poverty just by the fact that they were on them.\u003cbr\u003e One person's invisible circumstances were made visible by the procession he belonged to.\u003cbr\u003e The procession flowed down the road, between apartment buildings, and across the park.\u003cbr\u003e As the number of watching eyes increased, the gaps between them became wider.\u003cbr\u003e “The length of the gap was each person’s self-esteem (of not wanting to belong to the line).”\u003cbr\u003e It was a fierce pilgrimage to confront hunger, which was more frightening than shame, even by displaying one's poverty.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nothing changed even though the black magic marker-scribbled sign had been replaced with a plastic sign and the stylish alphabet (Wash!) was twisted around in front of the communal bathroom door.\u003cbr\u003e In the face of the interrupted remodeling, poverty was neither remodeled nor repaired.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.446\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA bright and clear city could not exist on its own.\u003cbr\u003e There must be a land where dark things are driven out, so that a clean and splendid city without them can be completed.\u003cbr\u003e If that unclean land were to disappear, the pure city would not be able to survive.\u003cbr\u003e Like a stain that cannot be wiped away, dozens, hundreds, and thousands of twin lives would live on, buried in the city.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bloodsuckers and blood-suckers were usually on the same path.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The attic was a place to rest, but it wasn't a place you had to return to.\u003cbr\u003e The poor, after being scattered by even a small shock, returned not to that room but 'around that room'.\u003cbr\u003e The way the poor were scattered was that no matter what happened, there was no original place to return to.\u003cbr\u003e The way the poor gathered was that there was no reason to go back, but they could not completely leave. \u003cbr\u003eThe poor, like satellites, hovered around their poor rooms, unable to escape poverty.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ten days after returning home, he became a corpse and left home again.\u003cbr\u003e He died from an unknown misstep.\u003cbr\u003e Poverty was not a cause of death at the autopsy.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Poverty was felt with all five senses.\u003cbr\u003e There was a city where poverty stimulated the five senses and people flocked in.\u003cbr\u003e The neighborhood was located in a land where the city had driven poverty, and the stories of people who had been driven out because of poverty filled each room of the yellow house even after they were re-inhabited.\u003cbr\u003e The walls and doors of the building were covered in yellow, but within the yellow, pitch-black poverty still filled the place.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.542~543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The path of poverty that passed through the yellow house was extending again to ‘yellow houses across the country.’\u003cbr\u003e It was

\u003cbr\u003e\"The Yellow Labyrinth\" is based on a \"forced eviction incident\" that occurred in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e In February 2015, yellow tags were placed on each of the 45 rooms in a building in Dongja-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.\u003cbr\u003e The building owner unilaterally notified everyone to vacate the rooms, giving them one month and ten days to do so.\u003cbr\u003e In the building, which was completed in 1968, 45 poor people lived in each room, which was less than one pyeong in size.\u003cbr\u003e Some people had lived there for 18 years, and most were in their 60s or older.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The world of forty-five residents was struck by lightning.\u003cbr\u003e The eviction notice was posted without warning.\u003cbr\u003e When they woke up like yesterday, ate like yesterday, got some sun like yesterday, drank soju like yesterday, slept like yesterday, and opened their eyes, the residents had a different today than yesterday. \u003cbr\u003e“When I opened the door to the room I had lived in for over 20 years and closed it, there was a yellow color above the door that was so bright it made my eyes ache.” (Page 59)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A few months later, a village of 45 people, made up of slums, was transformed into a desolate shantytown.\u003cbr\u003e Rooms were smashed by hammers, and electricity and water were cut off.\u003cbr\u003e Residents who had been visiting administrative offices to appeal to avoid being evicted were eventually forced to leave their rooms one by one, and those who held out to the end coexisted with the ruins in the cold, dark, and waterless rooms of the building.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book was inspired by author Lee Mun-young's series \"The Path of Poverty,\" which was serialized in the Hankyoreh 21 from April 2015 to May 2016.\u003cbr\u003e An 'incident' occurred where the owner of a building that was trying to remodel a boarding house into a guesthouse for foreign travelers notified the people who occupied the rooms to vacate. \u003cbr\u003eAfter that, the building owner's repeated construction attempts, resistance from residents, power outages and water cuts, demolition, relocation, legal battles, construction halts, patching up the yellow house, and returning home followed.\u003cbr\u003e After the court accepted the residents' request for an injunction to halt construction, some of the people who were evicted returned to the building, but many did not return.\u003cbr\u003e At the time, the author followed the entire process of the incident and reported on the ‘aftermath’ of the incident for a year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Being kicked out by the poor was a daily occurrence.\u003cbr\u003e The 'situation' in which poverty became unshakably solid and entrenched was in the 'daily life after the incident'.\u003cbr\u003e Some people became poor by being kicked out and kicked out again, and some people made money by kicking them out and kicking them out again.\u003cbr\u003e Poverty was not a 'moment of an incident', but rather an accumulation of 'daily life that became a situation after an incident', and it was a structure that isolated, consolidated, and profited from that daily life. \u003cbr\u003eThe author traced where, how, and how far the displaced people moved, and what stories were created over that time.\u003cbr\u003e The 'path to poverty' of those who were driven out was depicted.\u003cbr\u003e And again, the 'poor daily life' continued.\u003cbr\u003e Five years have passed since the incident, but the poor people's daily lives continue as if nothing happened.\u003cbr\u003e After the serialization of \"The Path of Poverty\" ended, the author continued to follow the changes over the next four years, accumulating time.\u003cbr\u003e I added and revised the stories from that time to the story of the first year of forced eviction, and rewrote most of it.\u003cbr\u003e We followed the stories of 45 people over a period of five years.\u003cbr\u003e Five years later, nine of the 45 people had died, leaving 36 alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe three characteristics of this book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1) Investigation after investigation that traces the daily life after the incident\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Yellow Labyrinth\" is a collection of stories built on investigative reporting. \u003cbr\u003e'The Path of Poverty', which follows the lives of displaced people for five years, reveals how this world confines and isolates the poor.\u003cbr\u003e The author followed the migration routes of the forcibly evicted residents and measured the distance they moved one by one.\u003cbr\u003e Thirty out of 45 residents (66.6 percent) moved within 100 meters of the original location.\u003cbr\u003e It felt like I had a 100-meter rope tied around my body and was hovering within the distance the rope allowed.\u003cbr\u003e Most of the residents moved within Dongja-dong.\u003cbr\u003e That was exactly the distance they were allowed to move.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There was one person (2.2 percent) who moved more than 100 meters but less than 1 kilometer.\u003cbr\u003e There were 5 residents (11.1 percent) who moved 1 to 5 kilometers and 5 to 20 kilometers (those who moved to purchased rental housing, those who died and were buried in an unclaimed columbarium, and those who were incarcerated in prison). \u003cbr\u003eOnly one person (2.2 percent) went 20 kilometers outside the home (homeless care facility in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province).\u003cbr\u003e For 3 people (6.6 percent), the area of ​​migration was not confirmed.\u003cbr\u003e The new room they went to after being kicked out of the small room was still a small room.\u003cbr\u003e 31 people (68.8 percent) moved to a small room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “For the poor, there were places they could go and places they could not go.\u003cbr\u003e “An invisible barrier stood in their way.” (p. 508) It was confirmed that the freedom of residence and movement guaranteed by the Constitution was a freedom granted only to those who had the money to purchase freedom.\u003cbr\u003e They were kicked out of a building in the same neighborhood, but they met again in another building in the same neighborhood and became neighbors again.\u003cbr\u003e With extremely limited travel distances, they parted ways and met again.\u003cbr\u003e It was a poverty that could not flow but was sedimented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Five years have passed. \u003cbr\u003e\"The Yellow Labyrinth\" continues the \"exploration after the exploration\" by following the time after the forced eviction incident ended (until February 2020).\u003cbr\u003e Nine of the 45 people died during this period.\u003cbr\u003e One in five residents who were swept away by forced evictions were no longer alive within five years.\u003cbr\u003e The only way out of their path of poverty was death.\u003cbr\u003e \"The Yellow Labyrinth\" chronicles the \"final hours\" between their forced eviction and their passing, told through the voices of the dead, unable to leave their homes. (p. 546)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2) History outside of history as seen through unrecorded memories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The roots of poverty lie not in the places where we live, but in the paths that lead us there, and in the sharp stones that pierce those paths.” (p. 211)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe path of poverty is the path that people who are evicted from a particular building take as they move to find new housing, but it is also the path that people who were born at different times and lived in different places arrive in the same building and become neighbors.\u003cbr\u003e \"Yellow Maze\" restores the process of being poor not because they live in a poor neighborhood, but because they are poor, and thus had no choice but to come to a poor neighborhood, through their voices.\u003cbr\u003e Those who followed that path and found themselves in the 'smallest room in the world' have suffered the hardships of modern Korean history more painfully than anyone else.\u003cbr\u003e Their stories vividly demonstrate that the more unjust politics and society become, the more the poor suffer first.\u003cbr\u003e The book asks:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Whose memory is history?” (p. 109)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The voices restored in 『Yellow Labyrinth』 contain ‘memories shed by history.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “History is a perspective, a position, and an attitude. \u003cbr\u003eHistory is the perspective of the power that records it, the position from which power writes, and the attitude of power that selects and excludes facts.\u003cbr\u003e Depending on the distance and proximity of the gaze, the high and low of the position, and the stubbornness and flexibility of the attitude, history takes on dozens or hundreds of different forms between objective and subjective memory.\u003cbr\u003e Beyond the perspectives, positions, and attitudes that have not been recognized by history, there are perspectives, positions, and attitudes that have supported each person's life.\u003cbr\u003e When the powers that record 'inside' argue over which memories are true, they ask people 'outside' whether 'inside's memories' are also true for them.\u003cbr\u003e The history of those who were unable to leave records has been replaced by the memories of those who dominate the records.\u003cbr\u003e To them, history may be the memory of the Republic of Korea, but it may not be my memory. \u003cbr\u003eFor the missing individuals, history is much more real and vivid in their distorted and biased bodily memories, rather than in verified and authenticated history books.\u003cbr\u003e “In their unauthorized memories, justice and injustice are perceived in entirely different ways.” (Footnote on page 110)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The Yellow Labyrinth\" listens to the memories that history has discarded and uses those memories to write a \"history outside of history.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Their stories blur the line between fact and fiction.\u003cbr\u003e The place where fact and fiction stand back to back is not the only place where truth resides.\u003cbr\u003e This book remembers the 'outside story' that the 'inside history' does not remember, and writes about the outside story that the inside history does not acknowledge.\u003cbr\u003e “Rather than verifying the truth of their memories, I simply want to convey the ‘other history’ they have experienced through their bodies.” (Footnote on page 110)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe life of a child shattered and thrown onto the streets during the Korean War, the hell he experienced on the island (Seongam Island) where he was taken after being 'furigari' (Japanese crackdown) while living on the streets, the 'era where power and gangsters are indistinguishable' observed while serving politicians and gangsters who seek 'loyalty' while locked in a fairy, the political engineering that uses the fear of war to suppress the internal affairs and consolidate power, the inside of the special forces (North Korea's Kim Shin-jo Unit and South Korea's HID) created by the North and South, who coexist through hostility, aiming at each other, the collapse of the symbol of corruption and shoddy construction (Wau Apartment) in the democratic republic era when there was neither democracy nor republic, the tragedy of words that became polluted when unclean power became the subject of 'social purification', the powerless people who were cleaned up and swept away under that tragedy and taken to the Samcheong Education Corps, the country that sent poor citizens to the battlefield to earn dollars, build buildings, and raise economic indicators, and from that country, the 'industrial force' and Although they were called 'the warriors of reversal', the other side of the growth that was solely left to those 'warriors' and 'warriors', the other side of construction capitalism that grew by destroying someone's house, and the 'unfulfilled dreams' of the demolition workers who got blood on their hands in their place, the memories of 45 people who lived through those times finally came to a building in Dongja-dong and laid down their tired bodies. \u003cbr\u003eBecause I was poor, the memories of poverty that accumulated after coming to that building.\u003cbr\u003e \"The Yellow Labyrinth\" writes history through their memories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The time of a resident born in that year is also superimposed on the time of the building that was approved for use in 1968 (page 83, 'Heaven').\u003cbr\u003e If you follow that time, you will see the changes in the neighborhood that gave birth to that building, the stories of the poor who have moved into that land since liberation, the city's desire to 'reorganize', 'purify', 'develop' and 'redevelop' them by removing them, the gaze of 'us' who look at the poor while being tamed by that desire, the system of increasing wealth by driving out the poor, and the heart of this world that calls that bloody cycle 'development'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3) Literature beside literature that questions the place and boundaries of literature.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn his previous work, Crouching Words (Humanitas, 2017), which was evaluated as the “2017 version of Nanso-gong” for revealing the resentment that the Republic of Korea had hidden through slang, coined words, and profanity that the “standard” excluded, Lee Mun-young wrote the following.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The journalism of the unspoken was a story.\u003cbr\u003e When the language of the dynasty monopolized the status of 'Sillok', the language of the people was abandoned and wandered as 'Unofficial History'.\u003cbr\u003e When the Korean language of those who had the opportunity to speak gained a channel of speech and was recorded, the Korean language of those who did not have the power to speak was omitted and leaked out without being recorded.\u003cbr\u003e While the records of those in power took the place of the true history, the non-history of those without power was spread as ‘stories.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e

Yellow Labyrinth\" writes these stories in the language of literature.\u003cbr\u003e Lee Mun-yeong's writing style, which writes facts in a calm manner but condenses intense emotions into simple sentences, makes \"The Yellow Maze\" read like a full-length novel.\u003cbr\u003e His writing, which crosses the lines between fiction and non-fiction, shakes the distinction between literary and non-literary, and questions the place and boundaries of literature, simply contemplates and experiments with what should be written and said.\u003cbr\u003e He believes that there are people and
