weight of life after a failed business venture.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I started working as a first-generation men's shoe designer in my 20s.\u003cbr\u003e In his 30s, he rose through the ranks to become the head of the design department of several shoe brands.\u003cbr\u003e I dreamed of brilliant success and a bright future in Seongsu-dong, the 'handmade shoe street'.\u003cbr\u003e In my 40s, I opened a small handmade shoe factory.\u003cbr\u003e I dreamed of a simple life where I could live happily with my family, earning money by doing what I was good at and what I liked.\u003cbr\u003e But with the decline of the handmade shoe industry, his dream also crumbled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I entered my fifties, my business failed and the factory closed.\u003cbr\u003e I felt like a 'sinner' to my family and useless to society. \u003cbr\u003eEven though I was confident that I could still do the job I had been doing for 30 years, there was no place that would call me.\u003cbr\u003e He sent out hundreds of resumes, but the only ones calling him were for day labor in logistics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Middle age doesn't come suddenly.\u003cbr\u003e It is a portrait of the 'tomorrow' that youth will face, and a memory of 'yesterday' that old age has passed.\u003cbr\u003e It is a time that everyone must face after passing through the brilliant and intense youth.\u003cbr\u003e In an aging society where life expectancy exceeds 100, for middle-aged people who have more days left to live than they have already lived, 'tomorrow' is no longer a hope but an anxiety.\u003cbr\u003e The deep wrinkles on my forehead are the marks of the monthly loan repayment date, the feather-light bank balance, and the sleepless nights that come and go.\u003cbr\u003e The pain of frozen shoulder that weighs on the shoulder is proportional to the weight of responsibility that has piled up.\u003cbr\u003e I want to take another step forward with courage…\u003cbr\u003e Is all that awaits us but deep darkness?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe day I go to 'KURPANG'\u003cbr\u003e The conveyor belt never stops\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conveyor belts symbolize factories and warehouses that run without rest.\u003cbr\u003e In the 'KURPANG' warehouse, where it seems like everything in the world is available, he endures the emptiness and sense of loss, and moves his body to the speed of the conveyor belt again today.\u003cbr\u003e The conveyor belt, which leaves no room to even catch one's breath, resembles time.\u003cbr\u003e Just keep moving forward without stopping.\u003cbr\u003e You can't expect kindness like stopping and waiting for a moment.\u003cbr\u003e Like delivery boxes helplessly moving forward on a conveyor belt, we too have flowed here, surrendering ourselves to the flow of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the moment his business fails, a 'black shadow' follows him.\u003cbr\u003e The author expressed the dark emotions that reside in the hearts of people who have experienced failure and loss as 'black shadows.'\u003cbr\u003e A black shadow in the shape of a 'devil' torments, taunts, and tempts the man. \u003cbr\u003eBut he never gives up.\u003cbr\u003e Even in the deepest darkness, we find a light of hope, and at the end of despair, we gain the courage to live again.\u003cbr\u003e So, even though my whole body aches from the unfamiliar physical labor, I board the shuttle bus to the logistics warehouse again today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 《The Day I Go》 is a work filled with empathy and comfort for middle-aged people of this era.\u003cbr\u003e We support everyone who is trying to rebuild their lives and restore their self-esteem, which has been shattered by business failure or retirement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach and every stitch was carefully drawn by the hands of a craftsman who made handmade shoes.\u003cbr\u003e A desperate, chilling, and sad self-portrait\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Author Kim Hyung-gyu's first book is the illustrated essay \"There Are Shoes in Hot Seongsu-dong.\"\u003cbr\u003e At the time he was drawing the 101 shoe illustrations in this book, the author was the owner of a handmade shoe factory and a shoe designer. \u003cbr\u003eWhen we submitted the text and illustrations we had completed over several years to publishers, we were first amazed by the powerful illustrations, and then again by the fact that they had been created with thousands or tens of thousands of mouse clicks in an illustration program.\u003cbr\u003e I immediately contacted the author and headed to Seongsu-dong.\u003cbr\u003e The day after we visited with the contract, the writer cleaned up the factory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When we were working together on “There Are Shoes in Hot Seongsu-dong,” the author shyly handed me a dummy manuscript of “The Day I Go.”\u003cbr\u003e The moment I saw that pile, I was speechless for a while.\u003cbr\u003e This is because the ‘time after failure’ was fully captured in the splendid colors, strong expressions, and dazzling patterns.\u003cbr\u003e It was a desperate, eerie, and sad self-portrait drawn by a craftsman who made handmade shoes.\u003cbr\u003e At that time, I couldn't control my heavy heart and there were words I couldn't bring myself to say. \u003cbr\u003eI really want to tell writer Kim Hyung-gyu right now that I am grateful for giving me the courage to live again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Hwang Jeong-im, publisher of 'Dalgeum'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAuthor's Note\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I didn't know this when I was working and running a small business.\u003cbr\u003e But when I started applying for jobs again and started sending out resumes, I realized my age.\u003cbr\u003e I'm confident that I can do the job I've been doing better than anyone else, but the only jobs I'm given are logistics centers and security.\u003cbr\u003e It's not that I look down on these things or don't value them.\u003cbr\u003e However, I wanted to show in the picture the fear of doing something for the first time and the trembling in an unfamiliar environment.
