As a member of the Seoul City Future Heritage Preservation Committee, he has explored various parts of Seoul that are not well known to the general public.\u003cbr\u003e He has delved deeper into the city of Seoul than anyone else, to the point of renovating a hanok building near Yeongcheon Market in Seodaemun and running a bookstore. As a resident and observer of Seoul, he has lived closely in the city and continued sketching Seoul for over 20 years. \u003cbr\u003eThe first story of 『Drawing Seoul's Time』, which introduced Seoul's representative landmarks such as Gyeongbokgung Palace, Myeongdong, Sungnyemun Gate, Insadong, Jeongdong, and Cheonggyecheon, focused on informing us of the historical stories and meaning behind familiar places that we thought we 'knew' well, while this second story goes further and contains a more diverse spectrum of stories.\u003cbr\u003e Traveling through time and space, it embraces not only the buildings of old Hanyang but also the hip spaces of present-day Seoul, leading us into the inner landscape of this city with each line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The more I learned about this city, the more curious I became about it.\u003cbr\u003e Even after I published my first book, my gaze never left Seoul.\u003cbr\u003e Maybe it was because I wanted to know more about this city where I was born, where I have lived, and where I will live in the future. \u003cbr\u003eAfter publishing the first 'Seoul Book', I received a commission to travel all over the country, not just in Seoul, and leave behind my writings and drawings.\u003cbr\u003e It was definitely meaningful work.\u003cbr\u003e However, the depth of a place seen from a traveler's perspective and the depth of a place seen from a resident's perspective could not be the same.\u003cbr\u003e A first impression of a seaside town in Namhae, where a clear, sunny day is spent, may not be the whole story, and travelers are not given the opportunity to know more.\u003cbr\u003e That thought may have led me to delve deeper into Seoul.\u003cbr\u003e _Page 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With just one step or one glance, you can start your 'Seoul trip' at any time.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes at a slow pace, sometimes riding a bicycle, 『Drawing Seoul's Time: The Second Story』 travels around Seoul, filling it with the colors of the four seasons. \u003cbr\u003eThe film captures not only the landscapes that have sadly disappeared from Yongsan, Seoul-ro, Daehak-ro and Munmyo, Sinyongsan, and Gyeonggang (Han River), but also new spaces created by renovating old buildings and buildings designed by world-renowned architects, all captured in detailed sketches.\u003cbr\u003e After touring the interior of the Yongsan US military base, which has been a 'forbidden land' for the people of South Korea for over 120 years, with the help of officials, I left behind a sketch of the interior, adding to its significance as a record.\u003cbr\u003e As the saying goes, “10 years can change the landscape of Seoul,” the city has changed significantly in the 15 years since the first book, “Drawing Seoul’s Time,” was published.\u003cbr\u003e The alley where children used to play has been transformed into an apartment complex, and the streetlights in the alley have been transformed into dazzling neon signs.\u003cbr\u003e However, there are still landscapes that survived through turbulent times such as the Japanese colonial period, the Korean War, and the post-war industrialization period.\u003cbr\u003e There are many spaces where future changes are expected. \u003cbr\u003eAs you stroll through Seoul's landscapes with over 800 colorful sketches and listen to the stories of the people who lived here, you'll find yourself wanting to walk around the city with this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I get distracted while working, I go for a walk in a large park nearby.\u003cbr\u003e If you need to think longer, climb a mountain.\u003cbr\u003e Now, I am old enough to sympathize to some extent with the joys and sorrows of the city people as seen from the mountaintop.\u003cbr\u003e I don't know all the hidden history inside it, but I can tell where this is and where that is, so I guess I've been to quite a few places.\u003cbr\u003e I open my sketchbook and capture the scenery.\u003cbr\u003e After finishing the rough sketch, I write down the names of the places in a haphazard manner.\u003cbr\u003e The Seoul I see is a modern and developed city, but the names I wrote are all traces of the past. \u003cbr\u003eStories that might be overlooked, but are actually quite close if you pay attention, are what made Seoul what it is today.\u003cbr\u003e It sounds like the names of old friends who helped create Seoul.\u003cbr\u003e I'm walking down the road again.\u003cbr\u003e It is a step towards new moments that will be added to the long history along the seemingly endless mountain path.\u003cbr\u003e The white stone walls of the city wall sparkle in the sunlight and guide me.\u003cbr\u003e To the place where I must live, capture in my paintings, and walk.\u003cbr\u003e Page 413\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

Trip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Seoul is a city with a long history. \u003cbr\u003eThis is because it is a city that has been firmly established as the capital of our country for over 600 years, from the Joseon Dynasty to the present, at least half a millennium.\u003cbr\u003e But it's not easy to find a place that resembles a long-standing center of power, history, and culture in downtown Seoul.\u003cbr\u003e Due to the developmentalism, the link with the past has gradually weakened, and the skyline of Seoul has continued to rise to the point where the term \"historic city\" has become meaningless.\u003cbr\u003e However, as it is a city where many people have lived for a long time, there are many rich stories piled up in various places.\u003cbr\u003e While the first book focused on the historical stories within the Sadamun Gate, this book pays closer attention to the voices of the people who lived in this city, not just the history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWe visit places designated as Seoul's future heritage sites, such as Geumseong Real Estate, a living witness to the history of apartment development that has been in operation for over 50 years within the Yeouido pilot apartment complex, and Seongwoo Lee Yong-won, a third-generation business near Manri-dong Pass, to vividly tell old stories.\u003cbr\u003e The author also tells the stories of people who were pushed out by development through stories related to places like Bamseom Island, which was so beautiful that it was monopolized by the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty, Bamseom Island, which had a population of 450 in the 1960s but was blown up for development purposes, and Hyochangwon, which was the tomb of Crown Prince Munhyo, the eldest son of King Jeongjo, but was damaged when a golf course was built during the Japanese colonial period and a sports field was built during the Syngman Rhee era.\u003cbr\u003e However, I am not unconditionally opposed to development and reminiscing about the past. \u003cbr\u003eIt addresses spaces that strike a balance between tradition and development, such as Yeouido Saetgang Ecological Park, the first ecological park in Korea; Seoullo 7017, which was a former car-only overpass turned into a pedestrian-only promenade; Yongsan Railroad Hospital, which was reborn as the Yongsan History Museum; and cafes renovated from former Japanese colonial houses in Yongsan and Namyeong-dong. It also presents a philosophy and vision for the city's future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sitting on the steps of a house not swept away by the apartment complex, I recall the well site that Lee Bong-chang used as a child.\u003cbr\u003e On one side of a narrow alley where cars could not enter, a well covered with a round plastic cover sat abandoned.\u003cbr\u003e Looking into the well, which did not match the surrounding scenery at all, I saw that there was water, but the reality of Seoul is that you cannot wash your hands even after drawing a ladleful of water from the well.\u003cbr\u003e Imagine the childhood of a young man who was willing to give up his life for his country. \u003cbr\u003eThe child stands at the well, draws water, quenches his thirst, and washes his hands.\u003cbr\u003e The place where the child stands is the last handful of land in Joseon, like a dying light.\u003cbr\u003e How must the chilling shadow of Japan's ambition have felt to a young mind? The child sits by the well, gazing up at the sky.\u003cbr\u003e His sky will be no different from the one I look up at now.\u003cbr\u003e Now I can only share the same sky under Yongsan with him.\u003cbr\u003e How long will our precious links be buried in cold piles of reinforced concrete?\u003cbr\u003e I think back to the meaning of that sip of water that the child must have drunk in his childhood.\u003cbr\u003e I wonder how much depth Seoul would have as a city if it shared that story.\u003cbr\u003e Pages 45-46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom the elders who have protected Seoul\u003cbr\u003e Even the newly emerged rising star\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When it comes to Seoul, many people first think of the Han River, which flows leisurely through the heart of the city, rather than any other landmark. \u003cbr\u003eThe Han River, which has flowed since time immemorial, has been a life-giving stream that supplies water to many people living in Seoul, and has also been an essential passageway for trade with foreign countries, connecting the capital and the provinces.\u003cbr\u003e However, until the first bridge was built in 1900, there was no other means of transportation than boats.\u003cbr\u003e In just over 100 years, 31 bridges (21 in Seoul) have been built across the Han River, and a 'Han River view' is considered a symbol of wealth.\u003cbr\u003e The city's landscape does not remain stagnant, but changes with each season and each year.\u003cbr\u003e In 『Drawing Seoul's Time: The Second Story』, we also touch on places that will rewrite Seoul's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom Sungkyunkwan, which many people visit in the fall to see the giant ginkgo tree that turns yellow, to Yakhyeon Cathedral, the first Western-style brick building built in Korea, the Seosomun Shrine History Museum built on the largest Catholic holy site in Korea, the Arko Arts Theater designed by Kim Swoo-geun, Gate Tower, the Namyeong-dong Anti-Communist Office, the Hyundai Department Store in Yeouido, which is the largest single-building department store in Seoul, and the Amorepacific headquarters building in Yongsan that is said to have been inspired by the white porcelain moon jar, etc.\u003cbr\u003e From famous landmarks of the Joseon Dynasty to newly emerging hot spots, it conveys the diverse charms of Seoul.\u003cbr\u003e Not only the buildings, but also the natural objects that fill the city are not left out.\u003cbr\u003e The trees of Seoul change their appearance throughout the city, turning into light green buds in spring, deep green in summer, colorful leaves in fall, and white snow in winter. \u003cbr\u003eThe book also contains stories about the protected trees, natural monuments, and commemorative trees that silently guard the alleyways of Seoul, allowing readers to enjoy a moment of romantic leisure.\u003cbr\u003e As you explore Seoul with \"Drawing Seoul's Time,\" you will come to feel closer to Seoul, a city with a different meaning than before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Spring is getting better.\u003cbr\u003e I used to like fall more than I do now, but as I get older, I find that it can't compare to spring.\u003cbr\u003e When I see the light green buds sprouting from the branches of trees that had been curled up as if dead after surviving the winter, I am moved by the wonder of the new year that has just begun.\u003cbr\u003e Anything is right in spring.\u003cbr\u003e Spring day, spring rain, spring breeze, spring sunshine, spring flowers.\u003cbr\u003e There is nothing that is not pretty when you add the word 'spring' to it.\u003cbr\u003e Is there anything better than a spring walk among them?\u003cbr\u003e On these short spring days, you have to go out and walk somewhere. \u003cbr\u003eA walk in spring is a time to feel liberated from the prison of winter.\u003cbr\u003e There are many walkable streets in Seoul, but on the other hand, there aren't many.\u003cbr\u003e It's because of the highway.\u003cbr\u003e If only I could shake off the busy streets that interrupt my steps and stroll among the towering buildings, I would naturally imagine Seoul's bright future.\u003cbr\u003e I believe that people living in cities can be happy only when they have the convenience of being able to walk freely without being disturbed by cars.\u003cbr\u003e Page 68
