Han's black-and-white photography, a product of its time, reflects both the harsh realities and vibrant lives of mid-century Seoul residents, exhibiting their resilience and joy.
Through Han's lens, we see stylish couples, engaged businessmen, and playful children, illustrating a rich tapestry of daily life that counters simplified narratives of struggle.
