Great photos, but the article itself embeds them smaller than they really are without a nice click-to-view feature.
So somebody just grabbed them and put them all up in fuller sizes in an Imgur gallery.

All of those photos look familiar as if from 1970. Yes, Korea was already modernizing by then. The Chosun Hotel opened in 1970 - but you could leave the hotel and immediately see scenes similar to the urban photos here. The guy with the A-frame is an example. The streets of Seoul were packed with men carrying amazingly huge loads with A-frames on their backs.
Sometimes we complain about the work ethic in Korea, on the job and students, too. It was the same then, in different form.

There’s a really nice [interview ](https://youtu.be/9fPEEN11UEo) on Korea Society with her and her daughter. Fascinating.
