The taboo of mechanics
Koreans' efforts to revive the economy of a country devastated by war led to industrialization and the subsequent concentration of population in cities.
In the process, Euljiro's Machinery Alley was formed after the end of the Korean War.
For that reason, this area still retains the architecture and residential patterns of the 1950s and 1960s.
Since the 1990s, the government has been pursuing urban redevelopment projects.
Most of this area is home to high-rise intelligent buildings.
However, only a few alleys maintain the old scenery, but even those may disappear at any time.
Most people who work here start at a young age.
And they engage in one task for their entire lives.
They use cutting machines, drilling machines, presses, arc welders, etc. to process heavy metal blocks. As you know, these tasks are very dangerous and can lead to accidents in the blink of an eye.
That's why they have safety concerns and taboos attached to them when working. Nevertheless, it is common for many people to lose a finger or two.
In conclusion
They don't like it when photographers hang around and make a fuss while taking pictures.
This man strongly urged me not to take pictures.
I had no choice but to give in by taking just one photo of the back while he was working.
Hmm.. I wrote a long post.
