"Kid Nostalgia: Portraits of South Korean Youth" is a collection of works by Korean photographer Park Seong-jin. Originally from Seoul, Park moved to New York at the age of 17 and has since pursued a career that explores his homeland, Korea, and his roots through photography. His work is characterized by a blend of the sharp perspective he developed in America and a nostalgic sentiment for his hometown, with a particular interest in youth and street scenes. This book features portraits of boys and girls in Korean uniforms, strikingly portraying the rebellious and free-spirited expressions of youth that defy conventional boundaries. Photographed in urban corners, backstreets, and vacant lots, the images evoke a portrait of "Korean youth" torn between individual identity and collective culture. These serene monochrome photographs, while overlapping with Park's own memories, evoke a sense of nostalgia in the viewer that transcends time and place.
