Art shows this week

Jaka Parker, originally from Indonesia, is a freelance photographer currently living in North Korea. He resides there with his family in Pyongyang where his second and third children were born. He also takes photos of the city as a @everydaydprk fellow. You can check out his instagram account at @jakaparker.    Note from the Editor: Due to our being restricted in terms of what we could ask and have Jaka, a non-native English speaker, clarify etc. the English editorial team at Time Out Seoul decided to leave the majority of spelling and grammar errors, awkward phrasings and vague references in this interview so as to maintain the integrity of Jaka’s words.

Born in Jamsil in 1983, Jung Ji-hyun is an “apartment kid” born and raised in an apartment. Along with other apartment kids who came of age in the early 2000s, Jung witnessed the world of his youth destroyed by renovation projects as Seoul increasingly gentrified.
