Categories: Photo project

Some believe that the Yakuza — it is solely a Japanese phenomenon, but it's not. The criminal group has covered a lot of Asian countries, including Thailand, the Philippines and South Korea. The project Yang, never associated with the crime, was dedicated to his tragically deceased childhood friend. A friend was accused of murder and sent to prison. After his release, he became the "six" of the Yakuza, then he hung up.

Look at the Korean members of the Yakuza and their life in The Best Days very superficial. Yes, the photographer managed to infiltrate the society of bandits, but for him, this world is something completely new, and expression of the pictures it shows. Like the monochrome and black-and-white, but so emotional. The photographs show life and nothing but life. Gangster life in Asia is almost municipality. "Common Fund" here is a most Holy thing. Shared house, shared food, shared women. And money, which in the frame a lot, too, I think, General. Entertainment group and it is trivial to drinks, snacks and lots of sex.

Heroes story Yang Seung Woo searched in illegal gambling houses, bars and brothels. Surprisingly, they did not hide their faces. Draughty darkness series puts at the forefront the emptiness and meaninglessness of the criminal lifestyle, the photographer manages to do without morals. Simply show it as it is, without embellishment. And if that's not enough, you recall the story of his friend who killed himself in a gang of half-drunk revelry.
