I'm back in Seoul...
Heading to Daehangno for a film screening yesterday, I was delighted to see that The Big Issue has made it to Korea. The vendor was incredibly friendly, in good spirits and welcoming the passers-by of Daehangno with loud shouts of "BIG ISSUE KOREA!"
I used to buy the magazine regularly when I lived in the UK and am glad that The Big Issue is now offering Korean homeless people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income. The magazine is in Korean and my wife confirms that it was an interesting read. It's only 3,000 won with 1,600 won going directly to the vendor.
If you see this guy around then why not take the time to say hello and buy one of his magazines...
