Despite Korea's historical troubles, its people have achieved great economic growth since 1960, the year of the student uprising that began the April Revolution, which overthrew the First Republic of South Korea. These turbulent years helped develop Koreans' sense of community and increased their devotion to Korean culture. We aimed to capture the lives and families of Koreans who were born in the 20th century and live in the 21st century — everything from birth to death and from happiness to sadness. We hope to capture Korea's culture, which is at once unique and universal.
