Do you know this man?

Blog: Seoul Survival - 21 July 2009

IMG_2440At Gwangjang Market with Bill eating excellent bindaetteok (crisply fried mung-bean pancakes) and boribap (rice and barley mix topped with a variety of veggies) and he suddenly shouts “Get a photograph of that man in the hat – he’s famous!”. I chase after the black-clad figure as he hurried through the market and snapped the moment he paused. Seeing me, the gent swings around and offers a salute. As I approach to ask his name and find out a bit more about him he off again, disappearing into the crowds. Bill knows nothing more other than he’s a well known Seoul eccentric who sometimes busks.
