Accidentally Making a Makgeolli AD

• Location: South Korea
• Date: April 2022

In Korea, there’s a tradition called “MT”—I don’t quite remember the exact meaning, but the idea is simple: you and a group of friends head to the countryside, spend the night barbecuing and drinking, and then catch the first or second train back in the morning. SNU’s Buddy Program organized an MT night for us exchange students, and we all pooled our money to buy as much food and drinks as we could carry.

Once there, I naturally started snapping photos, and by chance, I captured a few shots that my friends said looked straight out of an ad. Their words were a huge compliment to me, and these photos remain an achievement I look back on fondly in my photography journey.
