Kyungsung Loop

Copyright Ron Bandun, Jon Dunbar

After becoming trapped underground in a subway vent in 2013, Bandun discovered the Joseon Door, leading to a world full of horrors and wonders. He offers dozens of stories of his adventures on the other side of the Joseon Door, documenting Korea's endangered urban landscapes and forbidden places. From atop roofs and cranes, all the way down to subway tunnels and underground rivers, he brings attention to these places and why they should be on our minds as we go about the city.

Ron Bandun is a self-described "anarchaeologist." He is is an urban explorer who has been visiting forgotten, abandoned and forbidden spaces in Korea since 2005, documenting the changes and conflicts of the urban environment. He is a published columnist at The Korea Times, and winner of the Fiction Writers in Seoul contest in 2018/19, having his short story "Kyungsung Loop" published in the "A City of Han" anthology.
