The Korean Demilitarized Zone
Photographed for The Republican Post.
In 2017, I was a part of a group of students from Republic Polytechnic’s Diploma in Mass Communication to go to Panmunjeom and the historic Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the North and South Korean borders.
The photographs taken there were published in an issue of The Republican Post, a student-led publication in our school campus.
