April 13th, 2011 Part2 @Seoul
Street Angel is an NPO working for homeless people here in Seoul. In 1997, when IMF crisis hit this country, the population of homeless people got skyrocketed. Since then, for 14 years, Street Angel has been doing soup-kitchen every night except Saturday.
At 22:00, dozens of college students and church members got together at the office of Street Angele for preparing for the meals. The room got filled with steam from rice-cooker and the smell of fish dumplings.
Leaving the office around midnight for a metro station near city hall, where about 50 people were already in a line. Most of them seem over 50s, but some look like in their 30s. They all wore in dark and with load of burdens.
How many people living here know about this midnight dinner underground? When the last person in a line got a plate, all of the men scattered in the total darkness.
　We left the station for Euljiro 3(sam)-ga station, where the director of the Street Angel, Cho Jung Hee, were all ears to a homeless man. Their talking brought the homeless guy into tears and Cho hugger him tight. In the dim underground, they looked like a statue titled “Living.”
