The Joseon Dynasty, 120 years ago: Life during the Joseon Dynasty. We show you the Korean Empire during the Joseon Dynasty

in vivid colors you can't see anywhere else. Time travel to the past begins now. Hello, this is the King of Restoration.

Today, we show in vivid color the appearance of cities across the country, including Seoul, Busan, Pyongyang, and Incheon,

and street life, including shops, during the Korean Empire 120 years ago. This photo was taken

by George Ross, an Australian photographer who visited Korea during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.

This is a video created by converting black and white photos into color. It took more than 300 hours to colorize these photos, and

the entire video, worked on for 4 months from July to December of this year,

is finally shown in full version. I hope you enjoy it because you can see scenes from that time that were unseen anywhere else
