Aftermath of Street Vendor Eviction, Gangnam, Seoul
-
I came upon this scene on last Friday in Seoul.
Usually, the street vendors on Gangnam Street are doing good business selling various street food and other knick-knacks. But on Friday, apparently all of the vendors had their carts and tents toppled over by people who allegedly work for the city. Much of their produce and goods were destroyed.
From what I can tell by searching on Google, these vendors are operating illegally on Gangnam Street and every so often they get evicted in this manner.
