Vietnam & Korea: Photographer traces the heartbreak of war


"A person's life is too short. And no pain is bigger than heart pain. I want to do something to help the woman and her family. It is difficult for people who live in poverty to go to South Korea looking for their husband or father."

He has been travelling around Viet Nam for 15 years to take thousands of photos of Agent Orange victims. But the pain felt by women likes Ky is no less than the pain of Agent Orange victims, he says.

"The exhibition aims to send Korean people a message that while the war is in the past, its consequences still remain.

"Through the pictures of the wounds and the grief that Vietnamese people still suffer, I want to raise people's awareness of peace."

"Seeing the photos, I felt the human love in his heart. So I am doing the same to help the victims."
