๐ฉ ABOUT YONGJUGOL
Yongjugol is a kijichon (camptown, red-light district) that emerged during the Korean War to service the nearby U.S. military base. It became one of South Koreaโs largest & most infamous hubs for buying sex, once hosting over 200 establishments and 600 workers.
๐ฌ ABOUT THE FILM
Yongjugol sex workers and unlikely allies as they fight the demolition of the district in 2023. The government has declared a shutdown of the entire district - in the name of "women's rights."
