韩国摄影师Sim Kyu-Dong拍摄了震撼人心的照片，展示了“Goshitels”中穷人的生活

To foreigners, South Korea is known for its advanced technology, impressive skyscrapers, delicious food, and honorable traditions. However, there is a side of the country that visitors rarely see, such as ‘Goshiwon’ and ‘Goshitel’—tiny, cramped, cheap housing units where South Korea’s poor live.

对于外国人来说，韩国以其先进的技术、令人印象深刻的摩天大楼、美味的食物和光荣的传统而闻名。然而，这个国家也有游客很少看到的一面，比如“Goshiwon”和“Goshitel”——韩国穷人居住的狭小、拥挤、廉价的住房单元。

South Korean photographer Sim Kyu-dong spent around 5 years living in Goshiwon in Seoul when he moved there for work and documented the lives of the people there with his camera. The photographer who arrived from Gangneung in Gangwon Province had no other choice because the rent for Goshiwon was cheap, there was no need for a deposit, and there were no maintenance fees.

韩国摄影师沈久东在首尔的Goshiwon生活了大约5年，他搬到那里工作，用相机记录了那里人们的生活。从江原道江陵来的摄影师别无选择，因为Goshiwon的租金便宜，不需要押金，也没有维护费。

In an in-depth interview with Bored Panda, Sim explained what inspired him to do the photography project, talked about his passion as a photographer, and mused about what it takes to become a professional photographer.

在与Bored Panda的深度访谈中，Sim解释了是什么激发了他做这个摄影项目，谈到了他作为一名摄影师的激情，以及如何成为一名专业摄影师。

“Goshiwon is actually built for examinees preparing for various tests such as the state bar exam or civil service examinations. I used Goshiwon whenever I leave my home and stay in Seoul. It was good accommodation,” Sim said. “In such a way, I spent about 5 years in Seoul’s Goshiwon.”

“Goshiwon实际上是为准备各种考试的考生准备的，比如州律师考试或公务员考试。每当我离开家去首尔的时候，我都会用Goshiwon。这是很好的住宿条件。”“就这样，我在首尔的Goshiwon待了5年左右。”

Goshiwon rooms are very similar to dormitory rooms, have shared kitchen areas and bathrooms, and attract a lot of students and migrant workers. Meanwhile, Goshitel rooms are slightly more spacious but much barer. Goshiwon and Goshitel are often used as synonyms in South Korea.

Goshiwon的房间与宿舍非常相似，共用厨房和卫生间，吸引了大量的学生和农民工。与此同时，Goshitel的房间稍微宽敞一些，但裸露得多。Goshiwon和Goshitel在韩国经常被用作同义词。
