This image depicts a nighttime street scene in Myeongdong, Seoul, South Korea. In the foreground and center, a male individual with short dark hair, wearing a cream-colored textured long-sleeved shirt and light grey pants, stands holding an open copy of the Chosun Ilbo newspaper in front of his face. Only his eyes and forehead are visible above the newspaper's top edge. A large red "70" is prominently displayed on the lower left page of the newspaper. To the immediate left of the central figure, a person wearing a dark helmet with a reflective visor and a dark jacket sits on a dark scooter or motorcycle, facing left and slightly away from the camera. A black utility box is visible on the rear of the scooter. The street is paved with distinctive light green/blueish hexagonal interlocking pavers, marked by a faded white line running down the center. Multi-story buildings line both sides of the street, illuminated by numerous neon and backlit signs displaying Korean characters. On the left, a building features a "바른치킨" (Bareun Chicken) sign and "446-4001" phone number. Below it, a smaller orange sign reads "MAYFIELD." On the right, a prominent vertical sign with a rooster logo displays "필각도" (Pilgakdo). Other signs feature Korean and some English text like "KING." Further down the street, beyond the central figure, several other indistinct individuals are visible walking or standing amidst the brightly lit shops and restaurants. The sky above is dark, indicating a nighttime setting, with artificial light dominating the scene.
