Hello. This is Restoration King.
Today's video shows vivid colorized scenes of Seoul, Pyongyang, and Daegu during the Korean Empire, 122 years ago from today.

This video is a colorized work of black-and-white photographs taken by Willard Straight, who covered the Korean Empire as a Reuters correspondent during the Russo-Japanese War and served as the Vice Consul at the US Legation in Korea.

Our Restoration King team spent over 300 hours colorizing this video over a period of two months from May to July of this year, so we hope you enjoy watching it until the very end.

Some people might ask:
"Can't you just use AI and finish the work with a simple click?"
We do most of the work manually, one by one, from researching materials to colorization.

Don't you think there should be at least one channel in this world that puts in the manual effort like us?
And thank you always to everyone who sponsors and supports our Restoration King channel.
Now, our time travel to the past begins.

Also, thank you for waiting so long.
After 3 years of work since our first book "The Photo Studio Capturing Colors," our second book will be published soon.
We ask for your continued interest and love.
