Walking toward a restaurant last week with a Korean friend who would be my interpreter for the evening, I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect. Neither one of us had met the man we were about to have dinner with, and\u00a0although we knew he was a photographer who had published a pictorial book on Korean War veterans and that he wanted to talk with us about his project, we didn\u2019t know much more about him. The gentleman in question had contacted me a few weeks earlier after attending a<a href=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/index.php\/2017\/10\/26\/remembering-chosin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Chosin memorial ceremony<\/a>, where he had heard the Minister of <a href=\"http:\/\/english.mpva.go.kr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patriots and Veterans Affairs<\/a> talk about my grandfather, Col. Edward H. Forney. Arriving at the restaurant, I was\u00a0definitely curious.<\/p>\n<p>Enter Lee Byung-Yong.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lee, as I was about to discover, is an incredible example of\u00a0someone who has dedicated his life to \u201ctelling the story.\u201d Born in 1958, although you\u2019d never know it by looking at him, Lee&#8217;s bohemian appearance and warm smile exudes a feeling of camaraderie and benevolence. He\u2019s the kind of person that makes you feel instantly comfortable.\u00a0After introducing ourselves, exchanging name cards, and ordering food and maekoli, Lee began telling his story.<\/p>\n<p>And I began taking notes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1235\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1235\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Lee-Byung-yong.jpg\" alt=\"Mr. Lee Byung-Yong telling stories\" width=\"640\" height=\"416\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mr. Lee recounting his travels in Ethiopia and Turkey. (Photo credit: Ned Forney)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As a ten-year-old living in Chuncheon, South Korea, Lee had the good fortune of attending his hometown\u2019s opening ceremony of &#8220;The Memorial Hall for Ethiopian Veterans in the Korean War.\u201d The newly-built museum, resembling the\u00a0traditional Dorze\u00a0\u201cbeehive&#8221; houses of Ethiopia, was an instant hit with the young boy. The\u00a0Korean government had invited Ethiopia\u2019s emperor, Haile Selassie, and Ethiopian Korean War veterans to the\u00a0ceremony, and Lee remembers the impressive entourage like it was yesterday. The Ethiopians left a lasting impression on him.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 40 years later, after earning a degree in photography from Japan&#8217;s Tokyo Polytechnic University and establishing his photography career, Lee traveled to Ethiopia. He had not forgotten the Korean War veterans he had met in 1968 and wanted to honor and commemorate them and\u00a0their sacrifices through his pictures. He spent the next two months in the east-African country, roaming from one town and village to the next, staying with Korean War veterans and their families, and taking award-winning photographs. The Ethiopians\u2019\u00a0hospitality, generosity, and appreciation for his efforts made him feel like a celebrity and greatly impacted\u00a0him.<\/p>\n<p>The experience was so profound that Lee realized he\u2019d finally found his true calling: photographing Korean War veterans from all 21 UN countries that fought for and aided South Korea from 1950-1953.\u00a0The following year he went to Turkey, spending six months there doing the same thing. Looking back on both trips, he said they changed his views on life, love, sacrifice, and death.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1229\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1229\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Ethiopian-Korean-War-Veterans.jpg\" alt=\"Ethiopian Korean War veterans visiting the Memorial Hall for Ethiopian veterans in the Korean War\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ethiopian Korean War veterans visiting the The Memorial Hall for Ethiopian Veterans in the Korean War. (Photo credit: ROK MND Defense Media Agency)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As he told his stories that night, his passion for preserving the memories of the men who fought and died for South Korea was evident in his eyes, facial expressions, and voice. He\u2019s a man determined to achieve a dream he wholeheartedly believes in. He plans on publishing 21 pictorial books, representing the men from the 21 UN countries that participated in the Korean War, and producing a photo exhibit to be displayed at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. In the short-term, he&#8217;d like to visit the United States next year.<\/p>\n<p>One of the last things he mentioned to me before leaving that night was his frustration with those who don\u2019t appreciate,\u00a0much less remember, the sacrifices made by the men &#8211; and their families &#8211; who did their part to ensure that the Republic of Korea remained free.\u00a0He\u2019s also frustrated about his lack of funding. He\u2019s paid for all his trips with his own money and needs financial sponsorship to continue his project.<\/p>\n<p>But he\u00a0finished on a\u00a0positive note, recounting the times he hugged Ethiopian and Turkish men and women after taking their photos. He could feel their heartbeat, he told me, and has a bond with them he still can\u2019t explain in words &#8211; only pictures. He hopes that someday he\u2019ll achieve his goal of photographing as many veterans as possible from around the world.\u00a0I hope this blog can help him by creating an awareness of his passion for telling the Korean War story.<\/p>\n<p>It was a memorable evening, and I\u2019m\u00a0grateful to have met Lee Byung-Yong, a man on a mission and a new friend.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Korean-War-veteran-Lee-Byong-Yongs-exhibit.jpg\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Korean-War-veteran-Lee-Byong-Yongs-exhibit.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Turkish Korean War veteran\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"640\" width=\"479\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\tTurkish Korean War veteran featured in Lee Byung-yong&#8217;s book.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Lee-Byung-yong-photo-exhibit-Turkish-Korean-War-Veterans.jpg\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Lee-Byung-yong-photo-exhibit-Turkish-Korean-War-Veterans.jpg\" alt=\"Photo from the Turkish War Korean veterans and their widows\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"640\" width=\"415\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\tLee Byung-Yong\u2019s photo exhibit on Turkish Korean War veterans and their widows.
