Lee Sang-ho
a former leper colony on Sorok Island, South Korea
Lee Sang-ho grew up on Sorok Island, known for its history as a leprosy colony, where the sound of a screen door creaking was a constant companion. Now a long-haul trucker, he avoids bridges at all costs, preferring extra miles over facing his fear. His nights are spent in his parked rig, where memories flutter in and stir his need to make music driven by the relentless groove of wheels on asphalt and the haunting sounds of his past.
