This picture taken on September 30, 2024 shows South Korean pastor Choi Il-do (R) greeting an elderly woman at the "Babfor" free meal service centre in Seoul. Before the Zaha Hadid-designed plaza, before the luxury high rises, before the neighbourhood hosted fashion week, there was a pastor handing out rice to poor pensioners in Seoul's Dongdaemun district. But as land values in the fast-gentrifying area have soared, minister Choi Il-do has found himself increasingly at odds with his new neighbours, who claim his popular free meal service attracts too many people, leading to crime and hurting property prices.
