Just the other day, International Network of Street Papers (INSP) announced a set of 'INSP Awards' finalists, the top five images for 'Best Photograph' in particular.
Established in 2008, the 'INSP Awards' is a global awards ceremony hosted by INSP.
It highlights the outstanding achievements of independent street paper journalism and street papers' contribution to social justice.
The photo eventually landed as one of the five finalists under the 'Best Photograph' category at the '2019 INSP Awards'.
The organization also added that Lee Jung Shin had impacted people in Korea with his exceptional photography skills, "The photographs, like this one entered, were sensational in Korea and many people were inspired by his photos, which captured the faces and lives of people from Myanmar."
Last summer, Lee Jung Shin held a photo exhibition 'Blowing Dandelions' (literal translation) with photos that he had taken in Myanmar.
At that time, he gained attention for donating all proceeds to a foundation to aid in children's education in Myanmar.
