The encore edition of the Shooting the Pulitzer exhibition presents the opportunity for visitors to awe at the Pulitzer Prize-winning photography from 1942 up through 2020. The exhibition drew significant attention among expo-goers for putting the work of 2019 Pulitzer Prize winner and Reuter photographer, Kim Kyung-hoon, on public display and his achievement for becoming the first Korean ever to win the prize. Kim covered the story of the migrating caravans on route toward the United States' border from Latin America and captured amazing footage of the phenomenon in progress, including one of a mother and daughter, native to the country of Honduras, trying to escape the incoming tear gas being released into the migrating crowd at the U.S. border. The exhibition has as many as 130 photos on display that also feature an accompanying excerpt from interviews with the photographer of each picture. It's as if visitors are able to witness a history textbook come to life before their eyes! Actual interview footage is also on display in the exhibition hall.

Shooting the Pulitzer is scheduled to run through February 28, 2021, in Seocho-dong's Seoul Arts Center.
