This article examines the recent development of documentary photographs in South Korea in light of David Campany's concept of “late photography.” Natural landscapes by Heungsoon Im, defunct bunkers and military facilities near the metropolitan area by Onejoon Che, and portraits of North Korean expatriates by Suyeon Yun offer intriguing approaches to late photography, which prioritize traces and remnants of tragedies over explicitly shocking images of violence. At the same time, this article underscores the underlying ideological significance of late photography, contrary to Campany's reservation that late photography may offer a less effective way of provoking and engaging viewers with social criticism. Instead, I will argue that Im, Che, and Yun's suggestive ways of alluding to the history of the Korean War (1950–53), military dictatorship, and ideological conflicts might be suitable for representing the ambiguous state of ideological confrontation in the Korean Peninsula
