A Koreatown muralist paints back the Korean culture that vanished from its walls
- Dave Young Kim, 46, grew up in Koreatown surrounded by murals of Korean drummers, dancers and historical figures.
- Most are gone now.
- This summer he finished a new one at a senior housing complex, built from interviews Koreatown youth conducted with their elders, an attempt to put the neighborhood's Korean story back on its walls.
