Black Rubber Shoes
Black Rubber Shoes (Korean: 검정고무신; RR: Geomjeong gomusin) is a South Korean manhwa and a South Korean animated television show for children.
The stories take place in the city of Seoul in the 1960s and 1970s. The title refers to black gomusin, shoes made of rubber which children frequently had to wear because they were cheap and durable.
It was nominated as a Best Program by the Korean Broadcasting Commission and recognized as a Common Good Animation in September, 2004. In addition, the Seoul YMCA Association of Children's Culture chose it as a Good Program Selected by Children.
The story focuses on a Korean family that lives in 1960s Seoul. In the 60s, South Korea was still a developing country with many of its citizens living in poverty. Because of this, there are a lot of references to that time period such as the street vendors and the school bread deliveries.
The cartoon describes poverty and difficulties in the South Korea of the 1960s. The main characters are Giyoung and his older brother Gichul, a middle school student. Even though they are poor, Gichul and Giyoung always live happily and have fun. The episodes of the brothers and family arouse nostalgia and memories about the past in many older Korean viewers. Black Rubber Shoes is considered one of the best works of Korean animation. The show is known to catch people's attention regardless of gender or age.

Older brother of Gi-yeong. Born 1956 (age 14).
