In modern Korea, an apple box is a symbol of bribes. Inspired by the fact, the illustration depicts apple-shaped drones flying in the sky, and a politician opens them to get money inside.

“The Choson dynasty was the era in which giving bribes for special favours was the prevailing way of operating in the political world as it is in modern days. People bribed to reduce taxes or punishment, to solicit, and to get exemption from military services. The culture of bribery and corruption is no different in contemporary. In modern Korea, an apple box is a symbol of bribes. Inspired by the fact, the illustration depicts apple-shaped-drones fly in the sky, and a politician opens it to gain money inside.”
