Have you ever been walking around and seen a manhole cover that’s clearly been put back the wrong way? Maybe there’s a painted line that goes through the middle of it — but some lazy construction worker just decided to put it back any ol’ direction so that it no longer aligns with the rest of the road. What gives?

Seeing this, most of us would simply be annoyed but continue on with our days. Instagrammer Hangkeun Kim, however, is not like most people.

Instead, he’s made it his life’s work to seek out misaligned manhole covers, then set them right. He doesn’t make money from this — he really just does it for the love of the game.

So please, if you see a manhole cover that’s been put back the wrong way around, follow Kim’s lead and set it right. That, or, if you’re in South Korea, just give him a call!

I'm obsessed with this dude on IG whose whole bit is frantically fixing manhole covers that have been misaligned with street markings lol pic.twitter.com/ku7CKfiBbd
