Two British brothers dreamed of a perfect graffiti expedition in South Korea after they sprayed the initials of their gang on the side of subway trains, but they were caught at a guest house shortly before their departure.
At an appeals court trial, the two identified only by their ages -- 25 and 23 -- were given a four-month jail sentence each for breaking in and vandalizing public properties.
The two members of Britain's notorious seven-member graffiti gang, "SMT", allegedly arrived in South Korea and sneaked into two subway train garages in Seoul at night for two-day spray work.
SMT based in Manchester has been well known for subway train graffiti with its members fined for vandalizing trams, trains and public places.
