Change=Death why?

Why is this Picture reminds Mr. Sudoku of Change and Death.The person on the pics (is a Philosopher and a friend of Mr Sudoku, i met him in person)which was posted in Seoul in 2007. But depsite this picture, why is it death and change? but Imagine If I put a pic of my Korean friend with the title of Death, it would be so offensive!!

Olaf: I know so well its joke but this kind of my attitude might be coming from the idea of traditional confucianism context in Korea. read this.
