- 5 years ago
광화문 세월호 분양소... '기억공간'으로 재탄생
After more than four years and eight months, the memorial altar set up at Seoul's iconic Gwanghwamun Square for the victims of the Sewol-ho ferry disaster... will be relocated entirely by Monday.
With Gwanghwamun to be remodeled next January, the families of the victims have voluntarily agreed to allow the memorial altar to be moved,... and with the approval of Seoul Metropolitan government, to establish a new memorial space there next month.
Around one-point-two million people have visited the altar so far.
The new memorial space will not only memorialize the ferry victims,... but also look back on other national disasters the country has suffered.
