Where in Korea have you been to?
<Gwanghwamun Square>
On August 1st, 2009, the redesigned Gwanghwamun Square opened to the public!
With the inauguration of the square, Sejong-ro, located the center of the 600-year-old historic city of Seoul,
was transformed into a human-centered space that harmonizes with the beautiful scenery of
Gyeogbokgung Palace and Bukaksan Mountain!
