Special lighting schedule for 'Light of Gratitude 23'
The autumn breeze has come to Gwanghwamun Square.
In the 'Garden of Gratitude',
we will hold various cultural events to remember those who dedicated themselves to the nation.
Especially, the special lighting of 'Light of Gratitude 23' will commemorate significant anniversaries!
October 24 (Saturday) - Special blue lighting for United Nations Day
November 11 (Wednesday) - Sequential lighting for International Veterans Day
On September 28, we had a special lighting for 'Seoul Liberation Day'.
The space was illuminated with yellow light reminiscent of the forsythia, the symbolic flower of Seoul, and the ginkgo, the symbolic tree.
What is Seoul Liberation Day?
It marks the day on September 28, 1950, when the Republic of Korea regained its capital, Seoul, after the successful Incheon landing operation by the U.S. Marine Corps and UN forces.
At the Freedom Hall in the Garden of Gratitude,
you can also find a space to remember the veterans and fallen soldiers of the Korean War.
This video was created to remember the U.S. soldiers who dedicated themselves for Korea during the Korean War.
The list of missing persons is managed with the cooperation of the Korean War Missing in Action Family Association, which receives lists from the U.S. Department of Defense's POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
'Stories We Will Not Forget'
Throughout October
Location: Media Wall in the Freedom Hall of the 'Garden of Gratitude'

In addition to the list of missing persons, a list of those who died during the war is continuously displayed on the 'Memorial Wall' in the Freedom Hall.
