This week, I traveled to the War Memorial of Korea which is located in Yongsan. Because my internship was holding a convention there to promote SDGs (Strategic Development Goals) that the UN recently proposed, I was able to go there and explore the place a bit while working. Even though I had studied about the Korean War before through my Korean classes, the museum had so much other information that I did not know about. One interesting fact was that over 30 nations were actually involved in some way during the Korean War, whether it was giving aid or supplies, or providing troops to the Koreans. I was unable to fully explore the museum and take pictures as I was working, but hopefully I get a second chance to come back and explore.
