War Memorial of Korea

This guide to the War Memorial of Korea centers on two brothers, Park Kyu-chul and Park Yong-chul, who found themselves facing each other from opposite sides of the front line during the bitter winter of the Korean War. It describes the towering bronze sculpture depicting their reunion, and the granite dome beneath it, gathered from every province, with a deliberate crack running through it standing for the divided peninsula. Look closely at that crack as you take in a monument built from stone carried from every corner of the country.
