chrisbg — War Memorial of Korea

June 25th, 1950. A date every Korean carries. Before dawn, North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel. Three years of war. Four million lives. And an armistice, not a peace treaty, which means this conflict never officially ended. In Korea, they call it 육이오. Six. Two. Five. Named after the date it began. No Korean needs to be told what it means. The country you see today, the skyline, the infrastructure, the culture that draws millions of travelers every year, was built from rubble. Within living memory. The War Memorial in Seoul sits in Yongsan, a few stops from Itaewon on Line 6. Free entry. One of the most undervisited, quietly powerful places in the city. Today, South Korea pauses. So should we. 📍 War Memorial of Korea, Yongsan, Seoul 🚇 Samgakji Station, Line 4 or Line 6 #Korea #KoreanWar #625전쟁 #Seoul #WarMemorialOfKorea
