Reflecting on the prison of history: Entering the Seodaemun Prison History Museum

A visit to the Seodaemun Prison History Museum in Seoul, South Korea is a sobering experience. Originally used to imprison resistance fighters during the Japanese occupation, the prison still has an eerie feel that makes visitors feel uneasy today. Every cell and every wall seems to whisper about the deeply buried painful history. Walking through the narrow corridors of this prison, one can even feel the struggles of former prisoners and their desire for freedom. The resistance movement figures and precious historical materials exhibited in the museum inspire us to reflect on the past and cherish our present freedom. Through this journey, we not only learned about that dark history, but also strengthened our understanding of the importance of defending peace and freedom. #Seoul Attractions
