It was long time ago when I had visited the Korean War Memorial last time.
Suddenly my friend and I stopped by the Korean War Memorial for looking around
Whenever visiting the war memorial, it was weird for me to make the architecture for the memory of War.
War, itself, is nothing but the massive killing between humans.
So to memorize the war would mean the admittance of massive Killing.
In my opinion, where war is just or not, war itself is the result of the Devil’s whisper.
Especially the Korean war is different from other wars.
Korean War broke up in 1950 AD between North and South Korea.
It means that Korean War was a Civil War.
Civil war is the cruelest among all kinds of war, because the civil war means killing each other between brothers, sisters and relatives.
What I saw first was the statue of brothers at the entrance of the Korean War Memorial.
It seems that nobody concerns on the statue. But this statue is the most appropriate example to explain the characteristics of Korean War.
This statue of brother was made on the basis of real story.
Elder brother had joined in South Korean Army as an officer ,lieutenant. After the war breaking out by the North Korean Invasion, younger brother was conscripted with force by the north korean army in 15 years old.
They met at the battlefield, elder brother found his lovely younger brother after the fierce warfare.
They hugged each other in the battle field.
The round dome means one ethnic, and the broken part means the division of Korean peninsular.
The story of brothers was so touching. So they made the state in the War Memorial.
I tried several shots to show you their faces more in detail.
Inside of the dome was decorated with some artworks on war.
There were wires inside of the dome. It seemed to be needed to sustain this dome structure, but I'd like to interpret as the meaning that links together between the south and the north.
More than 3 million people were killed during 3 years war.
There exists the war criminal’s grandson in north Korea as an unprecedented dictator through human history.
Now they threat whole world with the nuclear bombs and ICBM.
The tragedy of Korean War is still continuing.
The Korean war is really a tragic part of human history as it divided the Koreans, families are separated and it was so sad to learn that @slowwalker. I hope that the people in the North would be liberated soon.
My dad fought in Korea.
My dad on the right.
Wow
it's really awesome

정말 글을 너무 잘쓰십니다...
정말 아무도 동상에 대해서 관심을 두지 않을텐데, 그에대해 자세한 설명과, 돔형식의 구조물에대한 설명도... 전 처음 알았네요..^^
덕분에 제가 나중에 소개 해 줄 수 있는 지식이 생겼습니다. 감사합니다
정말 전쟁이 안일어나고 서로의 타협으로 잘 이뤄지는게 모두가 바라는 일 아닌가 싶습니다...
좋은 하루 보내세요 슬로우 워커님 댓글 감사합니다

제가 더 감사할 따름입니다~^^
좋은 밤 보내세요 ㅎㅎ
@slowwalker, your post deeply affected me. Your last sentence says it all. The ultimate solution is that the older and younger brother nations, North and South Korea, need to settle their family differences between themselves, together, with mutual respect for each other. I grieve for all those broken families that have been denied the basic human right of living together as a family, for all l those years.
The rest of the world should welcome the recent moves, such as at the Olympics and the talks between the Presidents of North and South Korea to start on the road, no matter how tentatively, of brotherly reconciliation.
As a United States citizen for my entire life, I am ashamed that my President, even as a sad joke, is thinking about a Nobel Peace Prize. He should do everything in his power to let the brothers make peace and stop this unnecessary and wasteful family feud.

So touching, hope Both sides can really work their differences.
But why the hell does the world seems so happy about brother states diversity. Sudan is their, NK and SK is their.
We should really work out our differences and nail for peace.
We really need it
Absolutely
I enjoy how thorough your posts are. Always plenty of explanation and photos. A beautiful story of brothers represented by the equally beautiful statue. Even better that its true! As far as the war goes and the state of things today, I have no words.. truly saddening.
yes, it is saddest thing in the world.
What a war
.....
Hey @slowwalker, I'm not sure if you remember me but it's been a long time since I've been on one of your posts. I've just been busy busy busy making posts and getting on with life but it is great to see you are still posting!
As beautiful as the statue is you do feel this ominous eerie feeling of something is wrong and something is truly wrong. It is tragic that so many people lost their lives which in a war purely for the US and the Soviet Union to spread their spheres of influence.
I wish we were not as imperialistic but once someone is power they will always bite off more than they can chew. They don't care if anyone else is caught in the crossfire. They only want to come out on top.
What are your thoughts on these 'peace' talks and summits between both the Koreas? Many have said that they think it is just a ploy by North Korea to get relieve from sanctions and potential foreign aid.
Well I hope you have a great day bud! :)
Thank you for your comment.
Of course I remember you.
About the summit, I wish this summit to be a chance to the real peace
This is heartbreaking. The story you have told along with your pictures makes one very sad. The two brothers embracing on top of the cracking ground says so much, the detail in their faces, the anguish. It is truly still a tragedy that these crimes against humans are still going on. Amazing post. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your comment
I agree with your opinion you are about war.
it is a whisper of the devil and it is evident when the war in Indonesia was clearly evil whispered at all high-ranking officials.
what a war
war between indonesia equals aceh.
War between brothers.
a very touching story @slowwalker
Thank you
This is a really touching story..
Thank you so much
amazing @slowwalker, this is a learning for the world, I am very impressed, I support you, success is always for you
Thank you so much
Awesome post @slowwalker. One of my favorite subjects/topics is war stuff. Love to learn about history :)
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much
Never happen again!!
Wow!!! What a wonderful monument to the struggle of the Korean War. War has no winners. Everyone loses something or someone. I think this domed structure is a great symbol of how then country has been broken by this conflict. They brothers symbolizing the strength and courage of the people fighting and the love that comrades share. It is very sad that this struggle continues still today. Thank you so much for sharing such a meaningful piece of history. Here in Ottawa we have a huge monument downtown called the War Memorial. It commemorates the soldiers struggles through war and it is accompanied by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is a Memorial to all soldiers who lost their lives in wars.
Thank you for your photo and comment
yes, war between brothers is the most violent war in the world. just like war incident in indonesia a few years ago, aceh people at that time felt unfair towards indonesian government, so aceh ask for independence and separation from indonesia, there is beginning of war between aceh (GAM) and indonesia, until now aceh is the richest province with natural products in indonesia. but after the stunami disaster yesterday in aceh there was peace between the people of Aceh and Indonesia.
I had read the news a few days ago that the hostilities between south korea and north korea had ended, they had agreed to peace and even wanted to cooperate in advancing the country. may war never again occur in the world, it is time to live peacefully and peace without fear of weapons due to war ... !!!
Thank for sharing friend..
Thank you for your kind comment
As always great photographs! 📷
Pemandangan yang luar biasa bagus @slowwalker, saya sangat suka dengan pemandangan seperti ini, dan saya sangat suka dengan postingan anda @slowwalker..
More than 3million people were killed during 3yes war!!!!
So sad, war is never a good thing to happen to any country.
What a statue. This is my favorite post from you. I almost cried when I read the story about the brothers. The thought of going to war all of a sudden and even killing your friends and families under military law is the absolute horror. An incredibly sad fact that there is war. I live in europe and I don't know if our media report the complete truth, but there should have been a good conversation between north and south korea. is that right? i wish your countries a wonderful peace :-(
Sir @slowwalker. I a gree with you. War is the worst incident for humans. War to kill both sides and harming everyone.
I see the statue of brotherhood of soldiers on the monument of war is very meaningful as an inter-army brotherhood.
I hope there is lasting peace between north korea and south korea because in fact the two korean ancestors are the same .. the two korean are the same territory. It is very sad when there is another civil war between the two Koreans.
We hope the dictator in north korea no longer carries out his ambitions for war. may they be aware of their brother in south korea.
Thank you very much for sharing our valuable information with us all.
May peace and happiness always be ours in our lives.
Success is always for you sir @slowwalker.
Peace greetings from me @rijalaronaceh.
Thank you so much

Yeah, Civil War is the worst. And I agree, it's like the Devil is the one playing us against each other. So unnecessary and cruel :(
Thanks for sharing @slowwalker
They made the statue in a perfect way. Good to be memorialble.
Thank's for your sharing, adding new knowledge for me
The effects of war will make one generation to bleed up to the next generation, because of the fall of great men and women during the war in Korea, the strength of Korea today lays after the Koreanwar , great post my friend @slowwalker thanks for taking us down memory lane!

It is very sad that this happened.
I was very impressed with this sculpture.
Thank you for the photos and their detailed description, @slowwalker.
Let peace and prosperity reign in every family in Korea!
My best wishes to you, @singa.
What an interestimg history. I have always heard about the korean wall but i have never read about it. Thank uou @slowwalker for sharing. I wonder whar could have caused this war and oh the story of the two brothers, im glad to know it didnt end in tragedy.
Interesting and educating
This Korean war museum is interesting to visit because it displays a lot of war transport such as airplanes, tanks, ships and others, This place is perfect for those traveling carrying children. In addition to learning history, it also adds knowledge about all kinds of war tools. Interesting!
Lame
It's sad how almost forgotten the Korean War is in the United States. I guess it's over looked because we always seem to be starting a new one. :(
I really wish they would just end this split between them. They would both be much better off. Can’t believe how Trump canceled the meeting.
wow! a piece of art... i have not words
