(7)”Personally, I think it (the Gwanghwamun sign) should be in Korean,” he said.

Did Yoo In-chon suddenly fall in love with Hangul?

But why does it hold on to the Gwanghwamun plaque and sag?

The reason for this is that the old Gwanghwamun sign was in Korean.

Yes, in the past, Gwanghwamun was restored by Park Chung-hee with concrete rice cake.

The plaque was a plaque with his own handwriting on it.

I had to work hard to bring down Park Jung-hee Hyun-pan

I was able to restore Jung’s font.

This was accomplished during the Roh Moo-hyun presidency, when Yoo Hong-joon was head of the Cultural Heritage Administration.

The most prominent example of him scribbling all over the place is

An example is the plaque at the Asan County War Memorial in Chungcheongnam-do.

Of course, there’s also the
