Despite its location on the route through the heart of Seoul, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and strengthening tourism still not disclosed to the general public behind the facade. The axis linking Gwanghwamun historic Town Hall, Sungnyemun, and Seoul Station recently received considerable attention with Gwanghwamun the Plaza as a place of communication and interaction between Korean citizens. This gives a symbolic meaning to the Minister of Culture, Sports, and strengthening of tourism, as the building violates exclusive prints. The story of five thousand years the emergence of Korea and Korea as a leader in the global culture are summarized by the phrase “Dynamic Korea.”
