Program

The Hidden Story of Dictatorship and Democracy
: Seoul Korea Modern History In-Depth Tour

Departing from Gwanghwamun Station on Subway Line 5 in Seoul, this tour begins at the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, where you can gain a deeper understanding of the important context of post-war reconstruction, military regime, and civil resistance in Korea. Then, stroll through the lively alleys of Tongin Market and enjoy a meal filled with traditional Korean cuisine. Then, head to the KCIA headquarters in Namsan, a site of surveillance, political oppression, and torture, and the Korea Democracy Foundation, a symbol of the footsteps of Korean democracy, to face the dark shadows of modern Korean history.

These places, which once suppressed those who called for democracy, are now evidence of how difficult it was to achieve democracy in Korea. See this with your own eyes and ears through this tour. Also, feel the great resilience of the people who overcame all these difficulties and achieved democracy.
