[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 27th, Hwang Yoon-chul, President of BNK Gyeongnam Bank, visited Gimhae City Hall in Gyeongnam and presented a donation certificate for the Garakgukgi symbolic sculpture to Mayor Heo Seong-gon.

This donation aims to contribute to establishing the identity of "Gaya Royal Capital Gimhae" by installing a sculpture containing the contents of the "Garakgukgi," the only existing historical record describing Gaya history.

Gyeongnam Bank plans to spend 200 million KRW on installation costs, place the order within this month, and complete the installation around April before donating it to the city.

The sculptures will be produced in two forms engraved with "The Birth of King Suro and the Founding of Gaya" and "The Marriage Story of King Suro and Queen Heo," and will be installed in front of the National Gimhae Museum and at the entrance of Gaya Theme Park, respectively.

President Hwang said, "Once the Garakgukgi symbolic sculptures are installed in April, the prestige of Gimhae, a cultural city embracing Gaya culture, will be further elevated," adding, "I hope the two Garakgukgi symbolic sculptures will become another attraction for local residents and tourists visiting the National Gimhae Museum and Gaya Theme Park."
