[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] In Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, a road has been constructed to highlight the significance of Changwon as the birthplace of the Republic of Korea Marine Corps and as a symbol that promoted democratization throughout Korean society.

The city announced on the 5th that it has designated honorary road names to raise awareness of the Marine Corps' status and to honor the meaning and spirit of the democratization movement, completing the installation of honorary road name signs on the 2nd.
