Memorial Altar for Jeon Du-hwan Appears in Front of Bosingak... Removed After 2 Hours (Comprehensive)
[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] A memorial altar honoring former President Jeon Du-hwan was set up near Bosingak in Jongno-gu, Seoul, but was promptly dismantled.
According to Jongno-gu Office on the 24th, the conservative group Taegukgi Revolution National Movement Headquarters (Gukbon) erected three tents in front of Bosingak in Jongno-gu, Seoul, at around 5:10 a.m. that day and established a memorial altar to honor former President Jeon Du-hwan. It is reported that they installed the tents covertly during the late-night hours to avoid the attention of the police and the local district office.
Jongno-gu Office arrived at the scene, notified Gukbon that the memorial altar was an illegal structure, and dismantled the tents around 7:30 a.m., about two hours later.
