Jeonju City to Complete Bohunnuri Park in the Second Half of This Year

Contributing to the Establishment of Veterans Culture and Fostering Patriotism... Mayor Kim Seung-su Checks Progress

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Han-ho] Jeonju City announced on the 7th that Bohun Park, a space honoring the noble spirits of patriotic martyrs and national veterans who sacrificed for the country, will be completed in the second half of this year.

Bohun Park, a long-cherished wish of veterans' organizations in the Jeonbuk region, is being developed on a 30,366㎡ site near the Jeonbuk Independence Movement Memorial Tower in Songcheon-dong, with a total project cost of 8.5 billion KRW.

The name of Bohun Park was decided as ‘Bohunnuri Park’ through a public contest held last year.

The park is being designed with storytelling around ‘Bohun’ (patriotic service) and ‘National Defense,’ divided into spaces for independence movement, national protection, remembrance and sublimation, and educational experience.

In the independence movement area, the existing facilities such as Chung Honggak and the Jeonbuk Independence Movement Memorial Tower will be relocated along with the Hwanggeukdan altar, while the national protection area will feature a memorial wall and an artificial pond.

The remembrance and sublimation area will include the National Defense Spirit Tower and a plaza, and the educational experience area, Bohun Exhibition Hall, will be equipped with content to learn and experience the modern and contemporary history of war, along with a system to commemorate national veterans who sacrificed for the country.

Meanwhile, on the 7th, Mayor Kim Seung-su of Jeonju visited the Bohunnuri Park construction site near the Jeonbuk Independence Movement Memorial Tower in Songcheon-dong to inspect the progress of the project.

Mayor Kim urged the project officials to complete the construction without delay so that Bohunnuri Park can become a space where citizens visiting the park can naturally learn the spirit of national defense and patriotic service and cultivate a love for the country.
