    Gwanghwamun Square is the main square in Seoul. It is located in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Here are the statue of King Sejong and the statue of Admiral Yi Sun Shin.

    It was the site of peaceful and impressive protests with hundreds of thousands of people leading to the resignation of President Park Geun-hye in 2016.
