Before reaching the Seodaemun Prison History Hall, I passed by the Independence Park. I’m trying to console myself, if I were to take the subway; I might miss this park, hihi.
After paying 1500won as admission fee (though some websites said 1000won) to Soedaemun Prison History Hall. It was built near the end of the Joseon Dynasty (~1910), where many Korean patriots of the Independence Movement were tortured and executed by the Japanese. Seodaemun Prison History Hall was built in remembrance of Seodaemun Prison, and to salute the Korean patriots.

In Torture room, I saw frightening, recreated scenes with realistically audio effect of Korean victims being cruelly tortured. One of it is pulling off the nail or inserts a sharp object between the nail and flesh
Forgot the purpose of this room, short term memory loss after my dark chapter in the torture room
Execution room

There’s a story about this tree, but I have forgotten

This time, I played smart and took a subway to Gyeongbokgung Station for my next destination, Gyeongbokgung Palace.
