It was built with the hope that the values ​​of democracy, human rights, and peace, which are the spirit of President Kim Dae-jung, will spread widely to the five oceans and six continents. #Republic of Korea #Jeollanam-do #Mokpo-si #Kim Dae-jung Nobel Peace Prize Memorial Hall #Domestic Travel #December Travel Support Grant Event
