This statue is located outside of the War Memorial in Seoul. It
comes from a real story of two Korean brothers who were separated by the
war. The elder brother who was a ROK (South Korea ) army officer,
met his younger brother, who was a soldier in North Korean People's Army,
on the battle ground. The staute also expresses the strong desire
of the Koreans of both sides for reunion.
