Kim Daejung Convention Center: events beside democracy history

Start at Kim Daejung Convention Center Station Exit 5 and connect Kim Daejung Convention Center, May 18 Liberty Park, Sangmu district walk. Allow 3–4 hours, but use this question to edit the day: “Place a current international event beside a difficult site of democratic memory without blending their purposes.” Recheck official opening, reservation and safety notices on the day; If convention access is restricted, view only public exteriors and devote more time to May 18 Liberty Park.
