From Gyeongseong to Seoul

Visiting the 'From Gyeongseong to Seoul' exhibition at the Seoul Museum of History brought up many thoughts. This exhibition focused on the historical transformation from Gyeongseong during the Japanese colonial period to Seoul after liberation. 🔮

The exhibition featured photos, videos, and models that captured the city's appearance and daily life at the time, allowing visitors to vividly experience the atmosphere of the era. Particularly striking were the stories of resilience and survival embedded in the name 'Gyeongseong,' despite the pain it carried. Additionally, observing the process of chaos, reconstruction, and growth into today's Seoul after liberation made me realize that urban development is not merely physical expansion but is shaped by people's lives and determination. 🍁

This exhibition provided a meaningful opportunity to reflect on Seoul's identity and historical significance. 🌳
