Picture of the day
In 1921, the
Empire of Japan
turned a Korean royal cemetery into a golf course at what is now
Hyochang Park
. The tomb of
Royal Noble Consort Uibin Seong
was left directly on the course; it can be seen in the center of the picture, with a fence erected around it. Two Korean children
dressed in white
can be seen caddying for two golfers. A significant majority of players who used the course were Japanese. After the
liberation of Korea
in 1945, the park was turned into a memorial for
Korean independence activists
who resisted the
Japanese colonization of Korea
.
