<br>
<br>
Concerning the date of the Independence Arch relocation, definitely it happened in 1979 during the construction of Seongsan Road.

<br>
<br>
I've read this sentence several times and do believe I'm still
<br>
misreading something or need to doubt my eyes, but if it means
<br>
Tongnummun/Dongnimmun was moved, turned around, or in any way adjusted
<br>
in 1997 it just can't be accurate, as anyone who has lived in Seoul's
<br>
downtown neighborhoods in the last few decades can tell you. Obviously
<br>
it was moved at some point in history, and surely someone on this
<br>
listserve will be able to clarify when.
