Gimpo Foreign Language High School

Gimpo Foreign Language High School is a boarding high school in Gimpo, South Korea specialising in the teaching of foreign languages. Construction of the school building began in December 2004; the school opened its doors to students in March 2006, having spent ₩21 billion on construction. The director Jeon Byeong-du, a construction equipment magnate, used his own fortune to build the school, joking that he would rather give something back to society than leave his money to his children and start an inheritance dispute. Students can choose to study English, Chinese, or Japanese. The school admitted 290 students in its first year, divided into eight classes (four for English and two each for Chinese and Japanese). Just one year after its establishment, the school became the object of controversy when it was revealed that test questions for its entrance examination, along with those of Myeongji Foreign Language High School and Anyang Foreign Language High School, had been leaked to students of a Seoul cram school; provincial education officials cancelled the admissions of the 54 students in question and held an extra examination to fill the seats which opened up as a result. Twinned with the University of Wisconsin in 2021. References External links Homepage (in Korean, English, and Japanese)
National Memorial Museum of Forced Mobilization under Japanese Occupation

The National Memorial Museum of Forced Mobilization under Japanese Occupation (Korean: 국립일제강제동원역사관) is a national history museum in Busan, South Korea. It first opened on December 10, 2015. It covers the Japanese colonial period (1910–1945), in particular when Koreans were forced to perform labor and moved to other places to support Japan. The museum was founded by the South Korean Ministry of the Interior and Safety, although jurisdiction was transferred to the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs in 2016. As of 2023, admission into the museum is free of charge. Its director is Park Cheolgyu. History In 2017, Jikai Taketomi, a Japanese man who runs a private war archive in Japan, donated 30 items from his collection to the museum, and offered his apologies for Japan's role in World War II. In 2018, a bronze statue that had been illegally erected in protest in front of the Japanese Consulate General in Busan was moved to the museum, despite pushback from the protestors who installed it. In October 2019, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama visited the museum. Hatoyama said after the visit: I hope that Japanese people visit this place, and humbly face the historic truth... I deeply apologize for the fact that 8 million of about 20 million Joseon (Korean) people at the time were forcefully mobilized as military personnel, civilians attached to the military, and forced laborers, and many lost lives... Japanese people should learn many things from history like this, and should open up the future with a sense of responsibility as perpetrators.
