일해공원

Ilhae Park is a public park in Korea, named after the pen-name (Ilhae) of former South Korean president Chun Doo-hwan (1931-2021), who served as the 11th and 12th president of the Republic of Korea (1980-1988). The park's naming context is politically sensitive in Korea — Chun's presidency was marked by the May 1980 Gwangju Uprising (where Chun's military regime ordered the violent suppression of the pro-democracy uprising), and Chun was later convicted of sedition and corruption. The park itself functions as a public-park space with walking paths, themed garden zones, and recreational facilities, but the naming connection makes it a politically-charged destination. Best understood within the broader context of Korean political memory.
