Statue of Peace, Bronze memorial statue near Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea.
The statue depicts a young woman in traditional Korean dress sitting on a chair with clenched fists, facing the Japanese Embassy building in central Seoul.
The statue was erected on December 10, 2011, to honor Korean women who endured sexual slavery under Japanese military control during World War II.
Regular gatherings occur at the statue location every Wednesday, where citizens assemble to support the recognition of historical wartime experiences.
The memorial stands permanently accessible to visitors at the intersection of Sajik-ro and Hyoja-ro streets, adjacent to the Japanese diplomatic mission.
Empty chairs next to the statue encourage visitors to sit beside the figure, creating physical engagement with the memorial representation.
