Seodaemun prison was a huge basement of Korean freedom fighters¡¯ haters. It was basically prison for five hundred people when it was first built. Though, it grew bigger and bigger to imprison as many freedom fighters as Japanese police can arrest. It is seemed that prisoners here had even harder life than Jews under Hitler; there was no escape tried by Koreans while some Jews had managed to escape the prison successfully.

           Seodaemun prison was nothing more but just one of the numerous Japanese prisons of Korean peninsula. This one is built in panoptical architecture style to watch prisoners all at once, effectively. As result, our ancestors with righteousness may have some hard time while being imprisoned.

          Inmates cannot just sit and eat; they work, get tortured for information, and they should do ¡°technical¡± exercise, which actually seems to be performed to make sure prisoners did not hid anything on the way to workshop. If they do all these arduous tasks, our ancestors were able to get a cup of rice; about 70% isn¡¯t rice but other cheaper grains, beans, or even up to rocks

In and next to the execution ground, cotton wood of bemoan, or Åë°îÀÇ ¹Ì·ç³ª¹«, takes place. The one nearer to execution ground is much smaller and thinner than the one farther. After the inmates were executed, Japanese watchers often cut the corpse into pieces through Seodaemun prison¡¯s secret door Sigumun, which basically means ¡°corpse gate¡±.

While watching these stuffs, I got infuriated at Japanese government, which had not changed a bit. I just reminded Japanese countermove against IS¡¯s inhumane murder of two Japanese citizens. I¡®d like to see Japanese government improving by being at least more mature than current status.
