The not the shopping stores...the actual gate is on fire.

what the hell???? how did it catch fire??????????????????

just read a news article on it... suspected ARSON???

Captain America must really hate this place much more than he originally stated!

Burnt to the ground...


And i just checked wikipedia.

Man they update that quick.

What a terrible loss!

The South Korea just lost No.1 national trasure..
There was just 8 fire extinguishers, inside or outside of the gate.
Can you believe that?
The god damn government spending money, like 3 million dollars in a year for the frigging ridiculous things and 8 fire extinguishers for the national treasure.
I don't wanna use the foul language in here but..
really..seriously..what a f**king government..

Our self-respect crumbled perfectly. So, I'm very very sad.
But the important thing is not the fire. We could clear the fire but the fire officers didn't know well about the building's structure. And also, they couldn't communcate with the public servant who manage the cultural assets.
The fire officers needed his help but Unfortunately, their communication was connected too late.
Now, our public servants are throwing their responsibility each other.
So, I hate our public servants so much. They are saying like this,
'It is not my mistake ! '
It is our system's big problem. You could see our society system's problems through the fire. They will never take the responsibility about the fire.
It is just Korea ! .
I'm so sad !

This is not just a loss for Korea, but for everybody. Americans, especially, tend to feel things like this because we don't have anything that can compare to the age and history of Namdaemun. I saw this quote in the Korea Herald this morning. I think it speaks volumes.

"I feel sorry to our descendents for failing to protect the gate." Lee Kyung-sook, the committee chairwoman.

Yes, I agree that. What the best important is nobody take the responsibility for the incident. Nobody say like this, 'It is my mistake or it is our mistake !'
So, our country can't be an advanced coountry. Im talking about our really form. Can you see that ? It is our actuality. I'm always say the truth but you are not.
