cave where people took refuge during Jeju 4·3. At the 

end of the tunnel is “Baek Bi,” a nameless monument 

that awaits to be inscribed with the proper name of 

Jeju 4·3 and finally erected.

indoor events on Jeju 4·3 and screens videos that help 

visitors better understand Jeju 4·3.

during the scorched-earth operation and the massacres 

that continued on Jeju until the end of the Korean War.

types of artwork.
