A future story that begins anew in a forgotten land.

Knowing history is not limited to understanding the past; it means having your own perspective that can envision the future. Therefore, if we properly understand history and have a correct understanding of history, it will be a great asset in our lives.
The DMZ serves as a particularly valuable example for understanding the history of the Korean Peninsula, particularly during the Korean War, division, and the inter-Korean conflict. The DMZ's birth and the 70 years of division are crucial parts of our history.

"Beyond the Past, Walking into the Future? Exploring the DMZ and the Border Area!"
