Should Korean Letters Be added to Traditional Buildings?
Olivia: No. Traditional buildings, such as Gwanghwamun, should be preserved in their original form. They represent Korea’s long history and cultural identity. Even small changes could harm their authenticity. Future generations should be able to see these sites exactly as they were in the past.
Liam: Yes. I was impressed by BTS’ comeback concert at Gwanghwamun in Seoul. Afterward, I searched for photos of the traditional site online, but I mostly saw Chinese characters instead of Korean letters. That made me think adding Korean letters could help more people understand these buildings.
