In May 1980, Mokpo Station Square became a gathering place for citizens demanding democracy. According to Mokpo City's heritage record, a memorial altar was established on the first floor of the station and a citizens' democratic struggle committee on the second. The register also associates Seokhyeon-dong intersection with the movement of citizen forces. Sites linked to former security and military-police facilities recall detention and other painful experiences. Memorial plaques and markers help visitors understand how ordinary streets became part of the history of democratization. These accounts follow the city's official records; access to buildings and the current condition of individual markers should be confirmed independently.
