It had a view to the 1980 Gwangju Uprising and the deadly military suppression of it. The building housed a few newspapers at the time, and soldiers opened fire on them from a helicopter. For decades after, the building was still in use, the shots fired just a hot-headed allegation. Then finally around the time of the fall of Park Geun-hye, the government did an actual check and found verification of the bulletholes.

|
|
It will be reopened for the public in 2020 in time for the 5.16 anniversary. The whole building will undergo renovation, except the bulletholes. 20200518 update: seems like remodeling is complete.
