The cleaning work on the statue of the naval commander who repelled Japanese invaders in a famous 16th-century maritime battle during the Joseon Dynasty came a day after the nearby statue of King Sejong the Great in Gwanghwamun was also cleaned, as part of regular maintenance and preservation efforts with the arrival of spring.
Dust and other stains that had accumulated on these statues over the long winter months were washed away.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said it will keep maintaining key landmarks to ensure a pleasant urban environment for citizens.
