There are more sculptures than we thought on the campus of Hongik University, which is located on a crowded street. In addition to representative sculptures called Wow sculptures, such as the "Eternal Smiles", Bronze figures, and Wow Family Statues, there are quite a few sculptures that have been quietly placed in every corner of the campus. I visited the sculptures, took pictures, and looked into their history and the meaning behind some of them. Shall we go to the world of some of the most beautiful work, sculptures, created by human hands?
