Patriots and Veterans Minister Park Min-shik speaks during a press conference in Seoul on Oct. 11, 2023, regarding the ministry's decision to recommend the Gwangju city government drop its controversial plan to build a park in honor of Korea-born Chinese composer Jeong Yul-seong. The ministry attributed the recommendation to Jeong's record in fighting against South Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War. (Yonhap)
