This year marks the 40th anniversary of the May 18th Gwangju Democratization Movement. Jeon Doo-Hwan still claims that there were no helicopters fired, but the Jeonil Building, where the bullet remains, remains open to the public after four years of maintenance work.

Reporter KBC Gouri reports.

White concrete pillars are pitted all over the place.

Indentations are also visible on the floor and the exterior walls of the building.

In 2017, the National Institute of Scientific Investigation concluded that the trail was the bullet trail left while the helicopter was moving up and down.

The bullet from the top to the bottom can't come out without shooting from above the building, but Jeonil Building was the tallest building in Geumnam-ro at the time.

Jeonil Building, which retains traces of helicopter shooting, is finally open after four years of remodeling.

The 245 remaining bullets were left in the building and the name was changed to 'Jeonil Building 245'.

The Jeonil Building 245 has 245 bullets, as well as a number of places to report the devastation of May.

In addition to the old Jeonnam Ilbo editorial board, where civil and martial arts troops fought, you can also view photos and videos recorded in May 80.

Jeonil Building 245 is not the only memory of Gwangju in 80 years.

Namdo Tourism Center, Citizen's Gallery, Digital Information Library and other places in Gwangju are now in place.
