Currently residing in US; I was recently on the vacation to Korea and thought it would be fun to visit this museum again. While I was going to the museum when I got to Gaya (가야) section, I was wondering the soldier on a horse was still there. Lo and behold, he is still there. I swear it is the same animatronic from 20 years ago. Or did they updated him at some point? submitted by /u/sgy0003 |
I have not been to Lotte folks museum for nearly 20 years; I swear this is the same guy
