Mirinae Holy Site in Anseong is the final resting place of Saint Andreas Kim Daegeon, Korea’s first Catholic saint, along with his mother Ursula, Bishop Ferréol—the third head of the Joseon parish who ordained Priest Kim—and Vincentius Lee Minsik, who buried Saint Kim’s body. The name ‘Mirinae,’ meaning ‘Milky Way’ in Korean, adds a celestial significance to the site. Saint Andreas Kim Daegeon, who was martyred at the age of 26, was buried here 40 days after his execution. Sanctification efforts began in earnest in 1972 and have since resulted in the establishment of a memorial church, a statue of Saint Kim, and a serene garden for reflection.

'Dynamite' music video
It is a theme zone in Everland created with the theme of American rock and roll culture in the 1960s. BTS planned to sing "Dynamite," a song that topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, live on the American NBC talent show "America’s Got Talent," but it was not possible due to COVID-19, so it was pre-filmed here with a retro concept. The music video recorded 100 million views on YouTube on the day it aired. Rocksville also emerged as a new attraction of Everland after BTS visited. The photo spot is in front of Starlight Restaurant where BTS danced.
