El Cementerio Nacional 18 de Mayo, ubicado frente al monte Mudeungsan, es el símbolo de libertad y democracia y es un cementerio donde se encuentran los cuerpos de los caídos durante la lucha por la democracia en mayo de 1980. En 1980, las víctimas eran traídas en carretas o camiones de basura y eran sepultadas en el cementerio de Mangwol-dong. En 1997 este cementerio fue exhumado y transferido al Cementerio Nacional 18 de Mayo. La fecha es recordada para la revalorización del deseo de democracia del pueblo coreano.
