Former Command Center of the 1st Army Training Camp, Jeju

Former Command Center of the 1st Army Training Camp, Jeju: This building was constructed by the Japanese military during the Japanese colonial period, but after liberation it was used as the command post of the Republic of Korea Army's 1st Training Camp, established on Jeju Island. Unlike its symmetrical exterior, the interior was divided asymmetrically, partitioned according to the character and function of each space, and the inclusion of a space such as a public toilet inside the building was an unusual feature for its time. During the Korean War it trained large numbers of soldiers who made a major contribution to repelling the enemy, and it holds great significance as a representative symbol of the Korean War. Former Main Gate of the 1st Army Training Camp, Jeju: This consists of the gate posts of the 1st Army Training Camp (Gangbyeongdae), established on Jeju Island during the Korean War. Together with the already-registered Former Command Center of the 1st Army Training Camp, it carries historical symbolism as heritage related to the Korean War, and it also has spatial significance as the boundary dividing the training camp's northern grounds, where the camp itself was located, from the southern area, where facilities such as the chapel and hospital stood — marking the camp's inner and outer zones. The materials used to build the gate posts, Jeju basalt and shells, also clearly reflect the regional character. Accordingly, the Former Main Gate of the 1st Army Training Camp, Jeju, is registered together with the previously registered Former Command Center of the 1st Army Training Camp, Jeju, jointly as the Former Command Center and Main Gate of the 1st Army Training Camp, Jeju.
