The Dalseong Korea-Japan Friendship Center opened in 2012 to highlight the philanthropy of General Kim Chung-seon (Japanese name Sayaka, 1571-1642) and promote friendship between Korea and Japan. Kim Chung-seon was a Japanese general who defected to Korea during the Imjin War. Shortly after arriving on Korean soil as a commander of a Japanese army, Kim, together with his soldiers, defected to Korea, a choice that has been traditionally attributed to his respect for Korean culture. He transferred the technology of manufacturing rifles to the Korean army and contributed greatly in battles in Gyeongju and Ulsan.
A great number of tourists visit the center to learn about history, including students and their parents, as well as numerous Japanese tourists who visit to commemorate the spirit of General Kim. The center features exhibition rooms, a 3D theater, a tea ceremony room, relics, manifestations of traditional games in Korea and Japan, documents from Wakayama prefecture in Japan, and a site for experiencing archery, all of which can be utilized free of charge.

Holy place for SHINee fans
It is a small Tteokbokki restaurant in front of an elementary school without a prominent sign, but it is a must-visit place for SHINee fans. It was because Key stopped by every day when he was in elementary school. It is fun to see the store filled with SHINee's albums and photos. Sweet Tteokbokki with a lot of cabbage is not irritating, so you can eat it without burden. If you mix this with Daegu's specialty Flat Mandu, it's the best combination. Listening to the pleasant story of the owner of this restaurant creates new memories.
