#1 the government did not take enough care with the appeal he filed after being insufficiently compensated for redevelopment in his residential area

So, the government kicked him out of his house as a favor to fatcat developers, gave him pennies on the dollar in compensation, and then told him to get lost. I'd set fire to something, too.

#2 The gate can't be as old as they claim. I seen photos of Seoul after the war. Nothing left. Flattened and burned.
A wood gate wouldn't have made it.
