The Baekbeom Kim Gu Statue at Baekbeom Square (白凡廣場) is a patriotic statue of Kim Gu (金九, 1876-1949), an independence activist, educator, and politician, who was an independence activist, educator, and politician and worked hard to establish a unified nation. This statue was erected in Baekbeom Square in Namsan Park in August 1969 to commemorate his spirit. Two months after his assassination in 1949, the Kim Gu Statue Construction Promotion Committee was established and discussions on erecting the statue began. The location was chosen as Namsan Park, the site of the Joseon Shrine during the Japanese colonial period. The statue was sculpted by sculptors Kim Gyeong-seung (金景承) and Min Bok-jin (閔福鎭) based on a plaster bust created in 1969 while alive with donations sent from various circles at home and abroad, making it 10 meters high. Under the leadership of the Baekbeom Kim Gu Memorial Association, formed in 1960, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the statue was held on April 8, 1969, and the statue unveiling ceremony was held on August 23, the day of his birth.
