Description: This article centers around the three memorials of Korean participation in the Vietnam War. It contains an in-depth study of the various methods used to reproduce memories about the war, the conflicts surrounding the memorials and the characteristics of politics of memory. The three memorials - the Korea-Vietnam Peace Park in Phu Yen as a counter memory against the official memory, the monument donated by Korean veterans of the Vietnam War in the village of Ha My, and the meeting place for Vietnam War veterans constructed in Kangwon province as a symbol of official memory - do not only carry mere material and spatial significance, but they also represent the ways in which the Korean society confronts the memory and history of the Vietnam War. These memorials have acted as mirrors reflecting the past and present Korea-Vietnam relations and as criteria to determine how Korea should establish relations with Vietnam and the world based on the past history.
