'북악산, 52년 만 시민 품으로'…靑, 내달 1일 북측면 개방<br /><br />Behind the Blue House, where the South Korean president lives, a hiking trail on Mount Bukaksan is reopening to the public, having been closed for security reasons for the past 52 years.<br />Overlooking downtown Seoul, the trail was closed after the so-called January 21st Incident back in 1968, in which North Korean commandos used the trail in an attempt to assassinate the South Korean President at the time, Park Chung-hee.<br />When it opens this Sunday, the trail will enable hikers to see the different construction styles of the old Seoul city wall in one place.<br />It'll also be a quicker and easier route to the top of the mountain.<br />
