I have to say that Chae is totally wrong to say that nobody got hurt. All Koreans have been insulted and are angry that such a world heritage site, boasting 600 years of history, has been destroyed.

I am angry and disappointed that such a national treasure has been destroyed. There is no way that the gate can be restored.

An action like this must never be tolerated and Chae's action can never be forgiven. Worse, he has committed such crime not once but twice - he destroyed a palace in 2006.

I had planned to visit the gate, but what is the point when the once beautiful site but what is the point now that it is even more eerie than a place where dead people are buried?

I believe many Koreans and foreigners are offended and angry at Chae for destroying not one but two such beautiful national treasures. They can never be rebuilt. It is wrong of Chae to say that cultural heritage can be restored.
