Hyung Yoon Cho - Week One Card News
Before the Pyeongchang Olympics in 2018, Gariwangsan was known for its beautiful landscape with unique animals and plants.
However, this captivating mountain was cut down for an 8-day festival. The Government promised to restore Gariwangsan; 4 years have passed and the restoration process has not yet begun.
Gariwangsan was originally not planned to be made as a ski resort. The mountain was a Forest genetic resource conservation, thus making it impossible for any civilians to take advantage of the mountain. Ironically, Gariwangsan was cut down after the Korean government had to make a ski course that fits the FIS(International Ski Federation) for a downhill course.
The conflict between the Korean government and the environmental activist groups has been long sustained. Experts predict that it will take nearly 7.7 million dollars to fully restore Gariwangsan.
Despite these immense costs, the South Korean government should start the restoration of Gariwangsan immediately.
