Jungang-dong 40 Steps (www.bosubook.com)

Jungang-dong's 40 steps were installed to facilitate the travel between the old Busan Station and the International Passenger Terminal in today's Yeongju-dong. These steps were a reunion place for families separated during the Korean War, and symbolized the joys and sorrows of refugee life, making them the most familiar place for over 100,000 refugees. This place became famous in 1951 when Park Jae-hong's popular song "Gyeongsangdo Girl" became popular, and this song was about the hardships of refugee life. At that time, people used to look at Yeongdo Bridge from the 40 Steps to soothe the hardships of refugee life. The 40 Steps, which used to be about 4m wide, have now been reduced in width, losing their original appearance. Thus, the steps located about 25m south of the original 40 steps are now called the 40 Steps. In August 1993, the '40 Steps Monument' was built on the steps that were separated from their original location, and the lyrics of the popular song 'Gyeongsangdo Girl' and the origin of the steps were engraved on the back
