U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 210th Field Artillery Brigade participated in a Community Relations (COMREL) tour in Seoul on Feb. 29, 2024. The group of 44 Soldiers try on hanboks, traditional Korean clothing, and eat lunch at Insadong Shopping Street before exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, built in 1395, was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. It is the largest of the Five Grand Palaces built by the dynasty and served as the seat of government and home of the royal family.

USAG Yongsan-Casey organizes over 100 COMREL events per year to increase cross-cultural understanding and improve the quality of life of military service members and their families while abroad. (U.S. Army photos by Song A. Kim)
