The story of the Seoul Korea Temple is not just about a building; it’s about the people and their faith. At a time of national unrest and rebuilding the gospel of Jesus Christ came to the people of Korea. Getting the temple built was a matter of necessity, as the government would not let couples leave together to go to the Hawaii or Tokyo temples.

It sounds like a gorgeous building, inside and out. And if you watch one famous K-Drama, you might sneak a peek at it!
