On Guard

The soldiers left with rifles. In the pitch-black night, the only objects to be seen are the metal fence and the searchlights. Day or night, snow or rain, the protection of the borders cannot be taken lightly. With one day to the 56th anniversary of the Korean War, the soldiers are on alert. The scene is on the night of June 24 at the central west border of Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi.
