Question about Korea, Republic Of
I’ve seen indoor type of memorial places for the deceased in books and popular television, but I’m unsure of what they’re called. It’s a place where there’s a reserved “locker-ish” space for someone where people can leave flowers or their other belongings.. what are these places called and are these memorial spaces temporary or permanent?
