Korean Ambassador Han Duck-soo will attend the ceremony Monday to launch the garden, which has been built on 13,000 square meters of land near the School of International Service at the university. Ambassador Han will make congratulatory remarks on the opening of the garden at the ceremony.

Korea has donated two pairs of dol-harubang statues to American University. The original dol-harubang, or grandfather statues, were carved from lava rock in 1750 and placed outside the fortresses of Jeju Island as guardians of the island.
The Korea Forest Research Institute has donated Korean plants including cherry trees from Jeju Island identical to those planted on the AU campus in 1943 by Korea's first democratically elected President Syngman Rhee.
