A Statue of peace was made to solve the problem of Japanese military sexual slavery victims. It has held regular protests every Wednesday since 1992 and Statue of Peace was first built in front of the Japanese Embassy in central Seoul on Dec. 14, 2011, the 1,000th anniversary of the demand rally. There are 129 statues in the country and several in other countries. The statue in Cheonan is one of them.
The Statue of Peace, often shortened to Sonyeosang in Korean or Shōjo-zō in Japanese and sometimes called the Comfort Woman Statue , is a symbol of the women forced into sexual slavery—known euphemistically as comfort women—by the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces before and during World War II—specifically, the period from the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War until the end of the Pacific War. The Statue of Peace was first erected in Seoul to urge the Japanese government to apologize to and honour the victims. It has since become a site of representational battles among different parties.

천안향교
A hyanggyo (local Confucian school) founded in the early Joseon period. Educational facility. Municipal (city)/provincial monument. Designated as a Chungcheongnam-do monument in 1997, during the Joseon Dynasty it received land, books, and slaves from the state so that one instructor could teach 30 students, but after the Gabo Reform and the implementation of the new educational system, its educational function ceased; now, it holds memorial rites in spring and autumn and offers incense on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
