A low tide draws back like a curtain along Incheon’s coastal flats as the group steps onto the shore where history was made. Salt-sweet air and the distant churn of ferries frame the first stop at a memorial hall where maps, photographs and preserved artifacts condense the chaos of September 1950 into clear, human-scale decisions.
