Synopsis
A battered watchtower stands on a hilltop in Yaksa-dong, Chuncheon. Its origins remain unclear, with speculation that it was built as a fire watch during the Japanese Imperial period. The structure later served as a surveillance point for the Chuncheon Penitentiary. Today, it functions as a broadcasting tower, where sirens sound during Civil Defense Drills. The documentary presents the history and current role of this unusual landmark in the community.
