No the statue is not on Cheju, but it is not to far from a US military installation in Korea.

Seoul Horse Track, Don Quixote, or former President No Muh Hyun on the white stallion the glorious leader Kim Jong Il was born on in a Soviet barracks in the Russian Far East.

No to all of those guesses but funny.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Rusty Old Hyundai Parts, and the smell of soju and burnt motor oil followed with him.

KINTEX, Daehwa-dong Ilsan?

All are incorrect. Here is a further hint. It is not located in the Seoul area.

Busan Olympic Park?
6:35 pm on May 3rd, 2008 12
Brian is getting closer to the right city. The statue is in Gyeongsang-do.
11:07 pm on May 3rd, 2008 13
Final guess: Oedo?

incheon park? Near Mac?
6:53 am on May 4th, 2008 15
It is in Gyeongsang-do but not in Pusan and is not on an island and is near a USFK installation.

No not that either.

ummm.. yongsan park?
1:55 am on May 5th, 2008 19
Well, based entirely on your clues, I’m going to say it’s in Jinhae… but I have no idea about the statue itself.
3:36 am on May 5th, 2008 20
Not Jinhae or Yongsan Park.

Seoul olympic sculpture park?
9:54 pm on May 5th, 2008 22
Something just occurred to me… the rider is composed of STEEL PRODUCTS.
So… is it in Pohang, near Camp MuJuk?
1:30 am on May 6th, 2008 23
(Okay, that wasn’t my final guess.)
Gimhae? A sculpture of a robot riding a rebellious horse in Gimhae?

sejong arts center? Is the artist Jong Hea Jeong
5:17 am on May 6th, 2008 25
Some good guesses but no one still hasn’t got it. Here is a further hint. It is in a major city in Gyeongsangbuk-do.
6:41 am on May 6th, 2008 26
General Kwak Jaewoo, Mangudang Park, Daegu.
7:58 am on May 6th, 2008 27
With that clue seems like it is in Deagu somewhere. So either close to Walker or Henry.
8:00 am on May 6th, 2008 28
Or maybe somewhere in pohang.
11:54 am on May 6th, 2008 29
Apsan park in Daegu?
4:40 pm on May 6th, 2008 30
Duryu park?
4:57 pm on May 6th, 2008 31
You guys are getting closer, because it is in Daegu but no one has correctly stated where in Daegu it is located.

Dalseong park

I will go ahead and give the answer to this one.
This statue sits in the middle of Sky Park located on the roof of the the Dae Beck Plaza Department Store near Camp Walker and Henry.
Thanks to the reader in Daegu who sent this one in.
7:07 am on May 7th, 2008 35
You gave us the where can you tell us what it is supposed to be a statue of… That was a hard one…
8:55 am on May 7th, 2008 36
It is supposed to be a sculpture of the devil with a boner on horseback if you can believe it. Yes it was definitely a hard one. I would not have been able to answer that one myself either since I have never spent any significant amount of time in Daegu.
If anyone else has some good images they think can make for a good Korea Finder go ahead and send them in.

OinK.
1:55 pm on May 7th, 2008 38
I didn’t realize Daegu was part of Gyeongsangnam-do. That’s what threw me. (Not that I would have guessed it anyway.)
4:18 pm on May 7th, 2008 39
Brian Daegu is not part of Gyeongsangnam-do, but is the capitol of Gyeongsangbuk-do.
5:36 pm on May 7th, 2008 40
Ah, okay, I missed your last mention of “buk.”
