Mirinae Holy Site in Anseong is the final resting place of Saint Andreas Kim Daegeon, Korea’s first Catholic saint, along with his mother Ursula, Bishop Ferréol—the third head of the Joseon parish who ordained Priest Kim—and Vincentius Lee Minsik, who buried Saint Kim’s body. The name ‘Mirinae,’ meaning ‘Milky Way’ in Korean, adds a celestial significance to the site. Saint Andreas Kim Daegeon, who was martyred at the age of 26, was buried here 40 days after his execution. Sanctification efforts began in earnest in 1972 and have since resulted in the establishment of a memorial church, a statue of Saint Kim, and a serene garden for reflection.

The background of the music video filled with pink lights symbolizing BLACKPINK is an outdoor theater at Kyung Hee University International Campus. It is a large outdoor theater that can accommodate about 6,500 people. The majestic building and fan-shaped seats make it look like an ancient Athenian temple. It is said to have been built based on the actual Theater of Dionysos in the 6th century BC. There is a lake behind the theater, so it is good to take a walk.
