[1] The mountain is sometimes called the Gaegol of the Honam Region, in reference to a nickname for Geumgangsan (now in North Korea).

Two monuments are found on or near the mountain; the first is a statue of General Yi Sun-sin, the other is of a famous singer Lee Nan-young.

An environmental association in Gwangju and Jeollanamdo selected this incident as the 10th worst attack on the environment in 2006.

The spectacle can be seen when climbing to the summit to look over Dadohaehaesang National Park with hundreds of islands within the view.

In 1982, the park was created for the outdoor exhibition to attract donations or to lease sculptures from the artists.
