Greetingman
Greetingman (Template:Lang-ko) is a modern sculpture project in South Korea.
Its main artist is Yoo Young-ho (South Korean sculptor). The concept provides a man, 6 m high, bowing in a typically Asian greeting gesture. The blue color means lack of prejudice.
In October 2012, a statue was unveiled in the neighbourhood of Buceo, Montevideo, Uruguay,[1] as part of a planned world series in multiple locations.[2][3]
Another statue was unveiled in October 2013 in South Korea, near the Korean Demilitarized Zone, in Haean, Yanggu County, Gangwon.[4]
A third statue was unveiled in January 2016 in Panama City, Panama, the second to be unveiled in Latin America.[5]
