The mountainous Inje County in Gangwon, South Korea, will set up a special monument commemorating Marilyn Monroe, who performed several times for US soldiers following the Korean War (1950-53), reports KoreaBizWire.com. The county will place the monument at Inje Catholic Church, where Monroe performed for American soldiers on a make-shift stage in February 1954.
UPDATE: Stars and Stripes, the daily newspaper for the US military community, has published an article about the planned monument – with links to archive stories about Marilyn. You can read it here.
