6년의 기다림…나란히 좌정한 두 국보 반가사유상 만난다

Starting Friday... museum-goers in South Korea will be able to see two national treasures on display permanently.
Reunited after six years apart, two gilt-bronze Buddhist statues... known as "Pensive Bodhisattva"... were unveiled on Thursday at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul in their own permanent display.
The statues date back to Three Kingdoms era in the late sixth or early seventh century
