Greetingman

Greetingman statue, Buceo neighbourhood, Montevideo, Uruguay.

Greetingman (Korean: 그리팅맨) is a modern sculpture project in South Korea.

Its main artist is Yoo Young-ho. 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]
