I've seen different numbers for how many memorials havce been set up around Korea for Roh Moo-hyun, though
this government page says 197. It has 18 in Jeollanam-do, though because local papers only update once a week or so, I won't have pictures until later.
OhMyNews has a nice gallery of photographs taken at the makeshift Roh Moo-hyun memorial outside of Choeun Plaza in Suncheon's Yeonhyang-dong. Turns out that actually one of my coworkers took them, as he's a regular contributor over there. Click on the slideshow there to see more. The article says 1,200 people signed in at the memorial on the 25th.
I visited myself after school on Monday, and
snapped a few pictures. Out of respect, and because a photographer had his camera pointed at me the whole time, I didn't take any pictures up close, so I'll refer you to the OhMyNews gallery. Here's a few, mostly of the signage:
Roboseyo posted some pictures
to Hub of Sparkle of makeshift memorials near City Hall in Seoul. I like
all the cigarettes offered to Roh, a heavy smoker.

That guy with the camera on you is an asshole. Why didnt you ask him what he thought he was doing? What WAS he doing? Why would he do that?
There was a small memorial shrine on a corner opposite McDonalds in Shinchon. I saw a few people there and a pasty white boy in a tank top going to lay a carnation at the shrine. I guess he though he would win Korean points with whoever he was with.
