Avenida República de Corea (lit. 'Republic of Korea Avenue'; Korean: 대한민국로) is a major avenue in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. It was previously named Avenida 7 (lit. 'Avenue 7'), but was renamed in honor of South Korea in 2017.[1] The local government unanimously approved the new name for the avenue on 19 August of that year.[2] This followed South Korean investments in road infrastructure in the city.[1] As thanks for the gesture, South Korea offered to install a monument in the future highlighting the friendship between the two countries.[2] The monument was unveiled on 17 March 2021; it is one in a series of statues called Greetingman, which depict a six-meter-tall humanoid figure bowing respectfully.[3][4]
