Well, it's because they have to remember their career and what they do. For example, in Seoul, there is a statues of general called 'Soonsin Lee'and it's located in middle of the city. And he was born in Chosun dynasty and he saved the country from Japanese warrior at that time. So he is an hero in Korea so that's why his statues is located in the city.
