If one looks at the wall of faces, he can see the reflection of all 19 statues for a total of 38, representing the 38th parallel. The original plan was to have 38 statues, however this number was halved due to limitations on space.

Well, there are 19 soldiers, and the 19 reflections of the soldiers on the wall. 19 + 19 = 38, as in the 38th parallel, where the Korean War took place.

( I think. That's what my tour guide told us. )
