Korean Celebs Commemorate 99th Independence Movement Day
Today is March 1 in Korea and it is a day to commemorate Samiljeol which is also known as the Independence Movement Day. This year marks the 99th anniversary as nationalists proclaimed Korea’s independence from Japanese rule through a series of demonstrations all over Korea in 1919. The independence movement continued with approximately 2 million Koreans participating in more than 1,500 demonstrations. Many were wounded, arrested, and killed, and the commemoration of this day is not only filled with pride, but also thoughtful reflection for those who died for their country.
Many celebrities have been posting to their social media accounts messages to honor this day, including an image of the Korean flag. Many of the posts remind people not to forget the sacrifices made, and also thanks those who fought for freedom.
