March 1st Movement and Memorial of 3‧1 Independence Declaration
COVER STORY March 1st Movement and Memorial of 3‧1 Independence Declaration
1919년 4월 15일 그날을 기억하다
Remembering April 15, 1919 This year marks the centennial of the March 1st Movement and is also the 100th year anniversary of the establishment of the provisional government. On March 1, 1919, the Korean people shouted and cried out, "Manse!" expressing their desire and yearning for independence. The "Manse" movement that spread across the nation was a movement for independence from Japan's colonial rule and a struggle for the values of freedom, democracy and equality. Hwaseong was no exception. Citizens in Hwaseong climbed 80 mountains and raised their torches high to resist Japan’s colonial domination. In every region of Hwaseong, the "Manse" movement was conducted in various ways, depending on the conditions of the villages.

독립과 민주주의에 대한 염원이 한 맺힌 곳, 서대문형무소
Seodaemun Prison: A Place Full of Desire for Independence and Democracy Seodaemun Prison is fairly different from any other museum. Not only is the museum built to preserve and display historical relics and artifacts, but the Seodaemun Prison itself is a scar of history. A large number of independence fighters and democracy revolutionaries were imprisoned in Seodaemun Prison, which had been used as a prison facility for about 80 years since 1908. These fighters and revolutionaries fought hard for independence and democracy while facing various hardships. This is also why the Seodaemun Prison is being highlighted, as the 100th year anniversary of the March 1st Movement is celebrated. The following is an interview with Park Kyung-mok, director of the Seodaemun Prison. This interview was conducted to help the public remember the significance of Seodaemun Prison, and to share the stories of the patriots who fought for our independence.

Honoring Frank Schofield, the 34th Korean Patriot with Blue Eyes Frank Schofield is called a national patriot along with the other 33 national leaders of the March 1st Movement. This is an expression that testifies to the importance of Schofield's role in the March 1st Movement. He played a particularly important role in informing the world about the terrible situation that our people faced after Japan's occupation of Korea, and the nationwide independence movement in which Koreans were participating. Even Yun Chi-ho, who had been skeptical about the March 1st Movement, described Schofield in his diary:

유기적 관점에서 새롭게 조감한 한반도 통일론
A New View on the Unification Theory of the Korean Peninsula from an Organic Perspective As inter-Korean relations and the surrounding political landscape have begun to change recently, we have had to reexamine the meaning of the concept of unification. The era of crisis and change calls for new insights and approaches to the problem, and inter-Korean relations and unification are no exception. There is a strong need to understand the unification problem from a new perspective, while dispelling society's uneasiness related to the astonishing development of the situation. If we do not deeply consider how to tackle the unification problem while keeping in mind certain philosophies and objectives, it will be difficult to grasp the elusive, long-awaited, forth-coming "historical opportunity."

외부인의 시선으로 독도영유권의 실체를 보여주는 책
A book that shows the true nature of Dokdo's sovereignty through the eyes of a foreigner The fact that Ulleungdo and Dokdo were the intrinsic territories of the Korean people can be confirmed through the large amounts of data excavated in both Korea and Japan. However, as the Japanese government insists on Japanese sovereignty over Dokdo, the Japanese-Korean relations are deteriorating. Moreover, the conflict worsens as the Japanese government tries to solve the Dokdo territorial issue through a third party, such as the International Court of Justice. If this is the case, is Japan's claim of Dokdo as Japanese territory reasonable? To answer this question, it is necessary to illuminate the situation starting in the 19th century.

'용정 3·13운동'에 앞장선 한인 동포들
Ethnic Koreans Leading the “Yongjeong March 1st Movement” Recently, it was the 100th anniversary of the March 1st Movement. We are all well-aware of the exceptional significance of this day, the centennial of both the March 1st Movement and the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. The March 1st Movement not only spread all throughout Korea, but it also became a sensation in Manchuria (northeastern China) where a significant number of ethnic Koreans reside. Notably, up to 30,000 ethnic Koreans participated in the "Manse" movement that took place on March 13, 1919 (Thursday, Feburary 12 on the lunar calendar) in Yongjeong, North Gando (now, China's Yanbian), crying out for national independence and liberation. Today, academia in Yanbian calls this movement the "March 13th Anti-Japan Protest Movement," or the "March 13th Mass Anti-Japan Movement."
