To mark the 106th anniversary of Samil Day, Professor Seo Kyoung-duk of Sungshin Women's University and actress Song Hye-kyo collaborated to produce a multilingual video titled "Female independence warrior, Park Cha-jung," which has been publicly released both domestically and internationally.
This 4-minute and 30-second video was planned by Professor Seo and sponsored by Song Hye-kyo, featuring Korean and English narration that is widely being disseminated to internet users at home and abroad.
The main content of the video provides a detailed introduction to the special envoy of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, core officials of the Korean Women’s Association, the founding of the Nanjing Korean Women’s Association, and instructive activities at the Korean Revolutionary Military and Political Officers School.
It particularly emphasizes that she is the second female independence activist to be posthumously awarded the Order of Merit for National Foundation, following Yu Gwan-sun.
Professor Seo, who planned the video, noted, "I wanted to shed light on the lives of female independence activists who are not well known to the public and widely introduce them both domestically and internationally, so I produced this fourth video following Jeong Jeong-hwa, Yoon Hee-soon, and Kim Maria."
He also added, "In the future, I plan to continuously produce a series of multilingual videos about more female independence activists and spread them both domestically and internationally."
Currently, the video is being disseminated not only on YouTube but also through various social media platforms, and it is being shared with Korean communities around the world to raise awareness.
Meanwhile, Seo Kyoung-duk and Song Hye-kyo have donated Korean language guides, Korean signs, and relief sculptures of independence activists to 37 locations of Korean independence movement sites remaining overseas over the past 14 years.
