'Korea Alert' Professor Seo Kyung-deok of Sungshin Women's University and actress Cha Joo-young teamed up to release a multilingual video titled 'Light captured in anti-Japanese heritage' in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of liberation on the 5th.
This 4-minute and 30-second video was co-produced with the Korea Heritage Service and is being widely shared with netizens both domestically and internationally in Korean and English.
The main content of the video introduced 13 letters and proclamations that record the activities of the righteous armies that voluntarily rose against the invasion by Japan, known as the 'documents related to the righteous armies in the late Joseon period.'
Additionally, it shed light on Lee Beom-jin, who left behind a 'missile record' and gave his entire fortune before taking his own life, fulfilling his responsibility to the country, as well as the diplomacy of the Korean Empire during that period.
Professor Seo, who planned the video, noted, 'In honor of the 80th anniversary of liberation this year, we prepared a video campaign to introduce the cultural heritage of the anti-Japanese independence movement in a series domestically and internationally.'
In particular, he added, 'I wanted to first introduce the cultural heritage of the anti-Japanese independence movement online and to commemorate the 80th anniversary of liberation together through an offline exhibition.'
Cha Joo-young, who participated in the Korean narration, said, 'I am glad to be able to convey the anti-Japanese cultural heritage directly with my voice, and I hope many netizens both domestically and internationally will watch it.' While Song Hye-kyo has been engaged in good deeds alongside Professor Seo Kyung-deok for a long time, Cha Joo-young, who formed a bond with him through 'The Glory,' also participated in this good cause.
Meanwhile, the special exhibition 'Light captured in anti-Japanese heritage,' hosted by the Korea Heritage Service, will be held at Deoksugung Palace's Dondeokjeon from August 12th to October 12th.
