To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University and actor Kim Nam-gil have joined forces to release a video highlighting hidden histories within the city, it was announced on the 14th.
This 11-minute video was produced as part of the KB Kookmin Bank 'Korea Lived' campaign, and it will be released first in Korean, followed by an English version next week.
In this video, Professor Seo and Kim Nam-gil appear together to grant a direct guide to independence movement historic sites in the city.
The main content of the video includes detailed introductions to Bukchon Village, which was protected by the architectural king Jeong Se-kwon, the house Dilkusha of Albert Taylor, and the Yun Dong-ju Memorial Hall dedicated to the poet Yun Dong-ju.
Professor Seo, who planned this project, noted, "To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, I wanted to widely introduce little-known independence movement historic sites within the city to online users." He also added, "I hoped to promote our history to overseas tourists by producing it not only in Korean but also in English with a Hallyu star, and to assist their visit."
In particular, actor Kim Nam-gil said, "I just hope that a lot of domestic and international online users watch this video and then visit the historic sites."
Meanwhile, KB Kookmin Bank and Professor Seo Kyung-duk have produced multilingual videos related to a total of 14 independence activists, including Jeon Hyung-pil, Kang Woo-kyu, Jo Myeong-ha, and Seo Young-ha, and have widely promoted them both domestically and internationally.
