'Korean express' Park Chan-ho conveyed heartfelt reflections on the occasion of Liberation Day.
On the 15th, Park Chan-ho posted a video of the Taegeukgi on his Instagram, starting with the sentence, 'My heart is set ablaze. That's what the Taegeukgi is.' He said, 'How many tears of joy did our ancestors shed on this day 80 years ago as they welcomed liberation?' and he recalled the sorrow of the countless victims who fought for liberation and the families they left behind.
He continued, 'Liberation means reclaiming the light, and within that light lies the brief lives of our ancestors who lived through an incredibly painful, sorrowful, unjust, and dark time. The ancestors who endured such times have bestowed upon us the light of liberation and the spirit of patriotism.' Park Chan-ho emphasized the need for future generations to carry on the cultural heritage and spirit they inherited, urging, 'May our youth contribute to building a slightly better country.'
He also noted, 'I'm sorry, my young ones. Thank you, my young ones. I love you, our youth. Let's do our best, Republic of Korea!' and added, 'For once, I got fired up with patriotism and became a TMT (Too Much Talker). I tortured you young ones with my unwavering love for our country. Sorry,' bringing smiles.
In response, internet users expressed their enthusiasm, saying, 'Even if the text is long, it's great; every word resonates,' 'I want to hear messages like this every year,' 'As a youth of the Republic of Korea, my heart swells,' and 'Park Chan-ho's patriotism is conveyed just as it is.'
