[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Go Dal-young] Juchon-myeon, Jinan-gun (Mayor Hwang Yang-ui) announced on the 29th that instead of holding the 65th Memorial Day ceremony on the 6th of next month to honor and commemorate the spirits of patriotic martyrs and national heroes, a self-service memorial incense altar will be set up to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The self-service memorial incense altar, located at the Daehanui Monument in Juyang-ri, was established in 1968 to honor the spirits of 33 patriotic soldiers who participated in the Korean War and defended the nation's freedom and peace.

The self-service memorial incense offering can be performed by any citizen at their preferred time after a one-minute moment of silence at 10 a.m. on the 6th, synchronized nationwide with the Memorial Day siren.

However, to comply with social distancing guidelines, participants must wear masks, and during the busy morning hours, attendance will be managed by related officials to disperse visitors.

Hwang Yang-ui, Mayor of Juchon-myeon, said, “It is regrettable to downscale this important Memorial Day event due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, but our sincere respect for the patriotic martyrs and national heroes remains unchanged.”
