[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The study group of first-term lawmakers from the People Power Party, 'Myeongbulheojeon Bosuda,' will attend a lecture on the theme of 'The Independence Movement and the Identity of the Republic of Korea' on the 16th.

The lecture will be held at the Udang Memorial Hall in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and the speaker will be Lee Jong-chan, director of the Udang Memorial Hall and grandson of Lee Hoe-young, the first director of the National Intelligence Service and an independence activist. Yoon Joo-kyung, a People Power Party lawmaker and granddaughter of independence activist Yoon Bong-gil, said, "We requested this lecture to properly view our history and inquire about the path of Korean politics through a meeting with elders who have directly or indirectly experienced modern Korean history."

Heo Eun-ah, a People Power Party lawmaker serving as the secretary of this group, stated, “There is growing public anger over treasonous acts that exploit the past for personal gain, such as the divisive messages from Kim Won-woong, president of the Liberation Association, and the Yoon Mee-hyang incident related to the comfort women issue.” She added, “Through this lecture, we hope to seek a direction for legislative activities aimed at a future of unity rather than a history of division.”
