Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “After Manhae Han Yong-un settled at Simujang in Seongbuk-dong, numerous unnamed independence activists who followed him moved their activities to the Seongbuk-gu area. Seongbuk-gu, which fully embraces their lives, takes special pride in being a city of independence activists. Despite the COVID-19 situation, we prepared this program reflecting the strong desire of residents for content that can recall the spirit of the independence movement while adhering to quarantine rules.”

The 'March 1st Movement Commemoration Event ? Daehan Independence Manse,' organized to inform local residents about the reopening of 'Cultural Space Yi Yuk-sa' and to overcome the COVID-19 crisis by embodying the independence spirit of ancestors who endured the harsh Japanese colonial period, offers experiences such as an exhibition of works by children and youth of Seongbuk-gu, making personalized stamps, pocket-sized independence declaration experiences, and a Manse Movement photo zone.

'Cultural Space Yi Yuk-sa' was opened in December 2019 to commemorate Yi Yuk-sa (李陸史, 1904?1944), a resistance poet and independence activist who lived in Jongam-dong, Seongbuk-gu.
