Seoul City Renovates Seoul Library Kkumsaegimpan for the 102nd Anniversary of the March 1st Movement
Reflecting on the Spirit of the 3.1 Movement Sustained Over 1,700 Cases to Strengthen the Will to Overcome COVID-19
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] To commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the March 1st Movement, Seoul City announced on the 25th that it will newly renovate the Seoul Plaza Dream Saegim Board featuring the phrase "The March 1st Movement Did Not End in One Day."
The March 1st Movement, which began in Seoul with the reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Manse (Long Live) demonstrations, did not end on March 1st alone but continued throughout 1919 with over 1,700 Manse movements, making it the largest national movement in Korean history.
Based on this historical fact, the new Dream Saegim Board symbolizes the Korean people's relentless efforts and indomitable spirit to achieve independence through multiple calendar pages depicting various forms of the movement. Amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and increasing difficulties faced by citizens, it reflects the determination to overcome current challenges together by recalling the spirit of the March 1st Movement.
This Dream Saegim Board is posted on Seoul City's official SNS channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, KakaoStory), making it easily accessible to all citizens.
Meanwhile, Seoul City is planning various online contents to help citizens reflect on the significance of March 1st. The "Seoul in My Hand" platform will publish historical and cultural exploration reports by Seoul citizen reporters about notable Seoul sites related to the March 1st Movement. Additionally, Seoul Love, My Friend Seoul, and Seoul City's official Naver blog are preparing features introducing Seoul's landmarks connected to the March 1st Movement.
