[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seongjang Hyun) has created a Taegukgi Street along a 710m section near Hyochang Park Entrance Station on Subway Line 6 to commemorate the 103rd anniversary of the March 1st Movement.

This was done to celebrate the March 1st Movement and honor the spirit of independence activists in a situation where holding a commemorative ceremony is difficult due to COVID-19.

The district raised 35 street flags along the roadside using streetlights over a 510m section from Hyochang Park Entrance Station to the entrance of Hyochang Park, and planted 30 Taegukgi trees over a 200m section near the entrance of Hyochang Park.

The Taegukgi Street can be visited until March 6.

Seongjang Hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “We created Taegukgi Street around Hyochang Park, a sacred site of the independence movement where patriot Baekbeom Kim Gu and other independence activists rest, to provide an opportunity to inspire patriotism in daily life. I hope that walking along Taegukgi Street will be a time to share the spirit of the March 1st Movement and reflect on the meaning of loving our country.”
