"I am a Proud Citizen of Daehan __!" Seoul City Renovates Seoul Dream Billboard for March 1st Movement Day

#AnotherYuGwansun #103rdSamiljeol Handwritten Relay via SNS, Participation Event

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] "I am a proud citizen of Daehan. As a person of Daehan, I do not need to stand trial by you, nor do you have the right to punish me."

On the 28th, Seoul City will complete the renovation of the large front-facing signboard at Seoul Library, the 'Seoul Dream Engraving Board,' in celebration of the March 1st Movement Day. The phrase “I am a proud citizen of Daehan _____!” which allows participation in the cry of Yu Gwan-sun, a symbol of the March 1st Movement and the Taegeukgi flag, draws attention.

The cry of Yu Gwan-sun, who died in Seodaemun Prison while participating in the March 1st Movement’s independence shout during the Japanese colonial period, is still deeply remembered in our hearts more than 100 years later. To ensure that this cry does not remain a lonely call of the martyr alone but spreads as a call of all people and honors that spirit, Seoul is conducting an SNS participation campaign along with the posting of the Seoul Dream Engraving Board.

First, Seoul City has been running the 'Handwriting Relay - #AnotherYuGwansun' on its main SNS channels since the 25th. Participants can upload photos or videos of their handwritten cry of Yu Gwan-sun on their personal SNS accounts and tag the posts with hashtags ‘#AnotherYuGwansun’ and ‘#103rdAnniversaryMarch1st’. Through the mention function (@+ID), participants can also nominate friends to continue the campaign.

There is also a '"I am a proud citizen of Daehan _____!" certification event linked to the Seoul Dream Engraving Board. Participation is possible by inserting one’s own name or ID into the blank space in the Seoul Dream Engraving Board image and sharing it on Instagram. Detailed information will be provided on Seoul City’s Instagram account. Citizens who cannot take a photo of the Dream Engraving Board directly can participate by capturing the image posted on Seoul City’s SNS or download the image from the city’s comprehensive monthly magazine website, ‘Seoul Sarang’.

Choi Won-seok, Seoul City’s Citizen Communication Planning Officer, said, “The March 1st Movement is not just an event that happened in the past but a precious history that must always be remembered and preserved.” He added, “Beyond the everyday phrase ‘Daehan Independence Manse’ associated with March 1st, we hope this unique attempt to join Yu Gwan-sun’s words will encourage more people to participate and voluntarily spread the spirit.”
