Flag with Baekbeom's Quotes Raised in Hyochang Park

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seong Jang-hyun) will hold a flag exhibition featuring the famous quotes of independence heroes on Itaewon-ro and the inner and outer roads of Hyochang Park from April 11 to 22, in celebration of the proclamation week of ‘Yongsan, the City of Patriotic Martyrs.’

This is part of the ‘Historical and Cultural City Yongsan’ project, which reflects on the spirit of independence activists who demonstrated anti-Japanese resistance in Yongsan, a place that holds historical pain as a base of Japanese colonial invasion.

Along the 1km section of Itaewon-ro from Samgakji Station to Noksapyeong Station, 20 banners will be installed, and 90 banners will be set up on the inner and outer roads of Hyochang Park, where visitors can see the famous quotes of independence heroes such as Baekbeom Kim Gu, An Jung-geun, and Yu Gwan-sun.

Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “As we welcome the warm spring, I invite you to walk along the road with the words embodying the spirit of independence activists like Baekbeom Kim Gu and the seven martyrs,” adding, “It will be a meaningful time to reflect on the noble spirit of the patriotic martyrs that must never be forgotten.”

The district plans to hold a series of events starting with the Uiyeolsa Memorial Ceremony on the 11th, including plays, exhibitions, and oratory contests that reexamine Yongsan’s heroes such as the seven martyrs of Hyochangwon, Yu Gwan-sun, and Kim Sang-ok.
