Korea Railroad Hosts Exhibition of 'Lee Bong-chang' at Seoul Station

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) announced on the 17th that it will hold an exhibition titled "The Story of Station Attendant Lee Bong-chang's Independence Movement" in collaboration with the Independence Hall of Korea at Seoul Station.

The exhibition traces the life of independence activist and station attendant Lee Bong-chang, who threw a bomb at the Japanese Emperor in Tokyo in 1932, and will be held until the 30th of this month.

The exhibited works include 14 independence movement-related materials such as Lee Bong-chang's "Sangsinseo" and a photo of his joining the Korean Patriotic Organization, along with 30 photographs.

KORAIL and the Independence Hall of Korea divide Lee Bong-chang's life into four parts for the exhibition.

The first part introduces the period from 1919 to 1924 when Lee Bong-chang worked as a transportation station attendant at Yongsan Station.

Following the exhibition at Seoul Station, KORAIL and the Independence Hall of Korea plan to hold the Lee Bong-chang exhibition on a nationwide tour at major stations such as Cheonan-Asan Station.

KORAIL's Director of Culture and Public Relations, Kwon Young-joo, said, "It is meaningful to hold an exhibition that captures the life trajectory of Lee Bong-chang, an independence activist and railroad worker," and added, "We hope many visitors take the opportunity to reflect on Lee Bong-chang's life as both a station attendant and an independence activist."
