Honoring the Meaning of Patriotic Martyrs... Jang-an-eup, Gijang-gun Reenacts the Manse Movement at Jwacheon Market

The historic moment of the Manse Movement is reenacted at Jang-an-eup Jwacheon Traditional Market.

Busan Gijang-gun will hold the ‘104th Anniversary 4·9 Jwacheon Market Manse Movement Reenactment Event’ at the Jwacheon Traditional Market public parking lot in Jang-an-eup on the 9th, hosted by the Jang-an-eup Residents’ Autonomy Committee, to commemorate the Jwacheon Market Manse Movement anniversary.

The ‘Jwacheon Market Manse Movement Reenactment Event’ reenacts the Manse Movement that took place on April 9, the market day of Jwacheon in Jang-an-eup, following the March 1st Movement on March 1, 1919, honoring the spirit of the patriotic martyrs.

3.1 Manse Movement Monument built in the public parking lot of Jwacheon Traditional Market, Jangan-eup.

This event began with the hope that the March 1st Manse Movement monument, erected in 2017 at the Jwacheon Traditional Market public parking lot, would be designated as a memorial facility. Even after the monument was designated as a memorial facility in December 2018, the event has continued as a major village event.

On the day of the event, pre-ceremony activities such as a song performance titled ‘Those Days’ will start at 10 a.m., followed by the main ceremony at 10:30 a.m.

The event will include ▲singing of the March 1st Movement songs ▲screening of a video about the independence movement history of Jang-an ▲a performance by the theater troupe ‘Jjillekkot’ (Wild Rose), and then a procession around the Jwacheon market village area to reenact the Manse Movement of April 9, 1919.

Park Kyung-hee, mayor of Jang-an-eup, said, “I hope that holding the Manse Movement reenactment event will honor the will of the patriotic martyrs and serve as an opportunity to raise the pride of the residents of Jang-an-eup.”
