Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) received a donation of the statue of Ahn Jung-geun from Sinnai-dong Catholic Church.

The district relocated the donated statue to Mangwoo History and Culture Park and held an unveiling ceremony on the 2nd.

The statue of Ahn Jung-geun was created in 2014 by Sinnai-dong Catholic Church to commemorate the 104th anniversary of his martyrdom. Jungnang-gu and Sinnai-dong Catholic Church moved the statue to Mangwoo History and Culture Park to honor Ahn Jung-geun alongside numerous independence activists such as Yu Gwan-sun and Han Yong-un, who rest there.

The unveiling ceremony took place on the 2nd at the Jungnang Mangwoo Space in Mangwoo History and Culture Park, attended by Jungnang-gu Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi, Sinnai-dong Catholic Church’s chief priest Lee Chan-il, and parishioners. The statue will now welcome visitors at Mangwoo History and Culture Park and play a role in spreading the legacy of Ahn Jung-geun more widely.

Jungnang-gu Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi said, “I thank Chief Priest Lee Chan-il and the parishioners of Sinnai-dong Catholic Church for donating the statue of Ahn Jung-geun, and I will cherish and develop Mangwoo History and Culture Park further in honor of Ahn Jung-geun’s spirit.”
