The inauguration ceremony is expected to be attended by members of the Liberation Association and Lee Jeong-seon, Superintendent of Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education.

Go is the eldest son of Go In-seok, a patriot who participated in the Gwangju Student Independence Movement, and a descendant of Go Gyeong-myeong, a righteous army leader during the Imjin War. After the late Joseon period’s “Assassination of Empress Myeongseong” incident, many, including his father and Go Gwang-soon, Go Gwang-chae, Go Je-ryang, Go Gwang-hoon, and Go Gwang-su, devoted themselves to the righteous army movement.

He managed companies such as Shinhan Construction Co., Ltd. and Pungjeon Industry Co., Ltd., and currently runs Leaders Solar Power Co., Ltd., which operates in the renewable energy business. He is also actively involved in social activities, serving as a member of the International Rotary Club, president of the Jeonnam Equestrian Association, and director of the Nokcheon Go Gwang-soon Righteous Army Leader Memorial Project Association.

Go said, “I will do my best to promote harmony among Liberation Association members and improve member welfare, and especially strive to secure a new branch space to provide a resting place for members.”

Meanwhile, the Liberation Association is a public legal entity composed of independence patriots and their families. The Gwangju Metropolitan City branch also conducts events such as the March 1st Movement Commemoration Ceremony, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea Establishment Commemoration Ceremony, Liberation Day Commemoration Ceremony, Gyeongsul National Humiliation Commemoration Ceremony, Late Joseon Honam Righteous Army Memorial Service, Patriots and Martyrs Day Commemoration Ceremony, overseas anti-Japanese independence movement historic site tours (participated by Liberation Association members, students, and citizens), domestic anti-Japanese independence movement historic site tours, and history lectures for citizens and students.
