In response to reports that descendants of independence activists are returning their honorary graduation certificates from the Korea Military Academy, Jo O-seop, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed his outrage, asking, "Which country's government is the Yoon Seok-yeol administration?"

On the 15th, Jo said on his social media, "I cannot understand how power can deny even the history of the independence movement."

Earlier, reports emerged that descendants of prominent figures such as Yoon Gi-seop, chairman of the Provisional Assembly of the Republic of Korea, General Ji Cheong-cheon, commander-in-chief of the Korean Liberation Army, and Lee Sang-ryong, the first State Councilor of the Provisional Government, returned their honorary graduation certificates from the Korea Military Academy.

Jo stated, "'The spirit of independence of the independence and liberation army soldiers who devoted themselves to the independence of the homeland on the snowstorm-ravaged Manchurian plains became the spiritual root of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces,' a statement made by the Korea Military Academy in 2018 when it awarded honorary graduation certificates to four surviving patriots and thirteen descendants of independence activists," adding, "If the Yoon Seok-yeol administration serves and is loyal to Japan's interests, which the independence activists fought against with their lives, then what else can it be but 21st-century pro-Japanese collaborators?"
