Installation of Manhae Han Yongun Bust at Mangwoo History and Culture Park, Jungnang-gu

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) installed a bust at the Mangwoo History and Culture Park Han Yong-un gravesite and held an unveiling ceremony on the 7th.

Han Yong-un was an independence activist who led resistance literature by publishing the poetry collection "The Silence of My Beloved" during the Japanese colonial period. He was one of the 33 national representatives of the March 1st Movement and wished for Korea's independence throughout his life. He passed away one year before liberation and was buried at Mangwoo History and Culture Park.

The district created the bust to honor Manhae Han Yong-un's patriotic spirit and achievements, and to widely convey his love for the nation, humanity, and religion to future generations.

The bust unveiling ceremony was attended by Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi, Han Yong-un’s grandson Jeong Jae-hong, retired monk from the Saam Federation Beopjangsa Temple, and Jeon Bo-sam, director of the Manhae Memorial Hall, among others.

Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi said, “On the 80th anniversary of Manhae Han Yong-un’s passing, I sincerely thank the Saam Federation officials who generously supported the creation of the bust and poetry monument, as well as the bereaved family members. I hope many people visit Mangwoo History and Culture Park, where modern Korean history breathes, and take a moment to reflect on the lives of those who lived fiercely for our nation.”
