This "Independence Memorial Road" is a program designed to allow participants to directly see and experience the footsteps of independence activists and to reflect on the historical significance of their actions. It was held for the second time, following the Modernization Alley Tour in June.

Participants paid tribute at the National Sinam Patriotic Martyrs’ Park, toured the Joyang Hall (a memorial facility under the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs), and visited the special exhibition commemorating the 80th anniversary of liberation at the Daegu Kansong Art Museum, taking meaningful time to remember the sacrifices and spirit of independence of their forebears.

Additionally, iM Bank plans to use part of the sponsorship funds from this event to deliver "Liberation 80 Gratitude Sets" to 50 descendants of independence patriots from vulnerable groups on Martyrs’ Day, which falls on November 17, 2025.

Kim Jongsul, Director of the Daegu Regional Veterans Affairs Office, stated, "In this year marking the 80th anniversary of liberation, I am deeply grateful to iM Bank for joining us on this meaningful journey that allows descendants to feel pride and reflect on the spirit of independence," adding, "We will do our utmost to improve the welfare and recognition of independence patriots, their bereaved families, and all veterans’ families."
