Busan Regional Office of Patriots and Veterans Affairs Receives "Sentence of the Month" Certification Plaque at "PR Day"

80th Anniversary of Liberation
"We Live in the Wind of 80 Years Ago, Within the Wishes of Those Before Us"

The Busan Regional Office of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (Director: Lee Namil) recently received the certification plaque for the "Sentence of the Month for August 2025," selected by the Korea PR Association, at the "2025 PR Day" event held at the Sofitel Ambassador Seoul.

The Korea PR Awards, hosted by the Korea PR Association and held on the 21st, marked its 33rd anniversary this year and has established itself as the nation’s leading PR award. The ceremony aims to broaden the base of the PR industry and improve the quality of public and private sector PR activities by recognizing outstanding cases across various fields.

This month's certified sentence is the message from the promotional video commemorating the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation, jointly produced by the "Mongttang" team from Dongseo University’s Department of Advertising and Public Relations and the Busan Regional Office of Patriots and Veterans Affairs. The message reads, "We live in the wind (風) of 80 years ago, within the wishes (願) of those before us." This sentence was selected for certification as a social message that resonated with and moved the public.

Following this award, the Busan Regional Office of Patriots and Veterans Affairs has continued its collaboration with Dongseo University’s Department of Advertising and Public Relations to deliver messages of remembrance that Millennials & Gen Z and the broader public can relate to. The office has been jointly conducting various projects, such as the "Turn Toward Busan" promotional video "The Reason for Bowing One’s Head," in an effort to combine fresh perspectives with the values of national remembrance.

A representative from the Busan Regional Office of Patriots and Veterans Affairs stated, "It is deeply meaningful that the sentence capturing the significance of the 80th anniversary of liberation has received nationwide acclaim and led to this certification plaque." The representative added, "We are sincerely grateful to the students who crafted such an authentic message and to the Korea PR Association for recognizing this achievement." They continued, "We will continue to pursue diverse collaborations and creative communication to spread a culture of remembrance that all generations can remember and empathize with together."
