South Korea 81st Liberation Day commemorations
Overview
South Korea marked its 81st Liberation Day through national honors and public commemorations. The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs announced that 283 individuals would be recognized as independence activists, specifically aiming to honor previously undervalued figures such as women, laborers, and cultural figures.
Notable honorees included Choi Jun-rye, wife of independence leader Kim Gu, and actor Kim Deok-rin. The awards included the Order of Merit for National Foundation, the National Foundation Medal, and Presidential Commendations.
In Seoul, the anniversary was observed with a traditional bell-ringing ceremony at the Bosingak Pavilion under the theme ‘The Sound of Liberation Awakens the Future.’ The event included the ringing of the Bosingak bell 33 times, musical performances, and public heritage tours. Participants also engaged in traditional ‘Manse’ cheers and civic choir performances.
