On March 1st, actor Park HwanHee shared an emotional message through her social media to commemorate March 1st Movement Day. Posted on her Instagram story, the message highlights Park HwanHee’s deep patriotism and the historical moment that we all must remember. Park HwanHee reflected, “On March 1, 1919, people of all ages, regardless of gender, came out to the streets shouting for Korean independence. That is why we can wake up peacefully today.”
In the following message, she recommended the movie ‘Resistance: The Story of Yu Gwan-Sun’, further deepening the meaning of the day. Park HwanHee’s actions go beyond simply listing historical facts, providing enlightenment to all of us living in the present.
Especially as the great-granddaughter of the independence activist Ha Jongjin, her family history has a deep connection to the independence of South Korea. Ha Jongjin was imprisoned in Seodaemun Prison after distributing the Korean flag in Hamyang, South Gyeongsang Province, and attempting to bomb major government offices in Daegu during the independence marches. This background helps us to understand how Park HwanHee commemorates this day and the meaning she wanted to convey.
Park HwanHee’s message not only remembers the past but also reflects on how we can create a better future. Her story makes us all think once more about the importance of history and its impact on our lives.
We hope that more people like Park HwanHee will continue to spread the history and meaning of our country, so that more people remember and live by it. Our past will light the way to our future.
