    a date designated as a historical site
    It is a historic park located in Jongno, Seoul. It was renamed Tapgol Park from Pagoda Park in 1991 and is designated as Historic Site No. 354.

    The reason Tapgol Park is important in Korea's modern and contemporary history is because it is the birthplace of the March 1 Independence Movement, which first read the Declaration of Independence during the March 1 Independence Movement in 1919.

    On March 1, 1919, people gathered here to listen to the Declaration of Independence and started the March 1 Independence Movement. Therefore, Japanese colonial era Pagoda Park was also a popular place for people to soothe their country's lost sorrow.

    Currently, there are cultural assets such as the 10-story stone pagoda of Wongaksa Temple Site, the second national treasure, and the third treasure, Wongaksa Monument, the March 1 Independence Movement Memorial Tower, the March 1 Movement Wall Painting, the statue of Uiam Son Byung-hee, and the monument of Han Yong-un.
  • 2000.10.25
    designated date
    Dokdo Day was established by a private organization, the Dokdo Guard, to commemorate the establishment of Dokdo as a subsidiary of Ulleungdo Island on October 25, 1900 by Imperial Gojong in 2000.

    Japanese textbooks claim that Dokdo is Japan's land, but Dokdo is truly Korean land, and Japan aims at Dokdo's resources and various benefits and makes a one-sided argument that is not true at all.

    The fact that Dokdo is Korean territory can be found in a number of key documents related to Dokdo's sovereignty, such as Scarpin No. 677, and Dokdo can be seen from Ulleungdo, but Dokdo cannot be seen from any Japanese island. .

    In addition to this, there is a lot of evidence that Dokdo is Korean territory. Japanese people are not aware of this because the Japanese government has educated students with textbooks containing false information about Dokdo.
