Actor Kim Nam Gil celebrated the Independence Movement Day by reading Baekbeom Kim Gu’s quotation “My Wish”.
On March 1st, through his Instagram, Kim Nam Gil posted an audio file in which he directly read and recorded Baekbeom Kim Gu’s quotation “My Wish”.
In the audio file with calm music, he started by saying, “The quotation ‘My Wish’ always awakens our spirit.”
He aroused touching feelings by reading, “I want our nation to be the most beautiful in the world. By this, I do not mean the most powerful nation. Because I have felt the pain of being invaded by another nation, I do not want my nation to invade others. It is sufficient that our wealth makes our lives abundant; it is sufficient that our strength is able to prevent foreign invasions. The only thing that I desire in infinite quantity is the power of a noble culture. This is because the power of culture both makes ourselves happy and gives happiness to others.”
In response, netizens commented, “This short but seemingly long article makes me think a lot”, “I’m crying”, “What a touching narration”, “I will not forget it”, “So cool. I’m feeling so proud”, “I’m feeling full of patriotic spirit”, etc.
Meanwhile, many celebrities have also shown their remembrance of the March 1st Independence Movement Day in their own ways.
Former Secret member Jeon Hyo Sung took a picture of the Korean flag on the street and posted it on her Instagram with the message, “Korean flags hanging side by side on the street. It’s quite cloudy today, but since it’s Independence Movement Day, one side of my heart is heated by the image of Korean flags flying in the wind. Like I’ve done every year, I will spend the rest of today appreciating and remembering this special day.”
Actor Jung Eun Pyo also captured the Korean flag he hung and the message from his son telling him to hang the Korean flag. He added the caption, “I’ve learned another thing from my young child. I will pray for the patriotic martyrs and promise not to forget them”.
