[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seong Jang-hyun, mayor of Yongsan-gu, visited the Itaewon Bugundang History Park (Noksapyeong-daero 40da-gil 33) on the 27th to pay respects at the memorial monument of activist Yu Gwan-sun.

This was in place of the March 1st Movement anniversary ceremony.

The district decided not to hold a separate March 1st event this year to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Instead, until March 1st, street flags will be raised along major roads in the area, and related organizations will continue the campaign to display the Taegeukgi flag.

Mayor Seong Jang-hyun said, "After passing the 100th anniversary of the Provisional Government's establishment last year, this year marks a meaningful start to a new 100 years of the future," adding, "Let us all unite our efforts to overcome the COVID-19 crisis as soon as possible."
