The Yoon Seok-yeol administration recently purchased the LA Heungsadan, the independence movement headquarters of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, which was at risk of demolition by a Chinese development company. Although the headquarters building was threatened with demolition due to neglect by the previous administration, it was saved through the efforts of the Korean-American community.

Representative Bae expressed, "I am very grateful that our precious independence movement heritage has been preserved through the active efforts of the new government," and urged people to show great interest in this forum.
