Song Hye-kyo Donates 10,000 Bilingual Guides to Preserve Korean Independence Sites in Mexico



On the 80th anniversary of Liberation, Sungshin Women's University Professor Seo Kyung-duk and actress Song Hye-kyo joined forces to donate 10,000 copies of a guidebook to inform Korean Mexican people's history of the independence movement at home and abroad.

This guide was produced in Korean and Spanish, donated to the Korean Cultural Center in Mexico, and has been distributed since the 15th.

The main contents of the guide include the Mexican City Hall of the Korean People's Association, the residence of independence activists Kim Ik-ju and Hwang Bo-young-ju, Dolores Cemetery, and Guadalajara Ahn Chang-ho's accommodation in detail.




Professor Seo said "The preservation situation of the remains of the Korean independence movement overseas is not very good."

In particular, "But the continued interest and visitation of our people will be the greatest force to preserve the remaining Korean historical sites abroad."

If it is difficult to visit the site, download the original file from the website 'Our History Story We Met Abroad' and use it.




In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of liberation, this is the second project since the donation of the historical guide 'Saipan and Tian' in June, and the third project is scheduled to be carried out in November.

Meanwhile, over the past 14 years, under the sponsorship of Seo Gyeong-deok and Song Hye-gyo, Korean guidebooks, Korean signboards, and independence activist assistance works have been donated to 39 Korean historical sites remaining overseas.
