Lee Su-ji, you're working again...Professor Seo Kyung-duk and the plant sovereignty campaign video are in sync



Celebrating the 80th anniversary of liberation, broadcaster Lee Soo-ji joined forces with Sungshin Women's University Professor Seo Kyung-duk to release a multilingual video at home and abroad announcing the importance of 'plant sovereignty'.

The five-minute video was co-produced with the Korea Forest Service's National Arboretum (Director Lim Young-seok), and was released in Korean and English and is widely spread to domestic and foreign netizens.

The main content of the video introduces the fact that special plants on the Korean Peninsula are valuable assets worldwide, but even their names are taken away by Japanese scholars, including Nakai Japanese colonial era.




In addition, after liberation, our plants are recorded as samples, and the plants on the Korean Peninsula are not only ecological values, but also historical evidence of our people's memories and future competitiveness.

Professor Seo, who planned the event, said, `I wanted to spread the importance of 'plant sovereignty' to domestic and foreign Internet users through the history of plants that have erased and recovered the traces of the Japanese imperialism.'

In particular, he is spreading not only on YouTube but also on various social media, and has been sharing videos and spreading them steadily to major Korean and international student communities around the world," he added.




Lee Soo-ji, narrated in Korean, said, `We are happy to introduce the history of our plants to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Liberation, and we hope that many domestic and foreign Internet users will watch it.'

Meanwhile, the National Arboretum and Professor Seo Kyung-duk will produce various contents about our plants and introduce them widely at home and abroad.
