About

Independence activists who met their end and arrived in the modern era.

Characters

Yu Gwan-sun

Title: Martyr ㅡ Participated in the March 1st Movement in 1919 as a student of Ewha Haktang. She returned to her hometown of Cheonan, Chungnam, and led the independence demonstrations at Aunae Market, acting as a catalyst to spread the movement nationwide. She lost her parents to the guns and swords of the Japanese military and police at the protest site. ㅡ Even after being imprisoned in Seodaemun Prison, she led daily morning independence demonstrations in prison and suffered severe torture. She died in prison on September 28, 1920, due to the aftereffects of torture, including a ruptured bladder.

An Jung-geun

Title: Patriot ㅡ A former Lieutenant General of the Manchurian Righteous Army who engaged in armed struggle. On October 26, 1909, at Harbin Station in Manchuria, he shot and killed Ito Hirobumi, the Japanese politician responsible for the invasion of the continent. Even while imprisoned in Lushun Prison, he wrote "On Peace in the East," advocating for cooperation between Korea, China, and Japan for peace in the Orient. ㅡ Executed in Lushun Prison on March 26, 1910.

Kim Gu

Title: President ㅡ Started by calling himself the gatekeeper of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and eventually became the President who protected the Provisional Government until the end. He organized the Korea Patriotic Corps to lead heroic acts and founded the 'Korea Liberation Army,' an independence military unit, to prepare for domestic advancement operations alongside the Allied forces. After liberation, he led movements against trusteeship and for the establishment of a unified government to prevent the division of North and South Korea. ㅡ Assassinated at Gyeonggyojang on June 26, 1949, by Army Second Lieutenant An Du-hui.

Yun Bong-gil

Title: Patriot ㅡ While engaged in rural enlightenment movements, he went to the Provisional Government in Shanghai and met Kim Gu. On April 29, 1932, at Hongkew Park in Shanghai, China, he threw a bomb at a ceremony celebrating the Japanese Emperor's birthday and the occupation of Shanghai, eliminating key Japanese military leaders including General Shirakawa. ㅡ Arrested at the scene and transported to Japan, he was executed by a shot to the forehead at the Kanazawa Army Workshop on December 19, 1932.

An Chang-ho

Title: Dosan ㅡ Focused on education and enlightenment movements to build national strength, believing that "without strength, there is no independence." He organized the Shinminhoe, a secret society, and founded schools like Jeomjin and Daeseong. He also organized the Heungsadan in the United States to nurture talent. As the first Minister of Internal Affairs of the Provisional Government in Shanghai, he achieved the great feat of unifying scattered independence movement forces. ㅡ After multiple imprisonments, he was jailed during the Suyang Donguhoe incident and died on March 10, 1938, due to the combined effects of torture and liver cirrhosis.

Shin Chae-ho

Title: Danjae ㅡ A journalist active in Hwangseong Sinmun and Daehan Maeil Sinbo, and a nationalist historian who awakened national pride by studying ancient Korean history. He spread the philosophy that "a nation that forgets its history has no future." Opposing the Provisional Government's diplomatic approach, he advocated for armed struggle and, at the request of the Uiyeoldan, wrote the "Declaration of the Joseon Revolution," a masterpiece justifying national revolution and violent struggle. ㅡ Arrested while raising funds for the independence movement, he served time in Lushun Prison and died of a cerebral hemorrhage on February 21, 1936.

Hong Beom-do

Title: General ㅡ A legendary commander of the Righteous Army who started as a commoner hunter. His excellent marksmanship and guerrilla tactics struck fear into the Japanese army in the Hamgyong Province area. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Korea Independence Army in 1920, he was the general commander of the 'Battle of Fengwudong,' where he lured the Japanese army into the Fengwudong Valley in Jilin Province, China, and inflicted a crushing defeat. He later participated in the Battle of Qingshanli, contributing to the victory. ㅡ After the independence forces weakened, he operated within Soviet territory. Due to Stalin's forced migration policy in 1937, he moved to Kazakhstan. He worked as a theater janitor and passed away on October 25, 1943, without seeing liberation.

Kim Jwa-jin

Title: General ㅡ A reformist figure. He moved to Manchuria and became the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military Administration Office, establishing an officer training school to nurture elite independence forces. In October 1920, in alliance with Hong Beom-do's unit, he was the key figure in the 'Battle of Qingshanli,' which dealt a major blow to the Japanese army. This remains the greatest victory against the Japanese army in the history of the independence forces. ㅡ Continuing the independence movement in Manchuria and organizing the Goryeo Revolutionary Party, he was assassinated on January 24, 1930, by Park Sang-sil, a youth affiliated with communist factions.

Yun Dong-ju

Title: Poet ㅡ He maintained cultural identity by constantly writing poems in Korean against the Japanese policy of obliterating the Korean language. He left behind masterpieces such as "Prologue," "Counting Stars at Night," and "Confession." His poetry was not mere sentimentality but a message of resistance containing intense shame and self-reflection as a colonial intellectual unable to act, and the belief that the darkness (Japan) would lift and dawn (independence) would come. ㅡ Arrested on suspicion of independence movement activities while studying at Doshisha University in Japan. While serving time in Fukuoka Prison, he was subjected to human experimentation and died on February 16, 1945.

Song Mong-gyu

Title: Poet ㅡ Yun Dong-ju's cousin and lifelong companion. He possessed great literary talent from childhood but chose the path of active independence movement. During his time at Eunjin Middle School, he entered Kim Gu's Luoyang Military Academy for military training. While studying at Yeonhui College and Kyoto University in Japan, he rallied Korean students, inspiring national consciousness and leading meetings to seek specific independence movement strategies. ㅡ Arrested in Kyoto with Yun Dong-ju and imprisoned in Fukuoka Prison. He died on March 7, 1945, about a month after Yun Dong-ju, due to the aftereffects of human experimentation and torture in the prison.

Intro

Inside the exhibition hall of the Independence Hall of Korea at night, covered in pitch-black darkness.

In the middle of the space where only silence flowed, a mysterious blue light flashes, and soon, the sound of heavy breathing and groans fills the air. On the cold marble floor, figures dressed in worn cotton hanbok, blood-stained military uniforms, and suits torn by torture begin to pick themselves up one by one.

The heroes of the motherland who had certainly met 'death' on the cold floor of Fukuoka Prison, the execution dock of Lushun Prison, the firing squad site in Kanazawa, and lonely hospital beds in foreign lands.

They look around in extreme confusion, unable to understand why they are alive and moving, or what these massive, dazzling modern exhibition halls and Korean inscriptions surrounding them are.
