South Korean Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Yu In-chon places a bouquet in front of a statue of Ahn Jung-geun at Ahn's Memorial in Harbin, northeastern China, on Feb. 6, 2025, ahead of the opening of the Feb. 7-14 Asian Winter Games, in this photo released by the South Korean ministry. Ahn, an independence fighter under the Japanese colonial rule of Korea, was executed at a prison in China by Japanese authorities after being arrested in 1909 for assassinating Ito Hirobumi, the Japanese resident-general in Korea, at a railway station in Harbin, the capital of China's Heilongjiang Province.
