Ahead of anniv. of popular uprising against Japanese rule

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik watches a calligrapher write with a brush in Chinese characters "Daehan Doklip Manse," meaning "Hurrah for the Independence of Korea," at the National Assembly in Seoul on Feb. 28, 2025, ahead of a luncheon meeting, hosted by Woo, with descendants of national independence fighters. The meeting came one day before the country marks the 106th anniversary of the 1919 popular movement that protested for independence from Japan's colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula. (Yonhap)
