      He’s one of the most respected figures in Korean history. However, many other Koreans that are unknown to the records have also participated for independence. We should respect them. This is one of the reasons as to why us Koreans care about democracy so much 🙂

      Oh hey my best friend told me about this guy! He teaches me a lot about the freedom fighting of Korea. It even inspired me to make a book about it. But much darker tbh. I hope I can’t make it one day
