As Liberation Day approaches, a wave of Taegeukgi flags filled the streets of Jangheung.
On the morning of August 13, Jangheung County reported that over 200 local residents, social welfare organizations, and children participated in a 'Liberation Day Taegeukgi Campaign' in the Jangheung-eup area.
The campaign aimed to reflect on the meaning of liberation and honor the noble intentions of those who dedicated their lives for the country, while also encouraging residents to voluntarily display the national flag ahead of Liberation Day.
Among the participants were Yang Dong-cheol, head of the Jangheung branch of the Korean Liberation Association, staff from the Jangheung Comprehensive Social Welfare Center led by Director Yang Eun-hee, children from the Saetbyeol Child Center, county officials, and local residents.
Participants gathered at the Jangheung Bridge rotary, waving Taegeukgi flags as they marched to the main entrance of the county office. The procession along the city streets served as an opportunity to share the historical significance of liberation and the value of love for the country with the community.
Upon reaching the county office, participants shouted slogans in celebration of liberation and concluded the event with a group photo.
This event was supported by a budget of 2 million won as part of the '2026 National Defense Spirit Promotion Project' selection.
Sa Soon-moon, the mayor of Jangheung County, expressed hope that the campaign would serve as a reminder of the significance of liberation and the importance of the Taegeukgi. He encouraged residents to actively participate in raising the national flag on Liberation Day and to honor the noble intentions of those who dedicated themselves to the nation.
