Actress Song Hye-kyo and Professor Seo Kyung-deok Seong Sin-yeo-dae (Prof.) released a multilingual video titled "Nurse Who Led the March 1st Movement, Park Ja-hye" to mark the 81st anniversary of Liberation Day.

The four-minute video was planned by Professor Seo and sponsored by Song Hye-kyo, featuring Korean and English narration, and is being widely shared with netizens both domestically and abroad.

The video's main content introduces how Park Ja-hye, while working as a nurse at the Jo Seon (총독) branch hospital in 1919, treated injured participants of the March 1st Movement, realized the nation's reality, and helped establish "Ganwoo Hwe," an independence movement organization for nurses.

It particularly highlights her continued path in the independence movement after fleeing to China, marrying Shin Chae-ho, and assisting Na Seok-ju upon returning to Korea.

Professor Seo stated, "We aimed to re-examine and widely introduce the lives of female independence activists who are not well known to the public. Following Jung Jeong-hwa, Yoon Hee-soon, Kim Ma-ri-a, Park Cha-jeong, Kim Hyang-hwa, and Nam Ja-hyun, this is our seventh video."

He added, "We plan to continue producing multilingual videos in a series about more female independence activists and steadily introduce them both domestically and internationally."

Over the past 15 years, Professor Seo and Song Hye-kyo have donated Korean-language guidebooks, Hangul signs, and sculptural works of independence activists to 40 sites related to Korea's independence movement located around the world.
