Singer Jinu Xeon's Xeon commemorated Liberation Day.

On the 14th and 15th, Xeon posted on his social media: "The 2026 815 Run is finally tomorrow! Let's run together to mark the 81st anniversary of Liberation Day! Please offer your support and verification." He shared photos alongside the message.

The photos showed Xeon participating in a commemorative run on the 15th for Liberation Day. He also revealed images with Yoon Do-hyun, stating: "The 2026 815 Run OFFLINE singer Yoon Do-hyun's performance is confirmed. Thank you, Mr. Do-hyun! All 815 runners are ready to run!"

Xeon said, "It will go well, Republic of Korea! I begin the 7th 81.5km thank-you letter," and observed a moment of silence while preparing for the run. He wore athletic clothing with the Taegeuk mark on his chest.

Earlier, Xeon announced the journey: "From August 8th at the 815th Run IN Cheonan Independence Hall to August 15th's 81.5km."

He added, "I believe God will accept even a worship service offered while limping. I will offer a full-hearted 81.5km thank-you worship service. Even as I run unevenly and write this 81.5km thank-you letter, I believe the independence fighters will be pleased. I will take each step carefully, pressing down firmly. To all who worried and prayed for me due to my injuries, and to many who hope for cool weather on Liberation Day after I complete the 81.5km run—thank you."

He continued, "For the past six years, whether in heavy rain or scorching heat, whether injured or with lost toenails, I have run with a grateful heart because what we have received and enjoy is far greater." He also stated, "At 5 p.m., I will run 8.15km with the 815th runners at the Plaza of Peace, smiling brightly."

Meanwhile, today marks the 81st anniversary of Liberation Day. It commemorates Korea's liberation from Japan in 1945 and celebrates the establishment of the Republic of Korea government, which succeeded the legal lineage of the Provisional Government.

The 815 Run is a charity running event organized by Korean Habitat to commemorate Liberation Day and support housing improvements for descendants of independence activists. It operates through OFFLINE runs and virtual runs. The 2026 event is expected to involve 7,000 participants in the OFFLINE run and 12,450 in the virtual run. The OFFLINE run will take place on August 15 at 5 p.m. at Seoul Sangam World Cup Park.
