To commemorate the upcoming Day of Patriotic Martyrs, actress Song HyeKyo and professor Seo KyungDeok from Sungshin Women’s University have collaborated to produce a video highlighting the achievements of the historical figure, Kim Maria. This video, which captures the revolutionary life of Kim Maria, is available in both Korean and English and has been released worldwide.
The 4-minute 30-second video was planned by Professor Seo KyungDeok and sponsored by Song HyeKyo. The main content revolves around the incident where Kim Maria, disguised in a kimono to evade Japanese surveillance, smuggled the ‘2.8 Declaration of Independence’ into Korea and distributed it nationwide. The video also revisits the activities of the women’s secret society she organized, the “Korean Patriotic Women’s Association,” and various independence movements that provided military funds to the Provisional Government.
Professor Seo expressed his intention to shed light on the lives of lesser-known female independence activists through this video. He noted that this is the third video following those on Jeong JeongHwa and Yoon HeeSoon, and he plans to continue producing multilingual videos about more female independence activists in the future.
Over the past 13 years, Seo KyungDeok and Song HyeKyo have donated Korean guidebooks, signboards, and relief works of independence activists to 37 historical sites of Korean independence movements overseas. These efforts have significantly contributed to raising awareness about Korea’s history and the importance of its independence movement both domestically and internationally. Their continued endeavors are highly anticipated.
