🇰🇷 Gwangbokjeol — Korea’s Day of Restoring the Light 🌅 Every August 15th, the nation remembers 1945, when Korea regained its freedom after 35 years of Japanese colonial rule. The Taegeukgi waves proudly, ceremonies fill Seoul’s squares, and the sound of bells at Bosingak honors those who fought for independence. From the Independence Hall to the Sejong Center, it’s a day of reflection, pride, and unity — a reminder that freedom was hard-won and must always be protected. #Gwangbokjeol #KoreaLiberationDay #광복절 #KoreanHistory #IndependenceDayKorea #VisitSeoul #HistoryOfKorea #koreanculture
