The four-and-a-half-minute video was planned by Professor Seo and sponsored by Song Hye-kyo, and is widely spread to domestic and foreign netizens by applying Korean and English narrations respectively.



The main content of the video introduces the fact that Kim Maria wore a kimono and hid the 「2.8 Declaration of Independence」 and distributed it to various parts of the country on behalf of a man closely monitored by the Japanese government.

In particular, various independence movements were re-examined by organizing the Patriotic Women's Association of the Republic of Korea, a secret association for women, setting up branches at home and abroad, collecting military funds and delivering them to the provisional government.



Professor Seo, who organized the video, made the third video following Jeong Jung-hwa and Yoon Hee-soon to shed new light on the lives of female independence activists, who are not well known to the public, and to introduce them widely at home and abroad," he said.

In addition, he added, `We plan to produce a series of multilingual videos about more female independence activists in the future and continue to promote them at home and abroad.'



Currently, it is spreading not only on YouTube but also on various SNSs, especially to major Korean and international student communities around the world.
