After two years of bringing the excitement and emotion of Korean history to children everywhere, the beloved series 'Sul Min-seok's Great Adventure in Korean History' returns in 2019 with a special focus on the independence movement. 2019 holds deep historical significance for Korea. It marks the 100th anniversary of the March 1st Movement, led in part by young students, as well as the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea—an outcome inspired by the spirit of that very movement. That's why 'Sul Min-seok's Great Adventure in Korean History 9' follows Teacher Sul and friends as they trace the footsteps of Korea's independence movement. The March 1st Movement was a peaceful demonstration that showed Japan the Korean people's unwavering hope and determination for independence. People of all ages and backgrounds came together, protesting Japan's harsh military rule and shouting for freedom with all their hearts. This historic event went on to inspire independence movements in other Asian nations facing similar struggles. The March 1st Movement also made clear the need for an official government. Though it had to be established on foreign soil, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was the result of a determined effort to declare Korea's identity as an independent nation to the world and to unite the scattered independence movements into one strong voice. Through 'Sul Min-seok's Great Adventure in Korean History,' author Sul Min-seok hopes to share just how fierce and meaningful Korea's fight for independence truly was—and how deeply the March 1st Movement and the founding of the Provisional Government, now marking their 100th anniversaries, continue to shape our lives today. Through the story of the Provisional Government and the March 1st Movement, he hopes to help children understand just how precious our country is, and how many lives were given to protect it. 'Sul Min-seok's Great Adventure in Korean History 9' introduces children to the key historical events and figures of the independence movement that every child should know. It also shares the stories of lesser-known independence fighters who devoted themselves—often at great personal risk—to their country's freedom. We hope that this journey to find Gonggari will also be a meaningful moment for young readers to reflect on the dedication and sacrifice of our ancestors during the Japanese colonial era, as they fought tirelessly for their country's independence.
