Yu Gwan-sun

Korean Teenaged Activist Who Fought for Independence

This week, Sara brings us the story of Yu Gwan-sun! Raised in a Japan-occupied Korea, Gwan-sun only knew life where her Korean culture was being oppressed and destroyed, but when she turned sixteen, armed with her education and mad love for her country she stands up for Korean Independence. Her story is one you won’t want to miss! Special guest Earl T. Kim joins us to help shed light on this epic Korean history.

“Japan will fall…Even if my fingernails are torn out, my nose and ears are ripped apart, and my legs and arms are crushed, this physical pain does not compare to the pain of losing my nation…My only remorse is not being able to do more than dedicating my life to my country.”
