Jaeyong Chung – Revealing the independence movement in Joseon to next generations

1886 – 1976 – Independence fighter

“Without Jaeyong Chung, there was no 3.1 independence movement.” The start of 3.1 independence movement on March 1, 1919, was from the reading from Jaeyong Chung.

As an attempt of 33 national leaders to read the independence statement to initiate 3.1 independence movement at Tapgol Park failed, many of the participants were confused.

At that time, Jaeyong Chung, a student representative, read the independence statement, and 3.1 independence movement started thereafter.

Without courage of Jaeyong Chung, there might not be 3.1 independence movement in the history of Korea.
