Today is Korea's liberation day. I think that is interesting on so many different levels. First off, this is what it means. With the official surrender of Japan to the Allied forces on August 15, 1945, the 35-year colonization of Korea by the Japanese came to an end. August 15, 1948 also marks the establishment of the Republic of Korea.
Secondly, N. Korea and S. Korea have celebrated this day together on many occasions since 2001.
Thirdly, you can go here and read what S. Korea's President Lee proposed for this year's celebration.
