About the Busan UN Cemetery
My contribution
In June 2024, driven by a growing interest in war after the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I visited the Busan UN Cemetery for the 74th memorial ceremony. Moved by the service, I designed and sold "Freedom Isn't Free" T-shirts to raise funds for a wreath, donated in honor of a fallen soldier, and published an article about the cemetery in the Leaders Times.
I brought the initiative to my school, presenting on the Korean War and the cemetery and selling 20 shirts, which funded 20 wreaths for fallen soldiers.
I returned in 2025 and again in 2026 for the 75th and 76th ceremonies, laying the wreaths our school funded and interviewing veterans. I also visited the UN Peace Memorial Hall and Busan Provisional Capital Memorial Hall, and compiled the work into a documentary video.
