Hi, there.
Today is Korean Memorial day(Hyunchungil).
It is a South Korean public holiday on the sixth day of June every year, that commemorates all the Koreans who have contributed or died while serving the Republic of Korea.
On this day, a memorial ceremony is held in Seoul National Cemetery, first started in 1956. At 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, a siren rings all over the country, and people have silent prayers for one minute. The South Korean flag is flown at half-staff.
Usually, President of South Korea, Prime Minister, Speaker of the National Assembly, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Korea, President of the Constitutional Court of Korea, and Chairperson of National Election Commission join this Memorial Day as heads of highest constitutional institution in South Korea.
In every year this annual day of 10 a.m., they give a silent prayer and remember the Righteous army, Korean Liberation Army and Republic of Korea Armed Forces.
How is your day? Hope it’s okay 😀
