According to the automotive community Bobaedream on the 7th, on the 5th, a photo of a vehicle with a banner prominently displayed on the rear window reading 'Grass-cutting vehicle at the graves of independence activists Baek Eung-seon and Kim Si-sook' was posted, and at the bottom of the banner was the organization name 'Jeju Heungsadan.' The author, Mr. A, posted the photo under the title 'Vehicle Heading to the Countryside for Grass Cutting,' writing, "How proud must I have been to hang a banner and go to my hometown to cut grass? Let's hang banners in the cars of traitors and descendants of national traitors as well." The two people whose names were written on the banner were independence activists based in Jeju Island. Governor Baek Eung-seon was one of the 14 leaders of the independence movement centered around Jocheon-ri, Jeju in March 1919 . She was later arrested by the Japanese and served time in prison, and after her release, she suffered aftereffects and passed away at the age of 25 just six months later. Governor Kim Si-sook was known as the matriarch of the Jeju women's independence movement, and she opened a night school. She led women's activism, then moved to Osaka, Japan, where she organized the Association for the Protection of Korean Workers in Japan and continued her labor activism, passing away at the age of 54. The post reportedly spread across various online communities, and most netizens responded, "How proud must you be? I want to cut grass for you," "That's something to be proud of. If it were me, I would have posted it even bigger," and "Let's at least waive highway tolls," among other reactions. The car owner revealed the background of his ancestors as a descendant of independence activists. It turned out that the civic group 'Jeju Heungsadan,' which has been visiting the graves of Jeju-born independence activists who have found it difficult for the bereaved families to manage them directly, has been carrying out grass-cutting on their behalf. ,,,It's an advertisement for Jeju Heungsadan!!!!!!.,,,
