On the 19th, Jeongeup City held a symposium at the Baek Jeong-gi Doctor Memorial Hall in Yeongwon-myeon to commemorate the 91st anniversary of the patriotic martyrdom, shedding light on the achievements and spirit of independence activist Doctor Baek.

The symposium was organized to reemphasize Doctor Baek Jeong-gi's spirit of independence in the local community and to discuss the direction of future revitalization projects. Baek Nam, from the Ahh Local Content Research Institute, assumed the role of the head of the society, while Lee Hong-ro, the office director of the Baek Jeong-gi Doctor Memorial Society, shared collaborative activities with Jeongeup City. Lee Do-hyeong, the chairman of Eolhakhoe, presented activation strategies for future revitalization projects based on a survey of the awareness of the three martyrs at Hyochang Park (Baek Jeong-gi, Yun Bong-gil, Lee Bong-chang).

Jeongeup Mayor Lee Hak-soo expressed hope that the event would serve as an opportunity to establish practical strategies for inheriting Doctor Baek Jeong-gi's spirit of independence, urging continuous citizen participation.

Participants exchanged various opinions to foster future citizen empathy and practical action plans, and the symposium is scheduled to be publicly available through Jeongeup City's official YouTube channel, 'JeongeupSEE.'
