The Issue

  Syngman Rhee was an opportunist and a murderer who could not be reevaluated in the history of Korea. He was also famous for killing innocent civilians, and when the Korean War broke out, He blew up the Han River Bridge and was the only one who ran away first.

  In addition, he was impeached by the provisional government for denying the resolution and constitution of the provisional government, and He suppressed independence activists, helping pro-Japanese people to rise to prominence in today's Korean society. 
  He is also a dictator who was chased by angry Civilians while committing fraudulent elections, judicial murder, and constitutional abuses.


  Half a century has passed, but there are still many people living in Korea suffering from Syngman Rhee's trauma. Therefore, To build a memorial for him is Waste of taxes, ridicule of the people, ruining the values of future generations. In other words, it is very shameless and unethical.

And most of all, killing those who died miserably at the time twice,
Not only that, It is an act of treason that erases the foundation of Korea by denying 'the law of the provisional government established by the March 1st Movement' and 'inheriting the 4.19 democratic ideology against injustice' that constitutes the Constitution of Korea.

 

 


As a result, the construction of the Syngman Rhee Memorial should not be done.
