October 25th, Today in History, Dokdo Day Dokdo Day was established by the private organization Dokdo Protection Corps in 2000 to commemorate the fact that Emperor Gojong of the Korean Empire designated Dokdo as an island affiliated with Ulleungdo on October 25, 1900. Dokdo has been recognized as Korean territory for a long time. Various historical documents, such as the Samguk Sagi and the Sejong Sillok Geography, clearly record Dokdo as Korean territory. In particular, An Yong-bok of the Joseon Dynasty was kidnapped by Japanese fishermen while fishing on Ulleungdo and then transferred to Tottori Domain for investigation. During this process, he convinced the shogunate that Ulleungdo and Usando were Korean territory and received a letter acknowledging this fact. Through this, he reestablished the sovereignty of Dokdo. Various commemorative events are held nationwide on Dokdo Day. Commemorative ceremonies and events to strengthen the will to protect Dokdo are held on Ulleungdo and Dokdo. Dokdo Day is an important day to reflect on the importance of Dokdo and solidify Dokdo's sovereignty. #History #Interesting story #Dokdo #An Yong-bok #Dokdo Defense Force Source: Bing, Wikipedia, Voice, Subtitle, Vrew
