S. Koreans mark centennial of independence movement against Japan

A familiar rallying cry.


NAT SOUND [Koreans shouting 'manse'!]


On these same streets 100 years ago, Koreans also shouted manse, or long live, as they declared their independence from Japan.


Millions would march and thousands would die as Japan launched a brutal, nationwide-crackdown on the independence movement that began on March first, 1919.


President Moon Jae-in honored the freedom fighters at a speech downtown.


But he also focused on the next one-hundred years.


He said South Korea will take a leading role to secure peace.


Moon said he hopes to resume projects with North Korea, including tourism and a joint light-industry complex just north of the border.


His remarks come just a day after President Donald Trump and leader Kim Jong-un failed to reach a deal at their summit in Hanoi.


Ever optimistic, Moon said when there is progress on denuclearization, Seoul will form a committee to create economic achievements that help both Koreas.
