In 1932, during the Japanese occupation, Dr. Lee Bong-chang threw a grenade at the Emperor in Tokyo, Japan. Although it did not achieve its will, it was a cause that opened the door to the independence movement. So, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the law, there are voices calling for a reevaluation of Dr. Lee Bong-chang.

Said that he would rather live as a Japanese, he had to change jobs in Japan, but when he was imprisoned for being a Korean while attending the coronation ceremony of the emperor, he became aware of who he was.

A modern boy who lived as a colonial young man a century ago, never got a job, bought a house, or got married, and experienced the same frustration and resentment as the N-po generation these days. The life and spirit of Bongchang Lee.
