The commemoration of Korea's 106th 3.1 Day at the Independence Hall took place with minimal attendance. The event was simplified due to political controversies, including the resignation of Kim Hyung-suk, the head of the hall, amid allegations of pro-Japanese sentiment. Traditionally held events like 'The Korean Shout' and performances by the Air Force Black Eagles and the Korea Taekwondo Promotion Foundation were conducted, but without notable officials and descendants of independence fighters. Many local politicians and associations decided not to attend in protest.
