We just realized today is 光复节 “Restoration of Light Day” (also called “Liberation Day of Korea”). Please see this explanation first:
Gwangbokjeol (literally “Restoration of Light Day”), also called Liberation or Independence Day of Korea, celebrated annually on August 15, is one of the public holidays in South Korea. It commemorates Victory over Japan Day, which liberated Korea from colonial rule.

How appropriate that Park Si Hoo’s first work since the beginning of 2013, his Chinese movie “Scent”, is opening in 3,800 cinemas all across China! This is indeed PSH’s comeback! The phoenix rising from the ashes! The re-birth of PSH the actor!
光复节（朝鮮語：광복절）是韩国和朝鲜的公立假日，在每年8月15日庆祝。这一天是为了纪念1945年8月15日第二次世界大战对日战争胜利纪念日，其意味着日本殖民统治的结束。三年后的1948年8月15日韩国政府成立。1949年10月1日起光复节成为了韩国的公立假日。朝鲜称呼为祖国光复节，亦是朝鲜的公立假日。
