Censored Korean newspaper shows restrictions under Japanese colonial rule
South Korea celebrates National Liberation Day on August 15th.
As the historic date approaches, the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History is displaying old newspapers that were censored by the Japanese government.
Kim Yeon-seung met with an artisan who played a key role in this project.
These harshly drawn red marks are traces of Imperial Japan on Korean paper.
During the colonial rule from 1910 to 1945, freedom was scarce- and so was freedom of the press.
So the Korean newspaper Jung-oe Ilbo had to be censored.
Anything that hinted of Korean independence, defended Korean activists, or shed a bad light on Imperial Japan was struck off by the Japanese government.
But what Imperial Japan had tried to keep from the world is now openly displayed in the lobby of the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History.
