President Lee Jae-myung will host a citizen invitation event at the Blue House on July 17 to mark the launch of the 'Light Commission' on Constitution Day.
The Blue House announced on July 13 that President Lee will attend the 'Light Commission Launch Commemoration Citizen Invitation Event.'
The Light Commission, established by the Lee Jae-myung administration in March, is a presidential committee that will honor the contributions of citizens who opposed armed soldiers during the 12.3 martial law period, with a mandate lasting until March 2028.
On June 26, President Lee appointed Park Mi-kyung, chairperson of the Gwangju Environmental Movement Union, as the chair of the Light Commission.
The event will also include First Lady Kim Hye-kyung, Chairperson Park, and other members of the Light Commission, including ex-officio government members.
Additionally, around 100 citizens and civil society figures who participated in protests against the 12.3 martial law and the subsequent impeachment rally of former President Yoon Suk-yeol will be invited to the Blue House.
During the event, President Lee will express gratitude for the dedication of citizens who resisted the 12.3 martial law and will present certificates of appreciation to citizen representatives.
After his opening remarks, President Lee plans to watch the documentary film 'Ran 12.3,' which addresses the events surrounding the 12.3 martial law, and share his impressions with the attendees.
