RE: Yun Bong-Gil - Patriotic Ginseng Liquor Set 대한민국 만세주 세트
Another interesting Korean history post... perhaps I missed it, but does the producer of the liquor have much or anything to do with the freedom fighter? Or is it a marketing tie in?
It's a partnership with a charity recognized by the ministry of culture and agriculture to promote tradional products (ginseng is regulated by the government) and support the charity. 10000KRW or 20% of the price goes to the charity.
I actually don't know a whole lot about the charity, but I'm guessing it's legitimate and either social welfare for colonial victims, support for relatives of liberation fighters, or just educational.
I'm not sure if Yun Bong-Gil would approve or not. He didn't have children and I'm guessing anyone who is remotely related to him is happy. Maybe they get a free bottle?
