Especially, today(June 6th) is Memorial Day in Korea.

MANNAM Volunteer Association, which focuses on culture and art, has joined the World's 54 volunter organizations. MANNAM mainly volunteered around Gangnam, Seoul, unnoticealbe, but with a pure heart. In 2008, a bazaar was held for those in need at the Apgujung, Chungdam elementary school and ten thousand citizens, including local residents participated. Gangnam district office was surprised with the outcome and suggested holding another event together. So, on April 6th, Memorial Day of 2009, a public patriotic event was held which one hundred thousand people participated on Yeongdong main-street (blocking eight-lanes) in front of the Coex Mall and MANNAM became known as a light of the world. From the spark of these events, MANNAM became a global volunteer organization by allying with 54 domestic and foreign volunteer organizations. The united volunteer organization is enthusiastically volunteering with many domestic and foreign regions. MANNAM, the pride of Korea, will spread the culture of love by lighting up the darkness with the light of love.


Entered in the Korean Guinness book of record. The world’s largest handprint Korean national flag is kept preserved in the National Cemetery. Width 60m x Length 40m, a total of 17,337 people participated.

 The world's largest Korean national flag, made by handprints, was listed in the Korean Guinness Book on 2009, July 18th. From Children's Day (May 5th) when the Korean national flag was simply a pure-white sheet, till the completion of the flag, it stayed on displayed at the Olympic Park Peace Plaza, where every country’s flags exist. This was a precious time of sharing for citizens of Korea to confirm their love of the Korean national flag, without distinction of gender, age, or nationality. It was a moment in which Korea and the world could become one, by gathering people’s hearts and participating in the simple action of hand printing. Departed patriots would have felt proud by seeing the supersized Korean national flag preserved in the national cemetery.

Now, Let's take our time  for a lasting 'peace' to celebrated Memorial Day.
It's time that we begin to talk of peace.

"Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagien all the people
Living life in peace

You ay say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one"

-John Lennon, Imagine
