  • Gwangbokjeol, (literally "Restoration of the Light Day") celebrated annually on August 15, is one of the Public holidays in South Korea. It commemorates Victory over Japan Day, which liberated Korea from Japanese rule. The South Korean government was created three years later, on August 13, 1948, when Syngman Rhee was sworn in as the first President of South Korea. In North Korea, it is known as Chogukhaebangŭi nal. (조국해방의 �; "Liberation of Fatherland Day") Korea did not gain actual independence on August 15, 1945 (except for the short-lived People's Republic of Korea), but was occupied by the armies of the world's two superpowers, who oversaw the decommissioning of Japanese troops on the peninsula. The North was occupied by the Red Army and governed by the Soviet Civil Authority. The South was occupied by the United States starting August 13, 1945.
  • Gwangbokjeol ist ein Nationalfeiertag, der in Nord- und in Südkorea jährlich in Gedenken an die Unabhängigkeit von Japan statt findet. Davor waren beide Staaten Teil des Japanischen Kaiserreiches unter dem Provinznamen Chōsen. Auch wird von beiden Staaten dieser Feiertag am 15. August 1945 durchgeführt, obwohl Japan zumindest im Süden de facto bis zum 12. September 1945 und de jure bis zum Inkrafttreten des Friedensvertrags von San Francisco am 28. April 1952 die Verwaltungshoheit für ganz Korea besaß. In Südkorea wird zudem an diesem Tag der Anfänge der Republik 1948 gedacht.
