According to the production company of the movie "Mapado," actor Lee Jeong-jin
will participate in an event on March 25 aimed at protecting the Dokdo Islets.
The idea of holding the event was proposed by the cast of the movie "Mapado" as
part of the nation's efforts to protect the islets recently claimed by
Japan.
Actor Kim Eul-dong, who plays a lead role in the movie, said that
he hoped the movie will inspire the Korean people to defend Dokdo, just like
elderly women defended the picturesque island of Mapado in the past. At the
event, the movie's cast members, including Lee and Kim, will present their
opinions about the Dokdo issue to the audience.
All proceeds from the
event will be donated to funding the Dokdo Coastguard. Messages written by
visitors at the event will be delivered to the Japanese embassy in Korea.
