Be "COATABLE"


A coat completes the whole outfit, but because there are different designs it gives off different auras.

Here we have Uee, Yoona and Jeon So Min with their outfits.

UEE


Uee wore a coat that speaks back to the basic. The star attended the VIP premiere of the movie “My Little Brother” and she gained a lot attention from the press. She wore a white blouse, boot-cut denim jeans and matched it with a beige trench coat. An additional bonus to the whole ensemble was her short hair.

YOONA


Yoona was seen at the airport because of her schedule overseas. She wore a double coat that gave off a warm and the perfect look. The double coat is known as the “tteokbokki coat” which makes the look sound cute and young.

JEON SO MIN


Jeon So Min was also at the VIP premiere of “My Little Brother” wearing a black and white outfit and matched with a bright red long coat.

Independence Movement Day


This day commemorates the time when Korean’s resisted the occupation of the Japanese and fought their independence. It is sometimes called Samil Independence because Samil literally means “Three-One Movement” or “March First Movement”. It can also be referred to Manse Demonstrations because as the activists were rallying they were shouting the word “Manse”, which meant “Hooray!”.

It all started on March 1, 1919 when the South Koreans were rallying for their independence when Japan ruled their country after the end of the Joseon Dynasty. This movement was one of the earliest public displays of Korean resistance.

The Japanese Empire started repressing the freedom of the Koreans during 1905. Until the “Fourtain Points” (a statement of principles of peace) by President Woodrow Wilson declared at the Paris Peace Conference in January 1919.

There were 33 activists who formed the Samil Movement in Taehwagwan Seoul and read the Korean Declaration of Independence.

Then on May 24, 1919, March 1 was designated a national holiday.
