Lee Seung Hoon (Namgang) was a wealthy businessman in Pyeongan, Korea before the Japanese war began, causing him to lose all of his property. However, Namgang was able to rebuild his business and from there went on to build Osan School as a cradle for national leaders. Shortly after he became an educator, he became a part of the Shinminhoe in 1907, an anti-Japanese secret society. Due to his involvement in this secret society, he was involved in the 105-Man Incident where 700 Koreans were arrested by the Japanese colonists in 1911. This arrest led him to be the first and last person exiled to Jeju Island and sentenced to ten years in prison. However, he only served five of the ten years he was sentenced.
Lee Seung Hoon also played an integral role in the March 1st Movement in 1919 by being one of the main organizers of the movement. He had a special quote he would say to passersby in order to encourage them to join the March 1st Movement: “You are all masters of this nation, so do not rely on others. All of you must stand up and cry ‘Love Live Korea,’ then we shall be independent.” With the use of these words, Lee Seung Hoon’s goal was to spark “the spirit of the nation.”
