Aug. 14 (UPI) -- The 80th anniversary Friday of Japan's World War II surrender announcement is a most significant date for Koreans.
The day marks their liberation from Japanese colonial rule. Amid the celebrations, one organization, Action for Korea United, is challenging the current state and future direction of South Korea.
Speaking to an international audience at a forum on "International Support for a Free and Unified Korea," Hyun Jin Preston Moon, an AKU founder, said that it was time for Koreans to take stock of where the country stood.
"The Miracle on the Han has hit its peak and will face a sharp decline," he said. "There is urgent need for reform and renewal in every sphere of national life."
