On 30th, Jan in 2013, Aung San Suu Kyi arrived at Gwang-ju airport at 7pm and moved directly to Holiday-in Hotel and had a meeting with the honorary chairman, Man Hee Lee with warm welcoming. Especially both are such peace leaders for the whole world.

Man Hee Lee, A great peace maker (3)

Man Hee Lee is the honorary chairman of MANNAM Volunteer Association.

He is the anchor of MANNAM Volunteer Association.

The honorary chairman of MANNAM, Lee Man Hee, was a Korean War veteran, who fought in the frontlines. Having been deeply deplored over the tragedy of the fratricidal war and the death of the citizens of his own, the chairman Lee refuses to take any money that the Korean government provides monthly for former war veterans. He is a peace activist who loves his own nation and citizens, and who vigorously runs in effort to bring peaceful unification to the Korean peninsula.

While watching the tragedy of the fratricidal war, Lee made up his mind before his dying comrades that he would accomplish world peace and restore the lost light for his own country and citizens.

Why, why, and why did young men around the world have to die? For whom did they have to die? The sacrifice of their lives is greater than the universe. The wish of the deceased souls was surely the world peace and the restoration of light. Their wish must have been to live in a world without war and without death. Everyone living in this globe is the same family that surpasses national borders, races, or religions. Why do we have to fight against one another? Why do people have to kill others’ lives that are granted by the light, rain, and the air from heaven?

The honorary chairman of MANNAM, Lee was the first person who led the Korean New Town Movement in his hometown, Cheongdo. By having met the behind-the-scenes volunteer, Kim Nam Hee, the Mannam representative, the chairman Lee has expanded Mannam Volunteer Association not only nationwide but worldwide as well.

Furthermore, these two representatives hosted a commemorative event for the 54th Korean Memorial Day on June 6, 2009 (otherwise referred to as the First Citizens’ Festival for the Love of their Country, Love for Taeguk, Love for Moogunghwa). This festival was hosted on the road in front of the COEX Mall, Seoul, South Korea. The national flags of the 16 Korean War participating countries were made into 625 kites, and the two leaders let these kites float in the Seoul sky and prayed for the rest of the UN war veterans and the deceased souls. The two leaders determined their minds not to let the sacrifice of the veterans go in vain. In order to cherish the memory of the deceased souls, they made a large-scale Korean palm-printed flag (60 by 40 meters), which required the participation from 17,337 people--including students from elementary, middle, and high schools, and universities; citizens, soldiers, international residents, and more. This large-scale flag was put up, and the memory of the deceased souls was cherished by many Korean citizens. As Korea’s largest palm-printed flag, it has been registered in the Korean Book of Guinness, and it has been kept in the National Cemetery, Seoul. 

World Peace and the Restoration of Light

World peace and the restoration of light is the only way to resolve the unjust death of young people in war, and it will become the food for their spirits.

This is what Manhee Lee, the honorary chairman of MANNAM volunteer association has talked about a bit of world peace.

And what I'd like to emphasize is he even mentioned of the restoration of light.

He does know how to put words together.

He doesn't flatter with beautiful skill to use words together.

He puts his heart while he speaks.

People easily say "world peace" but not with doing.

People could be just waiting for something happen by outside factors, but I should be the first step to reach out world peace and peace should happen in myself first!

MANNAM volunteer association is full of those kinds of people who want to do something first, not just wait for somebody else to do.

I am so proud of being a part of this such cool gathering.

Thanks, MANNAM!;)

Are you pessimistic about world peace?

We live all together :)

Hi folks!
I am glad we have met each other via this blog (dosen't matter I only talk, you don't write any comments, still you can think about my idea for a bit, which I want to call ,a bit of communication).

I should be honest with you guys, I didn't really know about what has happened to the world, REALLY.
I was a kind of hearing some news like 911, Gulf war...something very obvious.
I can say I was absolutely ignorant of the world(OH MY!).

Though I could have a chance to see the different side of the world from what I had known.
I started to visit BBC News website and got shocked by a large number of tragedies such as natural disasters, terrors and etc.
I still remember the time I was talking about world peace with one of my friends who is from USA, he never imagines world can have peace.
I was sad but had not much to give back him, something special could affect his opinion about it.

But MANNAM.
Indeed I have been learning how world peace has been achieved by beautiful people.
Through MANNAM, I've slightly got connected with all the international people as friends.
I started to get exposed to a variety of new ideas, events, culture, history and etc.
MANNAM has affected me so much with such positive energy, so I don't think world peace won't be happening which many people have a view like this.

Let's give it a try.
A person is a bit but 2 people can communicate.
More people can really change the world.
Would you like to be the one with me?

The cornerstone of MIYC

When it comes to war, it is not the presidents, ministers, or legislators who go to fight. 

It is the young men who go to fight and die. 

How will this regrettable death be compensated for? 

We requested cooperation for our work of petitioning for the ‘ending war and for world peace and the restoration of light,’ and to have it turned into an international law, this is something they would do if they truly loved peace, their country and their people. 

They agreed to and signed the petition. 

The two presidents pledged to cooperate and participate with our country to work for the Reunification, and for world peace and the restoration of light. 

The broadcast announcing this content echoed throughout the global community.

We visited the Ethiopian veterans who fought in the Korean War, delivering, gifts and compensation funds.

We appeared in 8 broadcasting programs. 

The word seminar and meeting were held in South Africa. 

The word seminar was held at the City hall in the ‘mother city’ of Cape town, and the pastor meeting was held at the national assembly. 

I met with a pastor who had 350,000 (three hundred and fifty thousand) church members, and a pastor with 40 million church members. 

They promised they would participate in the work of ‘world peace and restoration of light,’ and will work together in the future. 

There were a couple more invitations from presidents of other countries, but I postponed the visits until January.

MANNAM & MIYC, Friends!

War is over when you want it!

I am so glad I speak English to be able to communicate with a great number of people from all over the world.

I am so happy to be able to be a part of MANNAM and MIYC easily, because their head offices are located in Seoul, Korea which takes not much to participate and volunteer(no worries for being on time anymore!).

Hand in hand, be good friends for each other, then world peace is already there.

If I was a good friend with North Korean governor, I would affect their next step.
It could be heard like childish, but It can be true though.
World can be simple but people in the world could make it complicated.

I want to be your friend, will you come to me?:)

10K walk for Peace

This tense between North Korea and South Korea..

Bombing again in Boston...

Pledge of Peace 

on 21st, April,2013 in Seoul Grand Park.

MANNAM International Youth Coalition held this event mainly with other international youth groups.


When : 2013.4.21 Sunday 1PM~4PM
Where : Seoul Grand Park (Seoul Grand Park stn. Line 4 - Exit 2)
What : Peace Speeches from youth representatives, 10K walk,  Making your badges with your fingerprint.

There were so many different people are against war.
The most impression part was people weren't aggressive to carry their point, even though they were so right which was wanting to have peace among us.
all of the people throughout the world gathered together and had 10K walk peacefully.
And some of them tried to transformed peaceful and young movement into a fun flash mob dance with K-pop music.
I have seen and found tons of movements doing seriously with less of fun but MIYC rocked!

I had a chance to make a new friend from Nepal and we are officially friends now via facebook! lol
I hope this kind of peaceful movement spreads throughout the world.

I am so glad I made my way there and be part of PEACE.
