The Seodaemun district in Seoul City -- which planned an event in which staff dressed as Japanese police officers are sprayed with water using water guns on the "Liberation Day " of Aug. 15, the anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese annexation (* not colonial rule) -- was criticized for "encouraging anti-Japan sentiment" and suddenly canceled the event.

Seodaemun District authority announced in advance that the "2024 Seodaemun Independence Festival" would be held at the "Seodaemun Prison History Museum" & "Seodaemun Independence Park" on Aug. 14 and 15.
According to the original plan, an "independence forces combat experience" event was scheduled to be held totally four times in the square in front of the warehouse attached to the women's prison, in which about 60 elementary school students who had made reservations in advance would shoot water guns at staff dressed as Japanese police officers.

The Seodaemun District authority canceled the event on Aug. 14, as a voice of criticism emerged that "encouraging anti-Japan feelings among children is inappropriate from an educational perspective" about such event.
The event was changed to the one in which participants would shoot water guns and burst paper lanterns.
Staff dressed as Japanese police officers also disappeared from the venue.
> また、この催しで日本人巡査の服を着たスタッフたちは模型の銃や刀などを持つ予定だったが、批判を浴びて巡査の服だけを着るように変更されていたことも分かった。
> イベントスタッフのコ・ピョンソンさん（23）＝男性＝は「もともとは独立軍戦闘体験イベントに投入され、小道具として模型の銃などを受け取る予定だった。予定が変更され、黒い鞘と巡査の服だけが提供された」と語った。
In addition, it turned out that, in this event, the staff dressed as Japanese police officers were scheduled to carry model guns and swords, but as criticism emerged, it was changed that they would only wear the police officer uniforms.
Event staff member Ko Pyeong-seon (23 years old male, correct spelling is unknown) said that "Originally, it was scheduled to be used in an independence army combat experience event and receive model guns and so on as props. But the plan was changed and only black scabbards and police officers uniforms were provided."
> 西大門区の関係者は本紙の電話取材に「独立当時のムードを出そうという狙いだった。しかし、『このような催しは子どもたちの反日感情を助長するなど、教育上、不適切だ』という指摘があったため、催しの内容を変更した」と説明した。
> 西大門区は 2010年から毎年、西大門独立祭りを開催している。
A Seodaemun district official explained to this newspaper in a phone-coverage that "Our aim was to recreate the atmosphere around the time of the (* fake) independence (* S. Korea was under U.S. junta from 1945 -48). However, we were pointed out that [such event could encourage anti-Japan feelings among children, it's therefore inappropriate from an educational perspective]. We therefore changed the content of the event."
Seodaemun district authority has been holding the "Seodaemun Independence Festival" every year since 2010.
