Intro
Bang! A loud noise surged through the air. Fireworks? It doesn't seem like it... It's... a gunshot.
Hearing the gunshot, many people are firmly and persistently shouting 'Long live Korean independence!' Citizens: Long live Korean independence! Long live Korean independence! They shout while holding the Taegeukgi. It is not just one person's voice, but the voices of many.
Long live Korean independence! Before long, Sleepground joined in the cheers. It was all to reclaim the country. Why? Why is our country being taken away? I want the independence of Daehan. Why? Joseon is just an old name. Now, we want the name Daehan, or Korea. We won't stay in your hands forever. We will escape, we will not be held captive in your hands, and we will achieve independence. Everyone desires the independence of Daehan.
The citizens and Sleepground shout for Korean independence. Louder and louder, until it reaches far away. That is how much the citizens long for the independence of Daehan.
