Independence Club
political party in Korea
The Independence Club (Korean: 독립협회, 獨立協會) was a Korean association that supported the independence movement during the Joseon dynasty.[1] It was active from 1896 to 1899. The club was an early supporter of human rights and people's democracy in Korea. It was founded by Seo Jae-pil and Yun Chi-ho.
The group helped build the Independence Gate.[1] and set up the People's Joint Association.[2]
