Paik Ki-wan’s Ungu procession, who finished the ceremony in Seoul, arrived at Moran Park at 3:30 pm.

The funeral commissioners who arrived earlier made a place for Paik Ki-wan to live next to the tomb of Jeon Tae-il and waited.

As Paik’s coffin went down as the lowering ceremony proceeded, the bereaved family cried and the ‘March for Immortality’ made by the deceased rang out.

Memorials from Seoul filled the graveyard area. They wore a headband with “Labor Liberation”, the last phrase left by Paik Ki-wan in their lifetime, or a white mask with six letters of “Nonamegi World (A world where you and I also work and live properly)” to remember the deceased.

Paik Il, the son of the deceased, talked about his memories with his father, saying, “If your father died, but if all of you here take over and become Baek Ki-wan, the world of Nonamegi will open.”

Along with letters from workers who shared their intentions with Paik during their lifetime, the bereaved families covered the crown with dirt, and the lowering ceremony ended.

Major General Ki-wan Baek passed away on the 15th at 89 years old after fighting the disease. Born in Dongbu-ri, Jangnyeon-myeon, Eunyul-gun, Hwanghae-do in 1933, he has devoted himself to the unification and democratization movement since the 1950s and participated in the overall Korean social movement.
