Pavel Tsoi and his relatives, along with other descendants of independence activists, became Korean citizens at a special naturalization ceremony held at the National Memorial of the Korean Provisional Government in Seoul. The event, which took place ahead of National Liberation Day, commemorated the China-based Korean government in exile during Japanese colonization. Tsoi's great-grandfather, who fought for Korea's independence in the 1920s, was honored, and Tsoi's decision to become a Korean citizen was influenced by a desire to address the country's low birth rate. In addition to the Tsoi family, Penjan Antonio Eng Lim from Cuba also obtained Korean nationality, becoming the first in his family to do so. He expressed a commitment to contribute to South Korea in the field of artificial intelligence as a way of honoring his great-grandfather's sacrifice and the support he received from the South Korean government. The naturalization of descendants of independence activists is part of South Korea's efforts to address unresolved historical issues and recognize the contributions of national heroes. The South Korean government has been actively seeking the descendants of independence activists to honor their service and contribution to the country. However, challenges in locating these descendants persist due to various reasons, including the loss of records and the use of pseudonyms by the activists. The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs continues its efforts to locate and honor the descendants of Persons of Distinguished Service to Independence, encouraging them to come forward and connect with the ministry.
