The National Debt Repayment Movement (The National Debt Redemption Movement) was a movement to restore national power between 1907 and 1908 to repay government bonds with public fundraising. It was started by Seo Sang-dong of Daegu on 30 January 1907. At that time the national debt was 13 million won. At the movement's height in 1908, it had amassed 190,000 won.
The movement attracted national appeal, and many gave up their tobacco in order to help repay the national debt. Women, including the kisaeng Aengmu, took a leading role in raising funds. The Japanese Government expected for the movement to subside. However, the movement later attracted the interest of the Japanese forces, who regarded it as a dangerous expression of Korean nationalism and sought to stifle and discredit it.
A large park in central Daegu is dedicated to the memory of the movement.
