国文原文を英訳してみると
Because they do not know that the
Korean people are independent, they do not feel resentful even when
foreigners despise Korea. Knowing this, they pretended to be vassals for
hundreds of years without thinking of revenge. Considering their weak
heart, how can they not be pitiful people? If the people are to rise,
the country must rise. If the country and its people are to rise, its
king You should be equal to the king of a foreign country, but Joseon
subjects say that you must be loyal to the king, but in reality, the
love of the king and country was not as good as the love of one"s own
body. However, even if he served under him, the officials and people
never once thought of resenting it, and they did not see the king of
Joseon as equal to the kings of Qing and other countries. Joseon became
an independent country because of the war between Japan and Qing
Dynasty, and now His Majesty the Grand Monarch of Joseon has become
equal with the emperors of the world, and because of that, the Korean
people have become equal with the people of all countries of the world.
If you think about this, it is the most important event in the 500 years
since the founding of the country. I heard recently that a new gate
was built at the place where the Yiwang Yeonjumun used to be in
Mohwagwan. It is the most shameful thing in the history of the Joseon
Dynasty. To wash away the shame, not only tear down the gate, but also
build Dongnimmun in the place where the gate stood. It is a custom to
build a high gate or erect a monument in the place of a victory when you
hear about a victory in a foreign country or a great event in the
country, much less the people of Joseon. It means that we should think
about the rights, honor, glory, and dignity of the country and raise it
more firmly so that future generations will not forget this.

… Joseon became independent
thanks to God after being a vassal of the Qing Dynasty for several
years, and now His Majesty the Grand Monarch of Joseon is equal to the
highest kings in the world, and the Joseon people have become free
people in the world. A No, there should be a target to advertise the
independence of Joseon to the world and to tell the descendants of
Joseon that Joseon was forever independent at this time. I have to
exercise there, so I will build a new Independence Gate in Mohwagwan and
turn it into a park, and I will tell you that it is a park that has
often been independent for a long time.

...朝鮮は数年間清国の属国であった後、神様のおかげで独立し、今では朝鮮の大君主陛下は世界の最高王と肩を並べ、朝鮮の人々は世界の自由民となったのです。いや違う、朝鮮の独立を世界に宣伝し、朝鮮の子孫に、この時、朝鮮は永遠に独立したのだと伝える目標があるはずです。そこで運動しなければならないので、慕華館に独立門を新設して公園にし、昔からよく独立した公園であることを伝えるのです。

2 独立門の原板の文字は李完用が書いた？
<東亜日報> 1924年7月15日記事 「（中略）独立門という三文字は李完用が書いたものです。 李完用は他のイ・ワンヨンではなく、朝鮮貴族、領袖侯爵閣下。 」
「独立協会結成の主役の一人だったおじいちゃんは当代の名筆としても挙げられ、西大門の外に建てた「独立門」の漢字・ハングル題字ともに書かれた。
悲願にある原版もほとんど祖父の字だ。
独立門の題字が「逆」李完用の字で一部誤って知られているが、肉眼で書体だけ比較しても間違った主張であることが分かる。 -ハンギョレ2010年1月3日 [道を探して] ” 日本作為投げられて亡命した祖父/キム・ジャドン”? 中から

...조선은 몇 년간 청나라의 속국인 후, 신 덕분에 독립해, 지금은 조선의 대군주폐하는 세계의 최고왕과 어깨를 나란히 해 조선의 사람들은 세계의 자유민이 되었습니다.아니 다른, 조선의 독립을 세계에 선전해, 조선의 자손에게, 이 때, 조선은 영원히 독립했던 것이라고 전하는 목표가 있다는 두입니다.거기서 운동해야 하기 때문에, 모화관에 독립문을 신설해 공원으로 해, 옛부터 자주(잘) 독립한 공원인 것을 전합니다.
