The Korea Liberation Corps was a Korean association formed 1913 to fight against Japanese rule. At its height its members numbered about 200. The Korea Liberation association (대한광복회, 大韓光復會) was a successor organization to Korea Liberation Corps.

The corps was initially organized in Punggi by Kim Byeong-yeol, Kang Byeong-su, Yu Chang-sun, Jang Du-hwan, Yi Gak, Han Hun, Yu Jang-yeol, Jeong Jin-hwa, Chae Gi-jung, Jeong Man-gyo, Hwang Sang-gyu, Kim Sang-ok, and Jeong Un-hong. This group is sometimes called the "Punggi Gwangbokdan," or Punggi Liberation Corps. In 1915 this group united with a group of independence leaders in Daegu at an assembly in Dalseong Park, to officially form the Korea Liberation Corps.

A Memorial Park for the corps was created in Punggi-eup in 1994 and completed in 2003.
