Emerging social issues in Korea

Focusing on the historical distortions of Ilbe




  Ilbe, an abbreviation of the word 'best day', is one of the Internet community which is commonly known as a conservative site. Recently, By the way, as their distortion of history about 5‧18 Gwangju Democratization Movement become known through news and internet portals, it became a serious social problem. So, I will try to explain in detail on how to distort the 5‧18 Democratic movement at a post this time. After you take a look at simple Prior to this, I write "what is the 5‧18 Democratic movement?" and describe the truth of the 5‧18 Democratic movement, at last how Ilbe distort about 5‧18 Democratic movement. 

   5.18 democratic movement is a movement that demanded the resignation of the people of the new military, including the Chun Doo Hwan security commander and the abolition of martial law, and the release of Kim Dae-jung, began from all south region and Gwangju. As one of the modern history of Korea, it outbreak in May 18, 1980, ended May 27, 1980, while inheriting the democracy movement earlier. There is a significance to that in terms of the resistance to military dictatorship citizens become one, showing the higher awareness of the masses' growth, and that became the foundation of the National Democratic movement in the 1980s. 

   Next, cover the pro-democracy movement against the truth of it. It is the first Supreme Court. Through the Supreme Court ruling has admitted for the following issues.
 1. The martial law army hit and injury to the protesters.
 2. The Martial law army perform hard-line suppression strategy arresting a           large amount of protesters to escape the inside of the building or store.
 3. The martial law army shoot towards citizens.
 4. Even though it can not be viewed as being made ​​to stand on a point of          crisis, Gwangju citizens imminent for armed resistance, in order to achieve      the purpose of the rebellion, by this the martial law forces perform the            Gwangju re-entry strategy, many citizens fell victim.

   The following is a UNESCO listed. UNESCO through a verification process at home and abroad 'North Korean gaeipseol' or 'riot set' and concluded that it is false. Then the judges May 25, 2011 14 people had unanimously Heritage of World Records.
Finally, the government acknowledged that. the president, Park Geun-hye, said on a speech "On 5.18 Democratization Movement Democratic Remembrance Day, I again would like the deep mourning in front of a memorial to the heart of it." By setting the word, the value of the democracy movement was observed.

   On the other hand, considering the condition that 63.5% of people take slander, distortion, condemnation, and method expressing hatred seriously, Professor Geun-sik Jung(Seoul National University Department of Sociology) announced the result of his analysis of pages posted on "Il-gan Best Jeo-jang-so(Ilbe)" between June 2011 and February 2014. Not only that, but also one can easily identify the critical problems of the website "Ilbe" even by skiming through it and I have selected some of those problems below. 

  First, Ilbe pervert 5.18 democratic movement as a riots claiming the protesters are rioter aimed a gun at martial law army in riot and distortion 5.18 democratic struggle.
  Second, Ilbe will protect dictatorship. And they justify the military dictatorship of the time and set a high value a perpetrator who killed the citizens of more than victims of 5.18 the day.
   Third, Ilbe disparage people are not capable of thinking for yourself, and believe the law of the jungle.
   Fourth, Ilbe claim outrageous that North Korea was involved in the 5.18 democratic movement.
   Fifth, showed a pathological aversion Ilbe is defined Gwangju Metropolitan Jeolla as the enemy. In addition, such as humility and Ying Jeolla people, to grant regional feelings.
   Finally, Ilbe are guilty of defamation of the deceased, the victims of 5.18.
