Sangcheol's Diary Podcast_상철의 일기

There was a news on the television this evening about a death of 29 years ago. It was about Mr. Lee Han-yoel, who was dead 29 years ago. He was killed after being shot by police during the anti-government demonstration in 1987. In those days, police used tear gas bomb to the people participating the anti-governement demonstration. As an university student, Mr. Lee attended the demonstration in June 9th, 1987 and was shot by tear gas bomb. Unfortunately it directly hit his head and he got seriously injured right after that and was dead some days later. At that time, he was only 21 years old. Someone said that he was killed by military dictatorship, not only by tear gas bomb. Even though 29 years have passed after his death, I think that Korean society has not changed very much. Military dictatorship has not gone yet. Furthermore daughter of the former dictator is still in power. I will be sleepless tonight.
