Democratic Movement in Korea

The Democratic Movement in Korea refers to a series of protests and activities advocating for democracy and political reform in both North and South Korea. In South Korea, notable events include the Gwangju Uprising in 1980 and the June Struggle in 1987, where citizens demanded greater political freedom and an end to authoritarian rule. In North Korea, dissent is heavily suppressed, but there have been underground movements pushing for change. Overall, these movements have played a crucial role in the ongoing fight for democracy and human rights on the Korean Peninsula.
