Jeju April 3 Incident commemorative ceremony (Prof. An Junseong)
제주 4•3추념식 전문가 대담 ('Prof. An Junseong' - 안준성 교수)
We are almost ready to cross over to Jeju Island for the ceremony and President Moon Jae-in's speech. In the meantime,... let's get some more in-depth analysis of the Jeju April Third Incident from an expert. We'll be keeping a close eye on the goings on in Jeju as we go as we await the president. Joining us is An Junseong, Visiting Professor from J.D. Michigan State University, currently at Yonsei University in Seoul.
Thanks for coming.
Q1. I’d like to ask you to explain in detail what happened during the “Jeju April 3rd” or “April Third incident”? Even for many Koreans, it’s an unfamiliar but important part of the country’s history…
Q2. Official reports say around 14,400 people were killed, but some estimates put the figure more like 30,000, which would have been 10 percent of the island’s population at the time. Why were the actions of the soldiers against innocent civilians so severe?
Q3-1. For someone just hearing about the history, I suspect it’s quite hard for them ? especially our international viewers ? to wrap their heads around the events that took place. Would you say the “April Third incident” played the main role in Jeju islanders’ identity as it is today?
Q3-2. And would you say the massacre drove a wedge between Jeju islanders and those from the mainland. And is there still a wedge that exists even now?
Q4. Can you tell us about government efforts to compensate the survivors and the bereaved families. What did they receive and do you think it was sufficient? (What more should be done?)
Q5-1. What’s your take on the commemoration? And what significance do you put on President Moon attending this year’s ceremony?
Q5-2. Is this part of President Moon’s desire to make history right and digest it however painful it may be? In his draft of a bill on amending the Constitution, he added references to democratic movements in the preamble to his proposal for the Constitutional changes.
Q6. President Moon served as chief of staff to late former president Roh Moo-hyun, who in October 2003, apologised on behalf of the national government for the April Third incident. He was the first incumbent leader to do so. Do you think another reason for President Moon to attend today is his ongoing close affection for his former boss?
Q7. South Korean leaders before President Moon didn’t attend previous ceremonies. Do you think it was their duty to go… and should it continue to be the duty of future presidents ? regardless of their political affiliations ? to attend this ceremony?
Q8. During my research for our chat, I read that Jeju islanders weren’t allowed to to talk publicly about the April Third incident until 1997. Can you explain why the people of Jeju weren’t allowed to speak up until then… and what changed in 1997.
Q9-1. Since it wasn’t in the public discourse for so many decades as it was purged from historical records, do you think the people of Korea have had enough time to squarely face the history of the April third incident?
Q9-2. Should more be done to teach students about that dark period in Korea’s history?
Q10. For our viewers who want to learn more. A movie released about the brutality brought against the people of Jeju during the incident. It’s a 2012 release called ‘Jiseul’ and it was highly acclaimed both here in Korea and internationally. Have you seen it and would you say it shows a realistic depiction of the events?

Jeju 4•3 Incident and efforts to discover the truth
제주 4•3사건 개요 및 진상규명의 노력
And now along with the Moon Jae-in administration's efforts to commemorate and discover the truth about the April Third Jeju Incident that began 70 years ago today, our Cha Sang-mi delves deeper into what triggered the incident and why it is not considered an official part of Korea's modern history.
Jeju Island is famous for its beauty and natural wonders, but its dark history is often overlooked.
In 1947, the shooting of civilians by police during the March 1st Movement celebration triggered a period of turmoil on Jeju island.
A child at the march was ran over by the police. As the crowd grew louder around the policeman who claimed he didn't know there was a kid, other officers started firing their guns at innocent people, killing 6. If the government back then and the U.S. military government had apologized, this might not have become such a big incident.
“The April 3rd Jeju Incident is series of events that took place from 1947 to 1954, resulting in the highest number of casualties in modern Korean history, excluding the Korean War. Some twenty-five thousand to thirty thousand people were killed.
It was a horrific massacre.
But the truth behind the incident wasn't revealed until over half a century later.
The then-government distorted the incident as a communist riot and banned the public from even discussing it. There was a time when authors would get arrested if they published novels or literary pieces featuring this theme.
Citizens' efforts to find the truth led to the Special Act on the restoration of honor of the victims in 2000.
One of public-level efforts includes a petition to obtain an official apology for the incident from the United States. We can't just blame the then-U.S. government, but it is true they were behind the strategy and planning.
Reconciliation movements have also been seen on Jeju Island recently - the families of the deceased and the police association making reconciliatory statements and paying tribute together.
The general Korean public lacked understanding of the Jeju Incident, often thinking it is just the history of Jeju. So the people of Jeju felt very isolated, but the incident is not just Jeju's history. It is our country's tragedy that we need to help heal and restore.
The head of the national museum says this is a horrendous event in Korean history, but many parts of the world nowadays are also experiencing similar tragedies, and that through understanding and empathizing with the pain of Jeju Incident people can strive together to try and prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Jeju Massacre
On this day in 1948, the Korean province of Jeju was caught in a Cold War conflict and a civil war-like period of violence and human rights abuses, known as the Jeju Uprising and Massacre, begins.
The seeds of the uprising were sowed after Japan’s defeat in World War II, which saw American and Soviet troops occupy the southern and northern parts of the Korean peninsula, respectively. A prearranged agreement between US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin saw their occupation strictly separated at the 38th parallel.
The conflict heated up on 14 November 1947 when the United Nations passed UN Resolution 112 calling for a general election in the Korean peninsula under UN supervision. The Soviet Union, which was occupying the north, refused to comply with the resolution, so the UN Assembly adopted a new resolution calling for elections for a new regime in areas accessible to the UN Commission, mainly the US-occupied south.
Upon this news, Jeju erupted. Labor party leaders like the communist Workers Party of South Korea planned rallies on 1 March to denounce and block the upcoming elections scheduled for 10 May. Police reacted, killing six protestors and arresting some 2,500 more. The rebels planned retaliation. On 3 April 1948 they attacked 11 police stations, mutilated bodies, and burned polling centers for the upcoming election. The South Korean government sent 3,000 soldiers to reinforce the Jeju police, but several hundred soldiers mutinied, handing arms caches to rebels. The government wanted a full surrender; the rebels, disarmament of local police, dismissal of governing officials, and a prohibition of paramilitary groups on the island. Most of all, however, they wanted a reunification of the Korean peninsula.
The demands were too much, negotiations fell through, and the conflict continued. On 25 June 1950, North Korea crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded the South. The South Korean military ordered a preemptive apprehension of suspected leftists across the nation. Thousands of people were detained in Jeju, sorted into four groups, A, B, C, and D, according to security risk. On 30 August 1950, the South Korean Navy instructed Jeju police to “execute all those in groups C and D by firing squad no later than September 6.” South Korean soldiers assaulted Jeju villages, executing men and raping women. When it was over, some 70 percent of Jeju’s 230 villages had been burned and some 14,373 people killed as victims of the targeted killing, according to South Korea’s Truth Commission. The estimated total death toll was as high as 30,000.
After the massacre, the South Korean government covered up the Jeju Uprising and Massacre, outlawing the Workers Party of South Korea and intimidating any who dared to mention the Jeju Massacre with beatings, torture, and prison sentences. A cave with remains from the massacre was sealed and the event purged from historical records. Thanks to the reinstatement of civil rule in the 1990s, however, the South Korean government has acknowledged and apologised for the suppression and massacre. Today, efforts are still being made to understand the scope of the massacre and compensate survivors.

The Tasks of History Education for a New East Asia in a Globalized World II
The Northeast Asian History Foundation, which leads Korea's education on East Asian history, believes that a high quality education in the history of East Asia, one with vision and historical introspection, is extremely important. It is difficult to produce an alternative discourse for the future and the peace of East Asia without new understandings regarding regional history.
The session will provide a forum for a straightforward and serious discussion of the philosophy, contents, and methodology of education in East Asian history, and of the East Asian discourses. The participants will also have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research in Germany, which contributes to historical reconciliation and to establish new understandings of Europe through research and cooperation.
The Foundation is especially interested in initiating education in East Asian history and developing new understandings of East Asia and practical methodologies. The primary objective of the Foundation and of this session is to explore future directions for understanding in East Asia and history education in this globalized world by reviewing the experiences of knowledge exchange in East Asia and sharing a vision for the future beyond a nation-centric view of history

100 Icons of Korean Culture Ep43C01 Soju and City People
Soju and Makgeolli
Soju and makgeolli are more than just drinks Koreans consume and get intoxicated with.
They are like a culture to be enjoyed with friends and, at times, a panacea for fatigue. They have long been a part of the lives of Koreans - a part of both their joys and sorrows.
We look at soju and makgeolli from the point of view of a son in his forties and a father in his seventies.
소주와 막걸리
소주와 막걸리는 한국인에게 먹고 마시고 취하는 음식 그 의상의 의미다.
소주와 막걸리는 일상에 지친 몸과 마음에 힘을 주는 회복제였고 여럿이 함께 모여 마시면 그 자체로 노래요 풍류였다. 그렇게 소주와 막걸리는 서민들의 희로애락을 담은 음식으로 세대를 거쳐 한국인과 함께 해 왔다. 그렇다면 소주와 막걸리에 어떤 매력이 있기에 국민 대다수가 즐겨 찾는 '국민주'가 되었을까?
본 프로그램에서는, 우리 세대를 대표하는 40대의 아들과 70대의 아버지의 시선으로 소주와 막걸리에 대해 이야기한다.
Arts & Culture: Part 2 - Art exhibitions in Seoul
That certainly does seem like a very exciting new production, and with the taekwondo, it's something that many audiences may not have experienced.
That's right, it combines a great story with the excitement of martial arts to create an interesting and fun production.
Alright, now on to some ideas for Culture Day?
Well, it seems that the brand new Seoul branch of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art was among the top places to visit for Culture Day, boasting an increase of 167 percent compared to the day before.
That is quite impressive indeed.
And since art exhibitions seem like the hot ticket, how about some wonderful and unique art exhibitions that you may not have known about? Let's take a look.
On the rooftop of an art museum under the night sky... a peculiar light can be seen, lit up inside what looks to be a small room.
This is a unique installation titled Disappearing Room.
Visitors can experience what it feels like to disappear, while also enjoying the nighttime scenery.
Visitors can go into the room and really disappear. My intent was to create a slapstick comedy type of experience for visitors to enjoy.
Ten artists have gathered to present unique exhibitions held not inside -- but on top of and around the museum grounds.
And the Disappearing Room is just one part of the exhibition titled 6 - 8 that is currently being held at the Gyeongju branch of Artsonje Center in Gyeongsanbuk-do until March 29th.
The title simply represents the hours that the exhibition can be enjoyed -- from six to eight in the evening.
Also currently on display is the craft exhibition Ohn Ki.
It's a massive collection by over 100 artists and designers, displaying over 360 pieces of artwork, including pieces by master artisan Min Young-ki, whose works have been displayed at the Victoria Albert Museum in England and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
This comprehensive craft exhibition consists of both classic crafts by master artisans and also more contemporary works crafted by modern artists.
The title Ohn Ki depicts the passion of the artist and the perfection of the crafts, which can be experienced at Culture Station Seoul 284 in Jongno-gu, Seoul, until March 9th.
Those are some great ideas for the many fans of art and culture that will be out and about for Korea's second monthly Culture Day tomorrow and of course on the weekend.
And these are just a few of the 1,000 venues that are participating in this month's Culture Day.
So, with the success that this idea seems to be having, do you think the number of participating venues will continue to increase as the year goes on?
Oh, I definitely do see this becoming bigger and bigger.
And take this into consideration -- the months following the year-end holidays, the colder months of January, February and even March are what are considered the slow season for cultural activities.
Yet even at this time, we're seeing a positive reaction from both residents of Korea and participating venues.
This is definitely a great sign of things to come when the culture season really starts picking up as the weather gets warmer.
Alright. Sounds great to me.
Thank you, Tae Ho, and we'll see you again tomorrow.
You're welcome. Have a good afternoon.

S.Korean Catholic body to regularly send delegates to N.Korea / YTN
South Korea's Catholic body said it will regularly send delegations to North Korea to jointly celebrate major religious events.
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea made the announcement on Monday after its 17-member delegation returned from a four-day trip to Pyongyang, which started last Tuesday at the invitation of the North Korean Catholic Association.
The CBCK said it has agreed with their North Korean counterpart that the southern side will dispatch its delegations to take part in prayers at Changchung Cathedral in Pyongyang, the North's sole Catholic church, for major feasts every year.
It added that the first event would be Easter Mass in April.
It was the first time that a delegation solely consisting of South Korean bishops and priests has crossed into the North since the end of the Korean War.

Another Traditional Korean Dance at the Tamraguk-Ipchungut-nori
The Tamraguk-Ipchungut-nori is a Shaman festival in Jeju (South Korea) that performs a ritual asking for plentiful harvest for the year. It's a 3 day festival that is represented by a wooden cow and is celebrated with Shaman rituals, masked dances, plays, instruments, swords fights and ceremonies.
This is just one of the many spectacular performances
(I don't have any further information. Sorry. The information about this festival is limited, as I cannot speak Korean)

2013 Korea Peace Camp for Youth
The video made for us by ROK MPVA on our experiences during the 2013 Peace Camp for Youth in South Korea. This Peace Camp was created by the South Korean government to bring the descendants of the Korean War Veterans together to learn about the war and Korean culture, as well as using our common descendant background to create world peace :)
History of South Korea
The history of South Korea formally begins with its establishment on 15 August 1948, although Syngman Rhee had officially declared independence two days prior.
In the aftermath of the Japanese occupation of Korea which ended with Japan's defeat in World War II in 1945, Korea was divided at the 38th parallel north in accordance with a United Nations arrangement, to be administered by the Soviet Union in the north and the United States in the south. The Soviets and Americans were unable to agree on the implementation of Joint Trusteeship over Korea. This led in 1948 to the establishment of two separate governments, each claiming to be the legitimate government of all of Korea. Eventually, following the Korean War, the two separate governments stabilized into the existing political entities of North and South Korea.
