Rift over May 18 Movement
Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs Park Sung-choon, right, remains seating while some people stand to sing “Marching for the Forerunners” during a ceremony to mark the 34th anniversary of the May 18 Democracy Movement at the National Cemetery in Gwanju, Sunday. The ministry has refused to officially adopt the song, which honors the decreased democracy fighters, prompting the believed family members to boycott the ceremony. / Yonhap
