A few days later, the soldiers gave an ultimatum to the civilian army at 2 a.m. on May 27. A few hours later, the airborne troops charged to the provincial office and recorded that they had come down from the top of the building to "clean up people." Anderson had to enter the provincial office with two other foreign journalists and count the bodies again. The martial law army lied again this time, saying, "A soldier and an insurrectionist, two people died." There were 17 bodies in the front yard of the provincial office alone.
Here was the body of a young man who shouted at a press conference the day before, "Today we will be defeated, but tomorrow's history will make us victors." He was Yoon Sang-won, a media officer for the civilian army. He said to Anderson, who watched all these situations for nine days in Gwangju, that the tragedy in Gwangju remained a deep trauma.
Perhaps because of this, he couldn't throw away the article telex he sent, so he kept it in the attic for nearly 15 years and donated it to a Korean journalist who came to see him.
At that time, press control and communication were blocked
Responsible journalists who were telling the reality.
In retrospect, our society today is said to be an advanced country,
It's so hard to find reporters like this.
It's very unfortunate.
I hope that the Korean media will be more responsible and fulfill its calling as a media.
