[On the Scene] A Decade of the April 16 Movement, What Did It Change? / Park Raegun
The Quarterly Changbi 203, Spring 2024
Abstract
We offer an article by Park Raegun, a human rights activist who has worked tirelessly with the April 16 Movement. The past decade has been a period when families of Sewol Ferry Disaster victims have been reborn as subjects in a movement, rather than remaining as victims, and a time when they have established an important milestone by reminding us of the importance of remembering. It also leaves us with a chill arising from sadness about the fact that the truth of the disaster has not been discovered even under the administration claiming to be the “Candlelight Government.”
