La-Résistance

There have been many demonstrations that occurred in Korean history, which often ended in violent suppression. This image depicts the confrontation between civic groups and the force of government.

“In the latter part of the Choson Dynasty, there were three remarkable cases in which middle-class people who could not endure the harsh life longer caused the rebellion against the government, even for a short period. Even in modern history, large and small demonstrations of citizens have occurred, which often ended in violent suppression. However, people were never defeated by the force but fight for their rights and freedom.”
