And even the cow, the mad cow, is saying, exasperated : 'Aigo (untranslateable- maybe- Oh dear)- look, we've gone too far into the past.'. What happened in Korea in the '80s? The indelible image of tens of thousands of people gathered in Seoul to protest the US beef import and Lee Myung...

Korea Exposure and Education Program. Saturday, June 21, 2008. People's Committees in southern Korea 1945-47. Another little-mentioned aspect of Korea before and after division are the people's committees. That quickly formed all throughout Korea upon the end of World War II and Japan's defeat, from August 15, 1945. What were people's committees? But when the Japanese colonial administration left, they convinced US military commanders that the emergence of these political bodies was led by Communists....
