Controversial park project for late communist composer

Protestors from veterans affairs bodies scuffle with security personnel during a rally in front of City Hall in the southwestern city of Gwangju on Aug. 30, 2023, to voice their objection to the city government's project to build a park for Chinese revolutionary musician Jeong Yul-seong (1914-76). Jeong, born in Gwangju and naturalized in China in 1956, composed the military anthem for the People's Liberation Army of China and a marching song for the North Korean People's Army. (Yonhap)
