Forgiveness and reconciliation

Hwang Il-bong, head of an organization of civilians injured during the Gwangju Uprising, touches a tombstone at a cemetery in Seoul on Jan. 17, 2023, for the special forces and police officers killed by civic demonstrators during the 1980 pro-democracy uprising. This marked the first time the bereaved families visited the cemetery to seek forgiveness and reconciliation. (Yonhap)
