Korean Cultural Center Indonesia held a photo exhibition of the struggle for democracy on June 10, Republic of South Korea

 

On June 9 to 15, 2021, the Korean Cultural Center Indonesia held an event, namely a photo exhibition of the struggle for democracy on June 10, 1987, at Lotte Shopping Avenue, Jakarta, in this event several photos of the sequence of events or timelines of the struggle for democracy were displayed on June 10, the Republic of South Korea, in the exhibition event. This time, the director of the Korean cultural center Indonesia came and saw this exhibition in person.

In this photo exhibition we are provided with information about the struggle for democracy on June 10 in South Korea, the democratic movement in South Korea that resulted in mass protests from June 10 to June 29, 1987. The demonstrations forced the incumbent government to hold elections and instituted other democratic reforms that led to the formation of the Sixth Republic, the current government of South Korea.

On June 10, the military regime of President Chun Doo-hwan announced his choice of Roh Tae-woo as the next president. The public appointment of Chun's successor is seen as a final affront to the pending and pending process to revise South Korea's constitution to allow direct election of the President. Although pressure on the regime, in the form of demonstrations by students and other groups, had been going on for some time, the announcement eventually sparked massive and effective protests.

Unwilling to resort to violence prior to the 1988 Olympics, and (correctly) believing that Roh could win competitive elections in any case because of divisions within the opposition, Chun and Roh agreed to the main demands of direct presidential elections and restoration of civil liberties. Although Roh was elected president in December with a bare plurality, the consolidation of South Korea's democracy is fully underway.

  Soon South Korea will enter spring. Usually spring starts from late March to early May. Because the temperature is not too cold but also not too hot, South Korean people usually like to eat foods that can maintain their health stamina, especially those that come from marine wealth. One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu.
