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.

Sejak awal abad 17, sebuah gerakan yang menganjurkan Silhak, atau pembelajaran mengenai hal-hal praktis, memperoleh momentum yang cukup banyak diantara cendekiawan-pejabat yang berpikiran liberal sebagai alat untuk membangun suatu bangsa yang modern. Mereka sangat menganjurkan dilaksanakannya perbaikan-perbaikan dalam bidang pertanian dan industri, sejalan dengan dilakukannya reformasi-reformasi menyeluruh dalam hal pembagian tanah. Namun bagaimanapun juga, para bangsawan dari pemerintahan yang konservatif belum siap untuk melakukan perubahan yang sedrastis itu. Pada paruh kedua masa pemerintahan Dinasti Joseon, administrasi pemerintahan dan kaum kelas atas ditandai oleh faksionalisme atau pembentukan golongan-golongan yang muncul berulang-ulang. Untuk membereskan situasi politik yang tidak diinginkan, Raja Yeongjo (1724-1776) akhirnya mengambil kebijakan yang tidak berpihak. Dengan demikian ia mampu memperkuat kembali kewenangan Raja dan menciptakan stabilitas po

Since the beginning of the 17th century, a movement that advocated Silhak, or learning about practical matters, gained considerable momentum among liberal-minded scholars as a tool for building a modern nation. They strongly advocate for improvements in agriculture and industry, in line with comprehensive reforms in terms of land distribution. However, the nobles of conservative governments were not ready to make such drastic changes. In the second half of the Joseon Dynasty, the administration of government and the upper classes was marked by factionalism or the formation of groups which appeared repeatedly. To clear up the unwanted political situation, King Yeongjo (1724-1776) finally adopted an impartial policy. Thus he was able to strengthen the authority of the King and create political stability. King Jeongjo (1776-1800) succeeded in maintaining impartial politics and established a royal library to store royal documents and records. Ian also initiated othe
