Quote from Minju party leader Park Chan-dae’s speech today, which referenced Han Kang’s Nobel Prize win:
“She asked, “Can the past help the present? Can the dead save the living?”
Experiencing the insurrection, I want to say “yes.” Because Gwangju 1980 protected us in December 2024.”

At the prosecution's joint investigation proposal:
Police: "If all three institutions participate, we have no reason to refuse."
CIO: "We plan to join discussions with them."
