May 18 was the 28th anniversary of the Kwangju Massacre/Uprising (now known officially in South Korea as the Kwangju Democratization Movement), which played a pivotal role and strong influence in South Korea's democratization process. See bibliography of recent essays on the topic.
A feature-length movie titled "May 18" (Hwaryeohan hyuga) was released last year and became one of the most watched films in South Korean history.
