Today's ceremony is limited to 99 people to prevent the spread of Corona 19, so only 5·18 democratic merit, bereaved families, and government personnel will attend.
At the ceremony, we will deliver the message of national integration through the nationalization and globalization of the May 18 spirit.
Before and after the 5.18 ceremony, not only the ruling and opposition leaders, but also politicians running for the presidential election with less than 10 months left came to Gwangju.
Former Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun appealed to supporters saying that the spirit of the Gwangju Uprising was the prosecution and media reform.

In the opposition party, Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong and former Congressman Yoo Seung-min visited Gwangju one after another, and Ahn Chul-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, is scheduled to attend the official ceremony today.
In May, the May 18 Bereaved Family invited Rep. Jeong Un-cheon and Seong Il-jong, the powers of the people to help with the legislative activities of the group, for the first time as members of the Conservative Party.
