Mr. Chun Doo-hwan enjoys golf and luxury luncheons because he can't go to trial because of Alzheimer's. Although a long time has passed, the road to 5/18 fact finding is still so long and steep. SBS will review the current status of the 5/18 democratization movement and its challenges to solve for the 40th anniversary this year.

I'm Im Tae-woo.

I am located in Gwangju National Cemetery, where there are 5,18 victims.

At the corner of the cemetery is the missing grave of the missing person.

I have met my mother for 40 years here waiting for her son's news.

Eighty-year-old mother can't forget her son's last appearance after losing her fortune to sell garlic to Gwangju.

That day was May 18, 80.

[Chachogang / 5 · 18 Missing family: I think it's a soldier. Blue car. I came down from the blue car and dragged me. I was dragged unconditionally because I was young.]

Recently, 40 old remains were unearthed at the old Gwangju Prison, and Nomo has not let go of hope.

[Chachogang / 5 · 18 Missing Family: You'll have to bury your bones, and I'll tell you that I've gone and fulfill my son's grave, but I'll die because I can't.]

78 people were missing from the government.

This is not the only truth that needs to be revealed.

The truth is that the firing officer has to figure out the issues of helicopter shooting, civilian killings, burying grounds, and sexual assaults by martial law forces.

[Kim, Hee-Song / Professor, Chonnam National University's May 18 Research Institute: The truth is clear, because the state erased the records, Jeon Doo-hwan, who seized state power through May 18, and Roh Tae-woo's new military had taken power for 12 years. I could not help but to hide… .]

At the end of last year, the May 18 Findings Investigation Committee was formed at the end of the twist.

It has been one year and three months since the Special Findings Act was implemented.

The commission, which will operate for up to three years, has no compulsory investigation, but it is willing to request prosecution.

The truth of the day, which has been distorted and concealed for 40 years, is expected to be revealed this time.
