North Korean army intervened in the May 18th Democratization Movement, an armed riot, and the very old testament has been revived recently. In fact, the SBS team prepared a series of reports until May 18th, as to why the testament was repeated, whether there was no way to stop it. First, let's look at the theory of North Korean intervention.

In addition, it is a 5/18 North Korean military intervention.

[Youtube video: Isn't this really a North Korean intervention? How do college students know the arsenal? The location of the arsenal ... .] These are

videos that have recently been uploaded to YouTube.

[YouTube video: Spy educators, aren't you trying to release all of these kids in Gwangju to create confusion?]

This video has a total of 600,000 views.

There is an official document written at the time of May 18.

The Army's intelligence staff reports that the North Korean military trend is normal.

It was quoted in Chun Doo-hwan's ruling.

There is also a secret document from the US CIA that there was no unusual trend in the North Korean military.


However, this is not an important fact for those who spread will.

"The situation in Gwangju is a riot caused by North Korean special forces." In August 2002, the advertisement was published by Man Ji-won in a daily newspaper.

Academic refutation and testimony of victims continued to appear, but the future testament spread further as the right-wing daily best appeared.

The number of special forces is 600.

Even Chun Doo-hwan denied this in a media interview.

[Chun said: What is 600 people?]

[Jeong Ho-yong / time benefits Commander: gonna came to 600 people in the north.]

[Chun said: When I go?]

[Jeong Ho-yong / time benefits Commander: as when the May 18 Gwangju]

[Mr. Chun : okay? I'm hearing it for the first time today.]

The fact check of the press was also in full swing, but the spread of YouTube spread the word of the word faster.

Meanwhile, Chun Doo-hwan's attitude also changes.

[Chun Doo-hwan's memo, Vol. 1, p. 535: It is not necessary to say that North Korea would not have seen with arms folded during the May 18th Gwangju crisis.]

Here, even the current member of parliament participated.

[Lee Jong-myeong / Future South Korean Party Member: I want you to join us so that it can be revealed whether or not North Korea is involved.]

Our fact is that the team made a 5/18 fact check series two years ago, but the wills that were fact checked at that time are being reproduced again.

In an era of believing only what you want to believe, it seems that you need an institutional mechanism beyond midnight.
