South Korea's killing fields

The transcript discusses the discovery of mass graves in South Korea, where thousands of civilians were executed during the authoritarian rule following the Korean War. Lee Taejun highlights the grim history, and the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission aims to address these past atrocities. However, unlike South Africa's model, the commission lacks prosecutorial power. Victims' families continue to face persecution, and many graves remain undiscovered due to urban development. The narrative underscores the need for justice and reconciliation to move forward as a nation.
