"Brian in Jeollanam-do" blog.

[Brian]

Pardon the self-plug, but I have a blog that deals with Korean current events and culture, the English-teaching community, and happenings inside our province of Jeollanam-do.  On my side-bar I link to others active in the Korea blogosphere, including several writers and photographers in Jeollanam-do.

Wednesday, October 19th, marks the anniversary of the "Yŏsu Rebellion," written in English also as the "Yŏsu-Sunchŏn Incident" or the "Yŏsu-Sunchŏn Rebellion," one of several bloody exchanges in Jeollanam-do last century, and one whose background serves to foreshadow the violence of the Korean War two years later. The 여순반란사건 was a crackdown against suspected communists in South Jeolla province, specifically the cities written now as Yeosu and Suncheon, that resulted in hundreds or thousands of deaths, depending on the source . . .
