Yi Han-yŏl, a college student, was shot with a tear gas canister during the protest in front of Yonsei University on June 9, 1987. Yi Han-yŏl Kinyŏm Saŏphoe.
After Chun Doo-hwan assumed the presidency of the Fifth Republic, protests against military rule continued unabated on a national scale. In particular, incidents such as the death of Pak Chong-ch'ŏl, a Seoul National University student activist who died due to torture during interrogation and the death of Yi Han-yŏl, a Yonsei University student struck by a tear gas canister during the June 10 protest, served as catalysts for simultaneous protests erupting over 100 times daily across the country. Amid the unprecedented nationwide protests, Roh Tae-woo, Chun's successor, announced a reform proposal, leading to the establishment of a direct presidential election system.
On December 16, 1987, the presidential election was held according to the new constitution, marking the inauguration of the Sixth Republic. The June Uprising stands as a pivotal moment in the history of the Minjung movement. It not only advanced the democratization of Korea but also catalyzed substantial growth in various social movements, including the labor movement. The June Uprising is also known as the June Democratic Struggle and the June Democracy Movement.
