No accurate understanding of contemporary South Korean economy, society, laws, social psychology, and ideologies is possible without a full understanding of the Korean War itself. Among several aspects of the Korean War, the state violence and mass killings that occurred before and during the war may be the most unknown and sensitive chapter. The very occurrences or the way how South Korean politics and society have systematically concealed or handled them may show the workings of contemporary South Korean politics and society. Through the prism of these sequences of incidents, we can understand the origin of South Korean society and more deeply.
