The 6월 민주항쟁 (June Democratic Uprising) was a significant pro-democracy movement in South Korea that took place in June 1987. Citizens protested against the authoritarian regime of President Chun Doo-hwan, demanding democratic reforms and fair elections. The movement was sparked by the death of a student activist, which galvanized public outrage and led to widespread demonstrations. The protests culminated in a series of large-scale rallies, with millions participating across the country. The pressure from the public ultimately forced the government to agree to democratic reforms, paving the way for the establishment of a more democratic political system in South Korea.
