Park Chung-hee and the era of developmental dictatorship

Description
Book Introduction
A history textbook for the general public, not just history majors.
The 20th century was the most turbulent period in Korean history.
After the opening of the country, we experienced Japanese oppression, and after liberation, we faced the national tragedy of the Korean War.
The colonial experience and the devastation of war again gave rise to a dark age of dictatorship, but the progress toward democracy was never thwarted.
Now, in the dynamic drama of Korean history spanning 100 years, we honestly record the footsteps of Koreans who have walked boldly, believing only in the power of freedom and truth.

Into the book
Above all, the core problem of economic development was the labor problem.
In the early stages of industrialization, labor-intensive industries were fostered based on 'low wages and long hours' for workers.
Therefore, workers were called industrial mobilities or industrial patriots, and they were content with that identity while adapting to the new industrial reality.
However, starting in the early 1970s, this situation began to change.
An incident occurred that brought about a dramatic change in the labor situation.
On November 13, 1970, Jeon Tae-il committed self-immolation.
Jeon Tae-il suddenly set himself on fire, shouting out such 'ordinary demands'.
His diary contains the following: "Obey the Labor Standards Act! We are not machines! Let us rest on Sundays! Don't overwork workers!"
He also left a simple request in his petition to the president: “I want to extend the monthly holiday by two days so that we can rest every Sunday.”
The shock that Jeon Tae-il's death had on Korean society was enormous.
Jeon Tae-il's lament, "I wish I had a college friend," awakened the consciences of countless intellectuals, religious figures, and college students.
His death brought the labor issue to the forefront of public opinion.
On November 16, about 100 law students from Seoul National University announced that they would take possession of Jeon Tae-il's body and hold a student funeral.
About 400 students from Seoul National University also began an indefinite hunger strike.
On November 22, about 40 college students from Saemunan Church held a fasting prayer meeting to repent and denounce social issues.
With Jeon Tae-il's self-immolation, Christianity became interested in industrial issues and began to engage in industrial missions, and the labor movement also began to spread without restraint, like a wildfire in a field.
Korean society began to pay attention to labor issues only because of Jeon Tae-il, and furthermore, it began to recognize labor issues as unavoidable social and political issues.
