Young men carry an injured friend to safety during a crackdown in Gwangju, South Korea, in May 1980. (Katsuo Aoi) Stacks of recently discovered photo film show military brutality against pro-democracy protesters in southwest South Korea 41 years ago in what became known as the Gwangju Uprising. The footage was found by the daughter of the photographer, Katsuo Aoi, an Asahi Shimbun employee who died in 2017 at the age of 78. His coverage of the incident, in which an estimated 167 people were killed and 78 others went missing, came by chance. Aoi, who worked for the photography section of The Asahi Shimbun’s Osaka Head Office, and Tadaomi Saito, a reporter at the City News Section of the Osaka Head Office, were in South Korea to cover a feature story for the evening edition.
