President Lee Jae Myung is overwhelmed as he addresses a ceremony to mark the 47th anniversary of the Busan-Masan Democratic Protests at City Hall in the southeastern port city of Busan on Oct. 16, 2026. The student-led protests, which occurred in Changwon, then called Masan, and the nearby port of Busan from Oct. 16-20, 1979, led to the demise of the autocratic regime of Park Chung-hee.
