00:07:00,008 --> 00:07:03,544 right as he openly encouraged police forces to fire on innocent people in Masan. 113 00:07:15,605 --> 00:07:16,936 Mr. President! 114 00:07:21,817 --> 00:07:23,943 The family of Lee Gi Bong... 115 00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:26,421 committed suicide. 116 00:07:28,876 --> 00:07:30,747 Suicide?! 117 00:07:31,036 --> 00:07:32,544 Yes, Mr. President. 118 00:07:34,161 --> 00:07:39,236 Are you telling me they're all dead? 119 00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:40,992 Yes, Mr. President. 120 00:07:42,936 --> 00:07:46,315 Assembly Speaker Lee Gi Bong, Madam Park Maria, 121 00:07:46,666 --> 00:07:48,256 Gang Seok... 122 00:07:48,510 --> 00:07:51,040 and even little Gang Wook. 123 00:07:55,262 --> 00:07:56,880 Mr. President! 124 00:08:04,395 --> 00:08:06,379 Things had completely changed. 125 00:08:06,144 --> 00:08:12,133 {\a6}~ Lee Man Seop ~ (DongA Ilbo reporter at the time) 126 00:08:06,530 --> 00:08:14,114 So Lee Gi Bong's wife Park Maria tried to help all the family... 127 00:08:14,368 --> 00:08:26,098 find refuge through an army officer who had been close to them, 128 00:08:26,209 --> 00:08:32,360 but he just refused to help and sent them back. 129 00:08:33,461 --> 00:08:36,696 In the end, his older son Gang Seok, 130 00:08:37,044 --> 00:08:42,890 for the sake of his parents, 131 00:08:43,003 --> 00:08:50,139 said that more than enduring that kind of hellish humiliation in life, 132 00:08:46,518 --> 00:08:55,932 {\a6}~ Lee Gi Bong Family Suicide ~ 133 00:08:50,327 --> 00:08:54,014 suicide was a better option. 134 00:08:54,174 --> 00:09:00,791 So people still say that Gang Seok shot them. 135 00:09:01,101 --> 00:09:04,479 By nine o'clock that evening, 136 00:09:02,072 --> 00:09:09,688 {\a6}~ Seo Jung Seok ~ (Seonggeungwan History professor) 137 00:09:04,573 --> 00:09:12,256 over a hundred thousand people gathered in Gwanghwamun. 138 00:09:12,632 --> 00:09:17,174 At that point, it was inevitable for President Lee Seung Man. 139 00:09:17,278 --> 00:09:19,950 So a little after ten o'clock, 140 00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:31,967 he took a few officials with him and announced his intention of stepping down. 141 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,604 Finally, a decade-plus of dictatorship had ended, people rejoiced. 142 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:40,926 They thought that it was the start of democracy for Korea. 143 00:09:41,049 --> 00:09:43,465 That is how the atmosphere changed. 144 00:09:43,606 --> 00:09:49,324 What President Lee ended up announcing was a so-called "conditional resignation." 145 00:09:49,446 --> 00:09:57,535 That is, "if people really want, I will step down." 146 00:09:57,676 --> 00:10:05,238 As Ambassador McConaughy said that such proclamation... 147 00:10:05,370 --> 00:10:09,502 was nothing but a stop-gap measure, and that he needed to effectively step down, 148 00:10:06,884 --> 00:10:11,393 {\a6}~ Lee Wan Beom ~ (Academy of Korean Studies professor) 149 00:10:09,682 --> 00:10:13,190 that moved Lee to resign for real, this time. 150 00:10:13,331 --> 00:10:15,475 And as even President Eisenhower announced... 151 00:10:15,597 --> 00:10:19,365 that he would no longer support the Lee regime, 152 00:10:19,469 --> 00:10:23,804 it pretty much isolated him both when it came to the US, 153 00:10:23,936 --> 00:10:27,159 but also the military. 154 00:10:27,328 --> 00:10:31,636 His final decision was that of fleeing overseas, 155 00:10:28,852 --> 00:10:32,980 {\a6}~ Lee Yi Hwa (historian) ~ 156 00:10:31,748 --> 00:10:36,460 but it wasn't like he had too many places he could resort to, 157 00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:41,881 which is why all this happened in complete secrecy. 158 00:10:42,410 --> 00:10:44,947 At first, we had no idea, 159 00:10:45,662 --> 00:10:56,076 and I'm sure he had all this prepared beforehand just in case, 160 00:10:56,251 --> 00:11:03,883 since he had a jet waiting for him in Yeouido. 161 00:11:04,043 --> 00:11:10,552 The photos were only released to the press once the two had left. 162 00:11:17,033 --> 00:11:20,770 Many of the fallen patriots of the revolution, 163 00:11:21,024 --> 00:11:25,228 along with the 185 who lost their lives on April 19, are resting here. 164 00:11:25,755 --> 00:11:30,908 These youngsters in the prime of their lives sacrificed their all... 165 00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:33,124 to resist against the Lee Seung Man dictatorship, 166 00:11:33,239 --> 00:11:34,998 and our world changed thanks to their efforts. 167 00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:41,614 In the past, there were popular insurrections protesting against feudalism, 168 00:11:41,714 --> 00:11:44,135 but they never managed to succeed even once. 169 00:11:44,906 --> 00:11:46,784 In the twilight of the Joseon dynasty, 170 00:11:46,956 --> 00:11:50,398 the massive Donghak Peasant Rebellion took place, 171 00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:55,952 but eventually they were defeated by the Japanese Imperial Troops. 172 00:11:57,184 --> 00:12:01,304 April 19 was the very first rebellion made by powerless people, 173 00:12:01,830 --> 00:12:05,870 but which actually managed to succeed. 174 00:12:07,243 --> 00:12:12,656 However, poet Kim Su Young's views on the matter were different. 175 00:12:14,616 --> 00:12:19,465 "May the words of a poet who envied the majestic flight..." 176 00:12:14,616 --> 00:12:19,465 {\a6}~ From Kim Su Young's "Blue Sky" ~ 177 00:12:19,635 --> 00:12:22,716 "Of a skylark dominating the blue sky be forever changed." 178 00:12:23,976 --> 00:12:26,882 "If you soared and struggled in the clouds that hid our freedom," 179 00:12:26,929 --> 00:12:28,030 "You would know," 180 00:12:28,613 --> 00:12:32,929 "What the skylark sees, and chirps about." 181 00:12:33,977 --> 00:12:35,995 "Why does that elusive lady known as freedom..." 182 00:12:36,061 --> 00:12:38,412 "Wear garments stained in blood?" 183 00:12:39,070 --> 00:12:42,916 "Why do revolutions come with such solitude?" 184 00:12:48,037 --> 00:12:52,386 We will now turn back time, 185 00:12:53,148 --> 00:12:57,769 and observe Kim Su Young's behavior during April 19. 186 00:13:06,178 --> 00:13:07,062 Jun. 187 00:13:07,165 --> 00:13:08,669 Where is your mother? 188
