Special Warfare Command to Revamp Its Website, a Hotbed of '5·18 Defamation Posts'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Republic of Korea Special Forces Veterans Association is completely overhauling its website to block disparagement, distortion, and indiscriminate malicious comments regarding the May 18 Democratic Movement.

According to the May 18 Democratic Movement Victims Association and others on the 21st, the Special Forces Veterans Association sent an official letter to the May 18-related organizations the day before, stating that they will comprehensively reorganize their website.

On the morning of the 19th, the 5·18 Victims Association and the Meritorious Persons Association held a 'Joint National Declaration Ceremony' with the Special Forces Comrades Association at the 5·18 Memorial Culture Center in Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

The Special Forces Veterans Association's website has long been a hotbed not only for posts distorting and disparaging the May 18 Movement but also for malicious comments.

The association attempted to delete such posts and comments, but due to their overwhelming number, they decided to overhaul the entire website.

Along with a full website overhaul and the establishment of a sincere new website, following the May 18 Democratic Cemetery visit on the 19th, they are also expected to actively pursue the concrete realization of the contents specified in the "National Declaration for Forgiveness and Reconciliation."
