The Ministry of Veterans Affairs in South Korea announced it would reassess the veteran status of Colonel Park Jin-kyung, who led the violent suppression during the Jeju 4·3 uprising from 1948 to 1949. This decision was met with approval by the Jeju 4·3 Memorial Committee, which released a statement acknowledging that this step likely indicates the initiation of a process to revoke Park's veteran status. They emphasized that while the decision is late, it represents a minimal administrative act of accountability from the government, and it should ensure that truths regarding the Jeju 4·3 events are no longer distorted or neglected.
