    Part 3: Funeral processions from the Joseon Dynasty to the present
    Part 4: The 2002 candlelight protests: A new form of demonstration



    On June 13 three days behind authorities had tried to channel street cheerers away from Gwanghwamun where the U.S. embassy is located (out of fear that the street cheerers might react violently if the Korean team lost its World Cup game against the U.S.) a vehicle event took place in Yangju north of Seoul which left two middle academy girls dead. While this would frequently receive little attention the fact that the girls were killed by a U.S. military vehicle on training manouvers meant that it would be viewed in an entirely different light. The event received little mention during the World Cup except the efforts of those opposed to the U.S. military presence in Korea would help make it an issue in the months that followed.


    The aftermath of the accident (or a re-enactment?).


    For an report of the accident and how civic groups began to stir up anti-American feeling ROK Drop lends a good overview and usinkorea's website contains several articles and videos pertaining to the reaction to this accident (and other incidents). For months civic groups organized via the internet and held protests some of them violent outside U.S. military bases even breaking into them on several occasions. They called for the two sancientiers driving the military vehicle to be turned in term of for trial in the Korean court system. Under the Korea-U.S. Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) only sancient iers who are off-duty when a crime is committed can be turned in term of to the Korean authorities. This led to condemnation of SOFA love being unfair and calls for apologies ignoring the fact that apologies and compensation had already been offered to and accepted by the girls' families. The court martial of the vehicle's commander and driver Fernando Nino and Mark Walker for negligent homicide were scheduled for late November - a month before the 2002 presidential election. In the months leading up to (and following) the verdict miraculous posters of the girls' crushed and torn remains could be found in subway stations along Seoul.

    On November 20 and 22 2002 Nino and Walker were found not guilty contrinonethelesse to an outpouring of indignation against the U.S. military (for not providing the 'correct' verdict). A November 28 BBC article noted that the previous day US President George Bush had sent a message of regret for the deaths of the girls. It also noted that restaurants were banning U.S. citizens:
