this is one photo of the Bodo League massacre, massive atrocities and war crimes committed by the Syngman Rhee regime backed by the US military. yes, the US military was involved in the execution of over 200,000 to 1.2 million innocent Korean civilians often peasants and farmers including women and children because they were falsely labeled “commies.”
please educate yourself and stop spreading misinformation and propaganda.

This particular photograph has been sourced to massacres at Daejeon Prison, about two hours south of Seoul. The problem is, the Communist left and nationalist right were in control of the prison at different times during the war and they both committed massacres of prisoners. The Syngman Rhee regime did indeed murder around 5,000 prisoners between until mid-July of 1950 when they lost Daejeon to North Korea. The victims of these mass killings included the Bodo League prisoners, Jeju Islanders imprisoned during the post-independence massacres there, and members of the South Joson Labor Party.
After the South Korean forces were driven from Daejeon in a rout, the North Korean regime and their collaborators took over the prison and were in control of it from July 20 to September 29. They in turn filled up the prison with nationalists, police, and Korean and American POWs. When the North Koreans were in turn forced from the city, they massacred 3119 prisoners before they left.
The OP is right about the photograph in question and it is likely a photo of the massacre by North Korean Communists. Multiple Korean sources including a newspaper website agree with OP (link). Rhee’s nationalists transported their prisoners to the wilds where they buried them in secret, while the North Koreans, likely in a hurry due to the need to retreat, buried many of their victims in the prison fields. This photo looks more consistent with the latter event.
There’s plenty of photographic evidence of the right wing’s massacres of the prisoners at Daejeon, of course. Here’s a picture of one such mass shooting in progress:
There’s a lot more, of prisoners being transported in trucks, kneeling on the ground while awaiting their deaths, bodies in ditches etc. There’s a photo gallery of one major mass grave from this event being excavated in 2015 (link, see photo gallery).
So why don’t we accept both the left wing and right wing were evil murdering bastards and call it a day? The OP is right about the photo, and the nationalists as well as communists murdered civilians and prisoners en masse.
Larry, a Korean scent evidence canine with six years of experience, died of a snakebite while searching for a missing person. According to Daegu police the male German Shepherd was searching for a 50-year-old missing man in the hills on July 23, 2018 when he was bitten on the back of the left hind foot by a poisonous snake. Larry was taken to a veterinarian’s office at 11:20 am. However, after suffering severe pain through the night, he passed in the early morning hours of the next day.
Larry was first posted with the Daegu police in August of 2012 when he was one and a half years of age. In the six years since he worked on 39 violent crime cases and 171 missing persons cases, where he distinguished himself with his service record.
In May of 2017, in particular, Larry was responsible for discovering the buried remains of a murdered 43-year-old woman. She might never have been found otherwise in her place of burial 30m off the hiking trail, as her husband, who was a prime suspect, had taken his own life after calling her in as a missing person.
In consideration of Larry’s contributions and service, the Daegu police cremated him in a funeral home specializing in companion animals and gave his ashes an arboreal burial. The canine handlers who had loved him were also in attendance at the solemn ceremony.
Officer Ahn Seong-heon, 33, who worked as Larry’s handler, said of the death: “Larry did nothing but good in his life before he passed from a truly unfortunate accident. I hope he rests easy now in a better place.”
To honor Larry, Daegu police will have a bronze plaque with his picture
and achievements hung at the entrance to the Crime Scenes Investigation
unit. Larry’s death, which came at only half a German Shepherd’s life expectancy, marks the first fatality among the 16 scent evidence canines placed in 2012 at local police precincts across Korea.

광복절 (gwangbokjeol) quite literally means “restoration of light day”.
august 15, 1945 was when both koreas were free from japanese colonial rule. even if you do not celebrate this day, please spend a little time at least reading about our history and theeffort it took to become independent from japanese rule
to koreans: appreciate your history! never forget about the struggles our country overcame and the immense effort that was put into achieving our liberation. we would not have our cultural identity today if not for our ancestors who relentlessly fought against the cultural genocide being committed against us. be proud of being korean, no matter how disconnected you feel from your culture. the fact that you are even here means so much.happy independence day!
1.37% Black. TBH I didn’t think it would be that low.
Also, they note that the ship is popular in Asian countries, meaning that some percentage of the Asian fans are not “minorities.”
But remember, “minority” doesn’t equal POC. It includes religious minorities, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, and, sometimes, women. White women benefit the most from Affirmative Action, after all.
Can confirm that it’s popular in Asia, Korean Twitter is overrun with these demons.
Black twitter hates Reylow
I’m still ROTFL at the 1.37% number 😂 I’d have guessed more like 5%, personally.
In response to @luffykun3695 yeah, the dynamics of reylow are similar to what shows up in a lot of Korean media. It’s one of the reasons I dislike K-Dramas.
