Two Doors

Synopsis

In January 2009, the Yongsan Tragedy unfolded in Seoul, resulting in the deaths of five evictees and a police officer during a standoff over forced evictions. The evictees occupied a steel watchtower to assert their right to housing but were found dead after 25 hours. Following the incident, the Public Prosecutors’ Office accused them of carrying firebombs, while public criticism focused on the police's excessive use of force. The aftermath saw survivors facing trial, with no investigations into the officials involved.
