It was a graduate student who did research in Vietnam and came
across the stories and wrote them for Mal magazine, published
Hangyorae, in the late 1990s. Her stories literally created a storm
with ROK vets trashing their offices and much and wringing anguish
from the public and the government. Soon thereafter a Vet group,
those who atoned for the atrocities, erected a memorial in VN. This
is part of the ruptured history (Sheila Jager and Rana Mitter's
term) of post Cold War Asia as the reality of ROK atrocities had
been out since the early 1970s but "hidden" in Korea until the post
Cold War.<br>

I remember that a couple of years ago, there was a Korean student
who
wrote about the atrocities Korean soldiers committed and was
harshly
criticized by the military, Does anyone remember more details
about
that?<br>

There is an interesting documentary, "Black Sergeant Kim
returning<br>
from Vietnam"(no.77, 2004) in "I can say now (Ijeneun Malhalsu
Itda)"<br>
series, produced by MBC in South Korea, for which I was an
adviser.<br>
According to interviews in the documentary, most of the Korean<br>
soldiers in Vietnam were not volunteers, but were forcefully
mobilized<br>
in combat units. Of course, there were volunteers in Korean
combat<br>
divisions in Vietnam. I do not have any statistics,
unfortunately.<br>
