In Myanmar, where protests against the military government that took power through a coup d’état continues, it is known that local Koreans are also in danger.
On the 15th, Professor Cheon Ki-hong of Myanmar, King Sejong Institute of Yangon University appeared on TBS Radio’Kim Eo-Jun’s News Factory’ and said, “The Hlaying Taya area is a place where many Korean residents operate factories.” He warned that it would fire on fire, and there was a real fire,” he told the local atmosphere. The Hlayingthaya region is an industrial zone in Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar. The military has proclaimed martial law in the area, virtually blinding mass killings.
The reason that the locals foretold arson at the Chinese factory is due to their great resentment towards China, which showed a military-led attitude. In fact, there was an arson at a Chinese factory in Hlayingtaya in Yangon, and it is said that Chinese people were also injured in the process.
When fires that seem to be arson broke out in factories owned by Chinese people, the Korean people were mistaken for factories operated by Chinese people, so they were putting on Taegeukgi in case of damage.
Professor Chun said, “I was worried that damage would occur overnight, so I got a lot of inquiries about what to do, and I suggested that I raise the Taegeukgi and mark the wall with’Korea Factory’.” “If possible, we are asking ourselves to make a joint response.”
Prof. Chun said about the friendly reaction of Myanmar to Korea. He explained, “(The news that our country has decided to impose sanctions on its own) is known so much that citizens are encouraged.”
He added, “It seems that there will be a need for a joint response at the level of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
“Fifty deaths in one day for 14 days”

Professor Chun said, “According to the local media, the number of deaths continued to increase yesterday, and nearly 50 people died until late at night,” he stressed. “The situation is very bad.”
This is the highest number of daily deaths since the start of the disobedience movement for unarmed citizens following the outbreak of the military coup on the 1st. According to Reuters, on the 14th (local time), at least 38 people were killed by military police in one day. Professor Chun said that there were more than 50 casualties.
Professor Chun said, “The most fatalities were seen during this protest during the weekend.” It was announced that the information was announced,” he explained.
He added, “The Internet was cut off after 1 am, and the situation has not been grasped at all since then.”
