The Jeju Anti-Guerilla Campaign The Red Hunt 1948 - 1950

The Red Hunt, 1948-1950

The Jeju Anti-Guerilla Campaign, generally known in Korea as the 'Red Hunt', or the '4กค3 Incident', was a local tragedy that took place between 1948 to 1950. The backgrounds and the situations surrounding the Hunt was complex, but in short, it was a conflict between dispatched inland rightist troops and leftist mobs in the mountains, and the sacrifice of innocent Jeju people amidst this conflict. As a result of the ruthless campaign and the conflict between troops and mobs, over 30 thousand are estimated to have been killed, and half of the Island's villages destroyed.
