Minjung

Minjung is a fancy word that means "people's struggle" in Korean.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game, but some of the other kids have made up unfair rules that only benefit themselves. You and your friends might feel angry and frustrated, but you still want to play and win. So, you decide to work together and come up with a plan to make the game fair and enjoyable for everyone. That's kind of like minjung.

In Korean history, the minjung movement was a group of regular people, like farmers and workers, who were tired of being treated unfairly by the government and rich people. They came together and used their power in numbers to fight for better living and working conditions. They protested, went on strike, and demanded change.

So, minjung is all about regular people working together to fight for their rights and make society a better place for everyone. It's like being a superhero by using your voice and actions to help others who may not have the same opportunities or privileges as you do.
