\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe initiative is meant to build public trust by addressing historical injustices while improving responses to current civil complaints.<\/p>\n\nJeollanam-do has launched the Unreported Victims Discovery Project to locate unreported victims of the Yeosu-Suncheon Incident and their families and to help restore their honor.<\/p>\n
Through three reporting periods so far, officials have registered 6,868 victims, roughly 30% of the estimated 25,000 victims.<\/p>\n
Officials point to severed family ties, the passage of time and social stigma as key reasons many victims never filed reports.<\/p>\n
In response, Jeollanam-do has shifted from a passive, application-based approach to proactively seeking out victims.<\/p>\n
The administration now conducts a comprehensive review of official records to identify victims and then traces surviving relatives to guide them through honor-restoration procedures.<\/p>\n
Investigators are accelerating discoveries by combining research based on 1948 military trial records with a precise verification method. Gwangju\u2019s five district offices and Jeollanam-do\u2019s 22 cities and counties cooperate to check handwritten removals from family registries for matching surnames.<\/p>\n
So far, officials have confirmed about 80 previously unreported victims; the goal is to identify roughly 1,000 by year-end.<\/p>\n
Jeollanam-do is also strengthening its system for handling public grievances that affect residents’ daily lives.<\/p>\n
At a recent capacity-building workshop for officials responsible for grievance handling in Jeju, participants received practical training and shared case studies that can be applied immediately in the field.<\/p>\n
Sessions focused on communication techniques, resolving group complaints and strategies for dealing with abusive complainants. The program also included measures to reduce emotional labor.<\/p>\n
Although the two policies differ\u2014one aims to heal historical wounds and the other to reduce present-day inconveniences\u2014they share the same objective: improving residents’ quality of life.<\/p>\n
\\”Uncovering victims fulfills our historical responsibility, and strengthening complaint handling protects residents’ lives,\\” a Jeollanam-do official said. \\”We will improve both areas together to deliver government services that residents can feel and trust.\\”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
