South Korean protest music or Minjung-Gayo (Hangul: 민중가요; Hanja: 民衆歌謠) is a form of modern protest singing culture in South Korea.[1] It has been used as a musical means of supporting the Korean pro-democracy movement. It is mainly enjoyed by people who were critical of mainstream song culture during the democratization movement. The term "minjung-gayo" was coined in the mid-1980s when protest movements were rapidly growing in Korea, and to differentiate the minjung-gayo from popular songs.[2] The minjung-gayo specifically includes the anti-Japanese songs from the Japanese colonial era, which continued until the early 1970s, and generally refers to the culture that began to mature in the late 1970s and which lasted until 1990.
