Here is my article on today’s events.

Thousands of Jeju islanders endured the wind, rain and fog on Wednesday to come together to collectively mourn the deaths of their loved ones during a memorial ceremony in Jeju City.

03/04/2024

Today, April 3, Jeju mourns the deaths of some 30,000 islanders who were killed by South Korean forces executing a brutal campaign to squash a communist uprising.

Though the majority of the deaths occurred during the winter of 1948-49, the Jeju 4.3 massacre lasted from 1947 to 1954, enveloping the Korean War.

Every year on April 3, thousands of Jeju residents converge on the Jeju 4.3 Peace Park to collectively mourn the deaths of their loved ones, who were killed nearly eight decades ago.

Darryl Coote is a journalist, writer, husband and father who has called Jeju Island home for the better part of the last 15 years.

Attracted to its mythology, Darryl first moved to Jeju in 2008, and shortly after landed a job at the since-shuttered Jeju Weekly, kick starting his journalism career.

It was while working at the magazine that Darryl first learned of the Jeju Massacre, a topic that has since become his beat, and which prompted him to write about other massacres and human rights tragedies, from the executions of political prisoners in Iran in 1988 to the ongoing persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia.

He has worked on several English-language books produced by the provincial government on the Jeju Massacre as well as the official Jeju 4.3 website. And he is currently working on a long-form nonfiction piece centered on victims of the atrocity.

When not working as a writer and reporter, Darryl enjoys being a member of the Jeju Eagles, the only adult hockey team on the island, playing video games, reading, raising his wee daughter, spending time with his wonderful wife and drinking unhealthy quantities of coffee.

He is honored to be based in Jungmun, the traditional home of his in-laws, whose family has lived in the southern village for more than 400 years. And he can be frequently seen walking his toy poodle through its streets.

If you see him, fear not his morose exterior and say “hi.”

Alexis Joy is an event planner, teacher, lover of sunsets and, good food.

Alexis was interviewing for jobs in coastal towns across Korea when she stumbled across a picture of Seongsan Ilchulbong. Ten minutes of googling later, she made the decision to search for jobs solely on Jeju. 13 years and not one regret later, Alexis now calls Jeju her home away from home.

Over the years Lexi has worked with the Jeju government on many different festivals and events with the goal of helping foreigners feel more involved with projects on the island. She has hosted the Expat Music Festival for seven years now as well as many other events to encourage locals and foreigners to come together.

Both she and her podcast partner, Darryl Coote, have a strong love for and a connection to the island. The history of this island is so important to its future. They both feel honored and compelled to share the history and current events of the island.

NEWS: Thousands designated as Jeju 4.3 victims, bereaved family members.

The Jeju government continues to collect claims from those on the island who say their family was victimized during the Jeju massacre of 1947-54.

Of note is the inclusion this round of the people who were killed in an explosion outside the official timeline of the massacre, paving the way for further additions.

Hey, all.

As some of you may know, I am one half of the Me, You & Jeju podcast.

I see some of you have opinions about the recent launch and the island’s future as a launching pad.

If any of you wish to submit a short video or audio recording of your thoughts and send it to me, we will discuss it and include it in an upcoming episode.

Also, if you have questions, feel free to ask. I am in communication with people involved in the launches, and I can ask them for you.

Please just shoot me a DM if you would be interested.

Thanks!

Darryl
