Paichai Baseball Team Apologizes for May 18 Mockery in Gwangju

Paichai High School's baseball team faced backlash for chants during a June 29 game that many saw as mocking Gwangju's May 18 Democratic Uprising. An 80-member delegation—players, staff, teachers, and parents—will visit Gwangju next week to apologize formally and participate in a reconciliation program. The school ultimately forfeited the game following the controversy.
