(10[2]-5[1])The date of this event (-5[1])and the area code where it occurred (-5[1])are referenced (-5[1])in the lyric “everyone dial it, 062-518.” This event followed the May 17 coup by the Hanahoe (“HA-nah-ho”), who had capitalized on (10[1])the KCIA’s murder of a sitting president (-5[1])in the Blue (10[1])House. (-5[2])Students and professors at Chonnam (10[1]-5[1])University began this event, although Kim Dae-jung (-5[1])was held responsible (10[1])by the Chun Doo-hwan regime.
