비집다 to split open, to introduce oneself.“… 불가 세력” the impossible power of the song?.

박제화된 채 흐릿해지다 – I think it means that the events at Kwangju have since then be fixed (박제화 – taxidermized) into the blurred term of “5-18 민주화운동”.

지키려다 I think it’s an abbreviation for 지키려고 하다가, so “while trying to protect”.

임을 위한 행진곡 the title of a song played during the 기념식, see my earlier post on the subject.

This article (in German) gives an overview of Hinzpeter’s story.Ĭontrary to 군함도, where the entire story line is made up, almost everything in 택시운전사 is based on real events, down to small details. He has been well-known in Korea for this and was even buried in Kwangju when he died in 2016. He was one of the few foreign journalists to make the world aware of the cruelties of the government soldiers in Kwangju. Hinzpeter put many of the events on film and smuggled them out of the country.
