Hyungjae Concentration Camp
Hyungjae Concentration Camp ('형제복지원') was an internment camp run by InKwon Park under the auspices of the Chun Doo-hwan government in Busan, South Korea during the 1970s and the 1980s. During its operation, the camp held upwards of 4 thousand people. They were illegally rounded up off in their homes and the streets that included children, women, homeless, and even college students among others. The camp was known for some of the worst human rights abuses in the South Korea history, which were exposed in an Associated Press article[1] and CNN in 2016.[2][3] It was reported that over 531 people died in the 12 year span of its existence. It is assumed that more people died as no exact record was kept. Girls and women were raped, and men were subject to hard labor. According to MBC, a South Korean media outlet, InKwon Park was able to amass a quite a big fortune while running the Hyungjae Concentration Camp.
