Haebomyeon Gwangam-ri, Hampyeong, Cheonnam is the setting and burial grounds of causalities from the warring factions that took place during the 6.25 war, particularly on February 20, 1951(Luna New Year full moon) when the armed forces sought to suppress partisans and sympathizer with the refugees of operations as if they were associated with an even. According to the words of one military record, the armed forces military actions around Bulgapsan totaled more than any other battle with about 350 operations; and 1005 were killed during the operations, a historical record. However, public interest groups have argued and filed for further investigation into the civilian casualties, steadily focusing on families and civic groups and raising the need to identify the actual significance and substance of the case. Conducted in 2009, the effort to excavate the remains of the civilian of Hampyeong Bulgapsan area was carried out under the campaign “Civilian victims of the postwar Korea after war-related civilian victim group”. Excavation at Bulgapsan Gwangam-ri area home village (locality 1), the interviewees stated that fewer than the number of civilians appear to be victimized. From all the 159 remains, 29 were female and 35 people under 19 years of age. While more than 1,000 civilians were said to be slaughtered at Bulgapsan, the families claim it was mostly at the expense of innocent civilians. Anthropological survey of deposits in the region shows remains of large number of women and children, suggesting the operation conducted was similar to military combat. Unlike the civilian victims of complementarity was found. Therefore, the military report said the battle of public funds called for complementary information, etc. Further action should be taken accordingly if this evidence need to be corrected or deleted, and the country's public apology is necessary.
