Prologue November 28th, 1986
Somewhere in Busan, Korea The Secret Task Force had been plotting for months & over the last three years in figuring out how to take down authoritarian Korean President Chun Doo-hwan, who took power in a military coup d'etat against then-President Choi Kyu-hah on December 12th, 1979 & eventually ascended to the Presidency on September 1st, 1980 following the bloody May 18th, 1980 Incident in Gwangju.
Despite a botched assassination attempt on October 9th, 1983 in Rangoon, Burma where Chun's motorcade was luckily stuck in traffic; the bombing blast resulted in the deaths of several key figures in Chun's administration including several dignitaries. The Secret Task Force was undeterred & focused on getting rid of Chun one way or another.
Now depending on whom you ask on where they were when the breaking news alerts broke out on December 9th, 1986, nobody tried to figure out what was the motive of the Secret Task Force (who operated in skillful secretive ways), who justified their heinous actions by "Protecting the Republic" through violent means in putting outsiders in their place by any means necessary. What would happen next would result in huge ramifications for the Republic of Korea & the entire world.
