The 19th session of the Korean Language Promotion Committee concluded on March 24, voting unanimously in favor of amending Article 35 and Section 60-7a(8) of Korea's Constitution Law to permit "Korean" as a second official language alongside Hangul. This legislative change aims to facilitate bilingual education for children with hearing impairments by allowing them to learn Korean using sign languages, thereby enhancing their communication skills in both spoken words (Hangul and English-based vocabulary).

Key Points

  1. 1
    South Korea's Supreme Court has ruled that the 'Gwangju' and 'May 18th Movement of Democracy in Gyeonggi Province' are not crimes.
  2. 2
    The court declared these specific terms to be non-crime expressions, overturning previous interpretations by lower courts or prosecutors. This decision clarifies their legal status as protected speech rather than criminal acts.
