What does it take for ordinary citizens to risk everything to
protest living under a repressive government? What takes them
beyond the brink, to the "boiling point"? In his graphic novel 100
DegreesC, celebrated webtoon and comics artist Choi Kyu-sok sheds a
light on these questions by examining the lives of one family
caught up in the great social unrest that developed under Chun
Doo-hwan's regime and culminated in the June 1987 Uprising. Crucial
to understanding the events of the summer of 1987 is the
recognition of both the political context and the dynamics of the
nationwide effort that included students, office workers, and
religious and labor groups-all of whom came together to demand a
new constitution and free elections. Choi's is a measured yet
powerful representation of a pivotal moment in Korean history, when
individuals questioned the status quo, when parents joined their
children to express their grievances and agitate for democratic
reforms, when an entire nation chose to move in a new direction.
