AB - This research deals with the democratic movement of Koreans in Europe after the 18th May Democratic Uprising. This work tries to describe the democracy movement of the Koreans abroad and the history of Korean groups in Europe. In particular, the ideas of the groups for the democracy of Korea are analyzed and the movements are explained in the framework of international circumstances. Following the announcement of the Gwangju massacre in 1980 many Koreans had taken part in the demonstration in Europe. In the crisis of democracy the Koreans abroad played a leading role against military dictatorship. The demonstration in Europe is evaluated by the three aspects for the evolving democracy in Korea. The first of the three is that the Uprising induced public participation; Second, the Koreans abroad had fought with different groups for democracy at the international level. Third, the Koreans abroad expanded the citizen movement to the unification movement. The 18th May Gwangju Uprising and succession of its sprit could be called as decisive operator to realize the democracy in Korea. Since May 1987, the memorial May Minjungje is continuously held once a year and is organized by the Preparatory Commission of various groups. The spirit of the Gwangju Uprising has resonated with Koreans in the global movement for democracy and human rights. In this paper Lee Jong-hyun, Kim Jin-hyang, Lee Jun-sik, Kim A-il, Kim Jung-suk, Jang Il-Jung, Yun Un-sub, Choi Young-Suk and Choi Hyun-duk are concretely examined and their activities are described. This study of the democracy movement of the Koreans in Europe has the meaning to lay the foundations in this area of research.
