The “Jeju April 3 incident” were the most tragic series of events to occur between 1948 and 1954 on Jeju Island, South Korea.

This is the first study to focus on the psychological consequences suffered by survivors of the Jeju April 3 incident which occurred almost 70 years ago.

Aging survivors of the Jeju April 3 incident suffer from psychological sequelae, such as suicidal risk and depression, related to the extreme stress they encountered earlier in life.
