David first arrived in Korea in April of 1978 as a Peace Corps volunteer. His Korean name is Im Dae-oon, wh ich was given by his Korean teachers when he first came to Korea. In Korean, his family name, Im, means ‘Forest,’ and his given name, Dae-oon, means ‘big cloud.’ David was forced to resign from Peace Corps the very next day of the Gwangju Uprising. However, after he witnessed the Gwangju Uprising, it opened up to a new path and shaped him into who he is now.

Originally hailing from Canada, Matt VanVolkenburg first arrived in Korea in 2001. Fascinated by Korea's modern history, in 2005 he began writing about Korean history, society, and culture on his blog, Gusts of Popular Feeling More recently, he supplemented his history degree with an MA in Korean Studies from the University of Washington and is currently researching 1970s Korean youth culture. Having read voraciously about the Gwangju Uprising since 2001, Matt immediately recognized David's name when they met in an online fo rum in 2006, and the seeds of this book were first planted when they finally met in person seven years later.
