1950 -- American-led U.N. forces advance to Korea's border with China a little
more than a month after the Incheon landing, which turned the tide of the Korean
War. The U.N. forces were later forced to retreat by Chinese soldiers who crossed
the border to aid North Korea's attack.
1996 -- South Korea joins the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development, a Paris-based group of developed nations.
2003 -- Dissident Song Doo-yul is arrested on charges of violating the country's
controversial National Security Law and engaging in pro-North Korean activities.
The Muenster University professor had arrived in South Korea after 36 years of
self-imposed exile in Germany. Song was initially sentenced to seven years in
prison, but an appellate court later cleared him. Song and his wife returned to
Germany in August 2004.
