The Bình Hòa Massacre, (Vietnamese: thảm sát Bình Hoà, Korean: 빈호아 학살) was a massacre purportedly conducted by South Korean forces between December 3 and December 6, 1966, of 430 unarmed civilians in Bình Hòa village, Quảng Ngãi Province in South Vietnam.[1][3] In 2000, however, it was reported that a monument within the village, gave the dates of the massacre as October 22, 24, and 26, 1966 and said that 403 people were killed by the South Koreans.[4]
The district was in the operational area of the Blue Dragon Brigade.[5] Most of the victims were children, elderly and women.[6] More than half the victims were women (including seven who were pregnant) and 166 children.[1][7] The South Korean soldiers burnt down all of the houses and killed hundreds of cows and buffalo after the atrocities.[1] A number of the survivors of the massacre joined the Viet Cong and fought against the United States and its Allies, one of which was South Korea.[1][8] South Korean forces were also accused of conducting a similar massacre in Binh Tai village within the same year.[9][10]
The massacre was discussed when British journalist Justin Wintle visited Vietnam in the late 1980s, where the report on the massacre was disclosed to Western media.[8]: 12
In popular culture
The Binh Hoa massacre was featured in a Korean documentary The Last Lullaby on the subject of Korean atrocities in South Vietnam.[11]
