I definitely recommend doing some background reading on the Gwangju Uprising before reading this to get a better sense of the plot and why things (the violence) happen the way they are in the book. There is a section in the beginning that briefly describes the uprising though.
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Gun violence, Physical abuse, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Torture, Violence, Blood, Police brutality, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Child death, Cursing, Mass/school shootings, and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Suicide and Vomit
