Student athletes from a Seoul high school will visit Gwangju, Monday, to formally apologize for chanting disparaging slogans about the 1980 Gwangju Uprising during a national baseball tournament. The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education said a delegation of 86 people from Seoul's Paichai High School will visit Gwangju Jeil High School — the opposing school targeted by the chants — at 3 p.m. The delegation will include 36 baseball players, the headmaster, coaches, teachers and parents. The student athletes will read a letter of apology and meet with peers from the Gwangju school for a reconciliation session. The delegation will also visit the May 18th National Cemetery at 4 p.m. to pay tribute to those killed during the pro-democracy movement against military rule in Gwangju in 1980. The visit will be accompanied by the superintendents of the Seoul and Gwangju education boards, Jung Keun-sik and Kim Dae-jung. The apology comes after Paichai High School's baseball team sparked outrage by chanting slogans widely regarded as politically and historically offensive during a tournament game
