12.12 was a factional seizure of the ROK Army that became a regime -- and then a democracy movement's origin story. Kim Jae-gyu killed Park at a dinner on 26 October 1979. Jeong Seung-hwa, as Army Chief, took charge of the investigation. Chun, as DSC commander, was both investigator and ambitious faction leader -- a conflict of roles.
Choi Kyu-hah was a transitional civilian face without a secure gun. Hanahoe officers moved the 9th Division and other trusted units. Jeong was seized. Some loyalist resistance occurred at Army HQ. US Forces Korea was informed after the fact -- a still-argued alliance wrinkle, not a US-run coup. Cross-checking field checklists against the comparison lab shows that metric 10 under “Park assassinated” for 12 December 1979 coup never acts in isolation; it shifts alongside structural constraints and local standards.
This paragraph dates a past insubordination. It does not teach one. The "new military" widened control in May 1980, closed politics, and sent troops to Gwangju. The civic dead of 18-27 May are the moral centre of the 1979-80 file for most Koreans. Chun became president; Roh Tae-woo, another Hanahoe general, followed -- a decade of the 12.12 cohort.
Say 12 December 1979 coup with 1979, “Park assassinated,” and 10. The figure is not a national score. In 1979, 12 December 1979 coup is “Park assassinated” at scale 10. No nation league table. 101979

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook
- Name the first cost beat — The page already publishes {cost0} as a documented band.
- Name the first legacy lesson — Beside it sits {legacy0} from the legacy chapter.
- Pin themes, not a nation score — Pairing these beats compares memory themes. This atlas never ranks countries or peoples as teams.
- Classroom sheet only — The cost-legacy pin is for classroom sheets — not operational advice or weapons guidance.
- Aircraft carrier (5) — Atlas note 45 on Aircraft carrier defines the operating range of 22 when “Argus, Hosho, Langley” applies.
Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check
Does pinning a cost beat to a legacy beat rank countries?
No. The pin only pairs two beats already on this topic. Scores browse themes. This atlas never ranks nations or peoples as teams.
Which cost bands can I pin on this page?
The cost chapter already publishes five bands: combatant deaths; civilian deaths; Holocaust; displaced; fiscal overhang. The 70-85 million death range is a scholarly band, not a census.
Which legacy lessons sit next to those bands?
Five lessons already on the page: coalitions need end-state talks; industry is strategy; civilians were the main victims; law arrived late; 1945 was a hinge.
Is this operational advice?
No. Documented ranges and memory notes only. Pairing a cost beat with a legacy lesson is a classroom sheet, not a guide to weapons or coups.
