The June Tenth Movement (Korean: 6·10만세운동; Hanja: 六十萬歲運動) was a 1926 student protest primarily held in Keijō (Seoul), Korea against Japanese colonial rule.

As the March First Movement had occurred in the wake of the death of Sunjong's father Gojong, the Japanese military braced for a similar wave of protests.

[1] Regardless of the circumstances, Korean students planned protests for the beginning of Sunjong's public funeral: June 10.

[1] On June 10, 1926, Sunjong's funeral procession began marching in Seoul, from the former palace Changdeokgung to the tomb Hongneung.

Around 8:30 am, as the procession passed by Dansungsa, around 300 high school students began shouting "long live Korean independence!"

Students around the peninsula, including in Chongju, Ulsan, Gunsan, Pyongyang, Gongju, Jeonju, and more are attested to staying home from school in solidarity with the protestors in Seoul.
