Generally Industrial accidents compensation system is thought to be typical Industrial accidents compensation system. However, when Industrial accidents compensation system was introduced in Korea, society didn’t accept the system easily. It was due to the social mood that anti-poverty and unemployment is more critical issue than social security system. Some of the workers didn’t welcome for fear that the amount of heir Industrial accidents compensation, which gained from collective agreement, will decrease. Unwelcomed Industrial accidents compensation system raised various complaints from workers as the companies adapting the system expanded. the Minister of Office of Labor Affairs added a regulation in Industrial accidents compensation system limiting the payment of insurance in case when the fault lied in owner of the company or disabled worker. It meant the system accused the responsibility of Industrial accident to the disabled worker, which became a critical reason to make workers unsatisfied with the Industrial accidents compensation system. 'Merit rate' of the industrial accident compensation insurance conducted in the same reason covered up the accident rather than to improve the effects of the industrial accident prevention results. Workers, the direct victim of the accident were not satisfied with the industrial accident compensation insurance itself. Workers saying the accident insurance to be operated "severely" due to 'Insurance Application restrictions' raised the institutional problem of the insurance. Korea Confederation of Trade Unions insisted that the system be improved receiving the complaints of victims of an industrial accident. Individual accident workers asked the responsibility of the Company for the industrial accident occurrence and filed a civil lawsuit. This was a result of the spread that awareness to corporate rights liability is caused by industrial accident. But workers' compensation claims and civil action was only a post-compensation to request for legal action. This situation was began to change after a 'Min, Jeongjin incidents of Hyeopsin Leather Industry' in 1977. The family of Min, Jeongjin and workers insisted that the work order issued to workers in the workplace where an industrial accident is taken place inevitably be equal to 'Worker Murder'. They demanded the Minister of Office of Labor Affairs to step down and Hyeopsin Leather Industry President Moon Jaein be placed under arrest because they were responsible for the incident. It was "the moment of the Change" that demands of the workers to stay in the post-compensation level was progressed to "The level" to require the Government and corporate to answer for not preventing the accident itself.
