Chonnam National University is named after Jeollanam province (formerly transliterated as Chollanam), which Gwangju used to be a part of. It is best known as being the starting site of the Gwangju Democratization Movement of 1980, which is a large-scale political uprising and massacre during South Korea's period under military rule.
