The June 29 Declaration (Korean: 6.29 선언; Hanja: 六二九宣言; RR: Yug-igu seoneon), officially titled the Special Declaration for Grand National Harmony and Progress Towards a Great Nation (Korean: 국민들의 민주화와 직선제 개헌요구를 받아들여 발표한 특별선언), was a speech by Roh Tae-woo, presidential candidate of the ruling Democratic Justice Party of South Korea, on 29 June 1987. In the declaration, Roh promised significant concessions to opponents of the incumbent authoritarian regime of Chun Doo-hwan who had been pressing for democracy. Roh went on to win the open presidential elections that were held that year, the first for at least the fifteen years since the October Yushin of 1972.
