Abstract
This study focuses on the question of changing protest repertoires and asks what explains the emergence of extreme repertoires (a protest form that is lone in nature, accompanied by a high level of self-imposed danger and pain, and staged for a collective cause) in labor movements in times of institutionalized democracy and capitalist affluence in South Korea. Social movement scholarship has emphasized that massive structural transformations, such as nation-state building, industrialization, and regime types, give birth to renovated protest forms. This study moves beneath these nation-state oriented, structural arguments for protest repertoire change, and explicates how the varied positions of the sectoral movement within power relations vis-a-vis state institutions, corporations, and civil society inform activists to choose alternative protest methods. The arguments are based on protest repertoires data collected and coded from newspaper reports in 1999-2019 as well as interviews with labor activists and their published writings in 2017-2022.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
