Paul,

In the months prior to the Korean War, ROKA and National Police units were 
systematically sweeping the southeast corner of South Korea for 
guerrillas.  The entire area had been declared a combat zone, thus anyone 
caught in civilian clothing with a weapon could be tried by military 
court-martial and shot as a spy under a loose interpretation of 
international law.  The execution of some of these guerrillas may be what 
the video shows.
