Activists plan to hold protest march in downtown Seoul, South Korea, from 17:00 June 8. Localized transport disruptions possible.
Activists from the Candlelight Movement plan to hold a protest march in Seoul June 8 to call for several political concessions, including President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment. Participants will gather at Exit 7 of City Hall Station from 17:00 before heading to Seoul City Hall, Seoul Finance Center, Gwangtonggyo Bridge, Jonggak Station, Sejong-daero Intersection, and Gwanghwamun Square. Several thousand people could attend the gathering.
Authorities will probably monitor the protest as a precaution. While the gathering will likely be peaceful, isolated minor scuffles between activists and police cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions are possible.
Consider using alternative routes to avoid the affected areas June 8. Allow additional time for transport in downtown Seoul. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
