Informational

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) plans to rally at the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office in Seoul 14:00-17:00 Nov. 20 to demand President Yoon Suk Yeol's resignation. Previous demonstrations have drawn thousands of participants.

Authorities will likely increase security at any rally site and its surrounding areas. Localized traffic disruptions are possible, especially if activists occupy nearby roads. While violence is unlikely, clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.

Avoid the demonstration as a security precaution. Allow additional travel time near events. If clashes occur, leave the area immediately. Heed instructions from authorities.
