On October 27, 2024, a major demonstration is scheduled to take place in Seoul, South Korea, along Sejong-daero, from Gwanghwamun Gate to Seoul Station. This event, organized by several labor groups and activists, aims to promote workers’ rights and call for social reforms. The demonstration will start at 2 PM and is expected to gather a large number of participants, resulting in heightened security measures and traffic controls in the area.
Local authorities have announced a strong police presence to manage the influx of demonstrators and maintain order. Traffic disruptions around Sejong-daero, a central artery, are likely to complicate movement in the city. Residents and visitors are therefore encouraged to use public transportation to limit delays and avoid areas affected by the demonstration.
