On the 1st of March 1st, government condemnation and vehicle demonstrations were held around Seoul, centering on some conservative groups. However, as it rains and the weather gets colder, the size of the rally is not as big as expected.

About 10 people, including members of the Free Korea National Team, held a rally in front of Gwanghwamun at around 11 am on the same day. They initially reported a rally of 50 people and were banned by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. After that, the Seoul Administrative Court held a rally with 20 or fewer’conditionally allowed’.

The meeting of conservative YouTuber Hwang Mo, scheduled to be held in front of the Ilmin Museum of Art in Jongno-gu, Seoul, is known to have been canceled. In order to hold a rally, it seems that it was difficult to carry out this, although it was necessary to bring the result of the negative corona 19 test requested by the court.

On this day, the Republic of Korea held a press conference at Tapgol Park at noon on that day and held a rally with no more than 9 people participating in subway stations and traditional markets around Seoul from 1 p.m. The Taegeukgi Revolutionary National Headquarters will also hold a rally in Myeong-dong from 1pm on this day.

Small vehicle protests are also continuing. The patriot patrol team departs near Seodaemun this afternoon and conducts a vehicle demonstration going to the Hanseong Department nearby, and the emergency national solidarity will hold a vehicle demonstration near the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts at around 12:30 PM on that day to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office in Seocho-gu. Participants of the demonstration must ride one person per vehicle and follow the quarantine regulations.

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, as of the 26th of last month, there were 1670 cases reported for the March 1 assembly in Seoul. More than 2,500 people are expected to participate in the urban rally in the form of press conferences, one-person protests, and nine or less gatherings.

If the city does not comply with any of the standards, such as △the size of △9 people or less in the area where the assembly is allowed, △compliance with the quarantine regulations, all of them will be reported as illegal and will take prosecution.

Since November 24, last year, the city of Seoul has banned gatherings of 10 or more people in the city center. On August 15, last year, as the Sarangjeil Church in Seongbuk and the Liberation Day rally began to spread, the second pandemic of Corona 19 occurred nationwide.

An official from the city of Seoul emphasized that “basically, illegal assemblies are blocked at the source,” and “we will strictly respond to illegal assemblies through accusations.” In the event of violating the ban on assembly, a fine of not more than 3 million won is required according to the Infectious Disease Prevention Act.

In addition, the Seoul Metropolitan Government installed fences in the Seoul Plaza and guided the quarantine regulations to the assembly groups. Depending on the situation, it is also planning to control subway exits and bypass city buses.

On-site collection is also conducted at the meeting. The city of Seoul plans to conduct joint work with the police in major places such as Seoul Plaza, and take measures such as accusations and fines depending on the case of violation.

An official from Seoul said, “We will go out to the main areas where the assembly with the police, etc. is held on this day, and inform and check whether the quarantine regulations are observed.” I will do it.”

The police are planning to do their utmost to prevent this rally from becoming another chance to re-proliferate. About 110 companies, and a maximum of 6000 personnel are expected to be employed. If there were signs of a large-scale rally, it was decided whether or not to hit the car wall depending on the situation.

An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stressed, “We will do our best to ensure that the compliance matters are followed as much as possible in accordance with the court ruling.”
