Despite the cold weather, with temperatures reaching minus 15 degrees Celsius, a rally for and against President Yoon Seok-yeol's resignation will be held in downtown Seoul this weekend.
Snow is forecast in the Chungcheong and Jeolla provinces, but emergency prayer services for the national flag will be held in 10 regions across the country.
A rally of civic groups was held on the 8th regarding the investigation into President Yoon's resignation and the declaration of emergency martial law.
The emergency action for Yoon Seok-youl's immediate resignation and major social reform will begin at 5 p.m. on the same day, from Gwanghwamun in Jongno-gu, Seoul to Gyeongbokgung-dong on Seoul Subway Line 3.
The group announced the day before that they would hold the 10th All Citizens' Grand March, which would take them to Gyeongbokgung Station. The group is protesting the issue of the impeachment of President Moon Jae-in, which has been going on for more than two months since the emergency law was declared on December 3rd, and is currently in the midst of a dispute with the National Assembly and the Constitution over the matter.
They plan to request the court to resolve the situation as soon as possible. A rally will also be held in Jongno-gu on the same day to criticize the investigation into the president's impeachment and the declaration of emergency law. The Liberty United Party will hold a rally in Jongno-gu from 1 p.m. on the 8th.
The group announced that they would hold a rally with the participation of about 40,000 people on the main street that connects the Donghwa Duty Free Shop in the district to Daehanmun Square.
Traffic will be restricted on all roads in both directions between the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Kyobo Building. Traffic in downtown Seoul will be more congested than usual due to the succession of rallies attended by many people at the same time.
In addition to Seoul, Save Korea will be broadcasting in 10 areas across the country, including Busan, Daegu, Incheon, and Daejeon, from 1 p.m.
A national emergency prayer service will be held for four hours. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Agency has predicted that the morning low temperature across the country on this day will be between -17 and -5 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature will be between -4 and -4 degrees Celsius.
Snow began falling in the central region, including the Seoul metropolitan area, on the 6th, and some areas of the Chungcheong and Jeolla regions are expected to receive 1 to 3 centimeters of snow per hour on the same day.
In the area, sub-zero temperatures and strong winds will make the temperature feel even colder and there is a possibility of roads icing, so it is important to pay attention to your health and road safety.
