Seoul Demonstration Pictures and Videos

Went to City Hall by subway at 3:30 pm. The subway was packed and delayed.

Seoul City Hall subway exit at 4:00 pm.

Took a side street to avoid the crowds, but all the side streets were packed. 
In front of Sejong Cultural Center in Kwangwha Mun Plaza at 6:00 pm.

The police say there were 250,000 demonstrators. The demonstration organizers say there were 850,000 demonstrators at 6:30 pm. If you take into account that there are demonstrations all around the center of Seoul, there were more than a million.

Considering the protest started at 4:00 pm and will continue to past midnight, the total number of demonstrators could be more than two million.

I left at 7:00 pm to have dinner at home. As I left, I saw even bigger crowds walking towards Kwangwha Mun Plaza. I think most people are going to participate after dinner. 

I saw a lot of students that packed snacks for dinner. No money.





The last video was taken about 1 km away from Kwangwha Mun.

On the news, they say that two kilometers from Kwangwha Mun to Namdae Mun was packed with demonstrators. Also the side streets for two blocks on each side were also packed.
