The police keep overestimating pro-Park demonstrators and underestimating anti-Park demonstrators. They say that there were 10,000 anti-Park demonstrators and 30,000 anti-Park demonstrators.
I saw some pro-Park demonstrators and there were only a couple of thousand. If you look at the picture below, there are pro-Park protesters walking. The demonstrators in the far background are anti-Park, and there is a line of policemen on the right to protect them (wearing yellow sashes).
In this next picture, you can see there are a lot more than 30,000 anti-Park demonstrators.
According to YTN News, the pro-Park demonstrators finished at 5:10 pm and were headed to their buses. The news commentator also added that they were transported in 170 buses from around Korea by conservative organizations.
Gwanghwamun (that is how they are spelling it these days) at 6:00 pm. It looks like crowds will be like last week and peak at around 9 pm. It's really cold, but I should attend...
They write Gwanghwamun in 3 Chinese characters, Gwang, Hwa, and Mun. I think Gwang means bright or light, Wha means to make or become and Mun is door or gate (Gate of Enlightenment). They should separate the names into the characters they use, so foreigner can begin to understand that Mun means door or gate. San means mountain. Cheon means stream and so on. Stop confusing them. :)
Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chinese use the same Chinese characters for the same meanings. They are pronounced a little differently in each country.
Gwang-hwa-mun at 6:30 pm.
For all the details and great pictures, please read the article in The Hankyoreh News:
