A large-scale rally demanding the resignation of President Yoon Suk-yeol was held again in the center of Seoul on November 30.

Civic groups, including “the National Emergency Action to Reject the Veto (Emergency Action),” held “the 3rd Citizens' March to Reject Yoon Suk-yeol” at 5:30 p.m. on the road in front of Gwanghwamun North Plaza in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

The Democratic Party of Korea joined the march by holding a “veto rejection convention” at 5 p.m. at the same location. The Candlelight vigils conference was also held, demanding “Yoon's Resignation and Special Prosecutor Act,” near Seoul's City Hall subway station from 3 p.m. before heading to the civic group’s march. Organizers estimated that 100,000 people braved the rain to attend the rally.

“More than 4,300 professors and Catholic priests have declared a state of emergency because they cannot sit idly by and watch South Korea's democracy collapse,” the group said, noting that “President Yoon has vetoed 25 times, and it undermined the legislative power of the National Assembly and abusing the power he has been given to avoid investigations into himself and his spouse.” “The Kim Keon-hee Special Prosecutor Act should be reintroduced in the National Assembly plenary session in early December,” they said.

Kim Hyung-soo, chairman of the Geoje, Tongyeong, and Goseong Shipbuilding subcontractor branch of the metalworkers' union of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), spoke, saying, “Reports have emerged that Myung Tae-gyun was involved in the suppression of Daewoo Shipbuilding workers who fought against it, shouting, ‘We can't live like this,’” and claimed that “Choi Soon-sil’s involvement in state affairs is not as serious as Myung’s.” “President Yoon is fomenting a war crisis by annulling the September 19 military agreement and creating a movement of sending 'leaflets to North Korea,'” said Lee Jae-hee, a resident of the border region who lives in Paju, Gyeonggi Province.

Not a few citizens said, “This is the first time I've attended a rally this year.” “I was discharged from Marine Corps in 2021. Although I was stationed in a different area from Chae Sang-byung, I was in the same artillery unit, so I empathized and joined today thinking there is something wrong about our country” said Mr. Choi (24). Ahn Chul-hwan (62), who came in a wheelchair, said, “I took a three-hour subway ride from Ansan, hoping to make a small contribution.” “How can the president cover his wife like that,” he said. “This is the first time since the 'Park Geun-hye impeachment' rally,” said Mr. Seo in his 40s who attended the rally with his children and wife. “It's frustrating that Yoon's government is unable to establish the principles for response when economic and industrial competitiveness is at stake.”

After the rally, participants marched from Gwanghwamun to the front of the Shinsegae Department Store in Jung-gu, Seoul.
