Protesters wrestling with alternative collective action as Yongsan unfit for mass rallies
Located within earshot of Cheong Wa Dae, the spacious area of Gwanghwamun Square is one of the most popular venues for protesters to gather and call for change. Its location near the presidential office makes it easier for them to make their voices heard. Partly because of this reason, there are protests there almost every day, from one-person rallies to large-scale demonstrations, as seen during the candlelit rallies in 2016 and 2017, which led to the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye. Some have even installed makeshift facilities to stay there for longer-term protests.
