Protest in Seoul, South Korea
In: Current Events in Korea| Daily Life in Seoul, South Korea| Korean Culture
4 May 2009As Sam and I were wandering around the streets of Insadong, we witnessed a very peaceful South Korean protest.
Below is a video of the protest with some photos of the Korean riot police with shields. I was approached very quickly by the police to go away and stop taking pictures so I snapped away before hustling out of there…..
In the video above, you can see the Korean riot police standing by next to the buses with shields.
Uniformed Korean riot police standing next to their Daewoo bus with shields…..
The Korean Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Family Affairs….
Lots of Korean riot police standing beside two Daewoo police buses….
Two riot police standing at the entry/exit of the complex….. They seemed unworried… You can see their sheilds resting against the wall….
