Workers from South Korea’s largest umbrella union gathered at a major intersection in Seoul on Wednesday morning to protest and demand the resignation of President Yoon Suk Yeol. The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), with over a million members, declared an indefinite general strike until Yoon steps down.
At the capital’s Gwanghwamun Square, some workers displayed signs with messages such as “Arrest Civil War Criminal Yoon Suk Yeol!” and called for the president’s impeachment. The square, located near the entrance to the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace, witnessed the gathering of the striking workers.
