The civic group ‘National Movement for a New Korea’ (New Korea) mobilized around 40 vehicles and organized a ‘Parade of Vehicles calling for the resignation of Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae’ at the Gangnam Express or Mapo Terminal.

At 1:30 pm that day, vehicles with the ‘Chu Mi-ae resign’ flag began to gather in the public parking lot of Sadang Station in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. It was a vehicle to participate in the ‘Car Parade Demonstration’ organized by the new Korea. At the same time, the vehicles were gathered for the same purpose in a total of six areas in Seoul, including the Mapo Reservoir Parking, Dobongsan Station Parking, and Eungam Public Parking.
On this day, the new South Korean part divided the meeting places in Seoul into six sections, including ‘Mapo Yusuji Parking → Seocho Fire Station’ and ‘Adang Public Parking → Express Terminal Station’, and held a demonstration of copper parade in each course. Only 9 people (9 vehicles) or less participated in each area to avoid the ‘Order prohibiting the gathering of 10 or more people’ issued by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Government said: “In the case of this assembly, there was no prohibited area for assemblies on the travel route, and 9 vehicles were reported for each section, so more than 10 people did not violate the regulation. that prohibits the assembly “. The assembly was allowed under conditions such as prohibiting parking, stopping and getting off ”.
Participating in the car parade protests, they raced through central Seoul with the banner “ Chu Mi-ae resign ” on their vehicles and attaching the attachments “ Destruction of the rule of law and military disorder ”, “ Chu Mi-ae resigns ” and “ I’m sorry that my mother is not Chu Mi-ae. ” Domo (57), who participated in the car parade protests leaving Sadang Station that day, said: “Everyone has resentment in mind for the behavior of those who deviate from common sense, such as Mi-hyang Yoon and Mi-ae Chu, leaving the homeland. “I couldn’t bear it because I saw what the government was doing, so I went out to participate in a car rally.” He said, “I will definitely participate in the Gaecheon Day gathering next week.”
“200 marches at the beginning of the year”
Earlier, the new South Korean party said: “We will carry out the right-wing movement in all regions of the country through the Car Parade protests.” On the 24th, the new South Korean party, which held a press conference in front of the main gate of the National Assembly building, said: “We declare the closure of the Gwanghwamun assembly on the first day of the foundation day. I will open it. “Pastor Kyung-seok Seo (new Korean representative) said,” The vehicle demonstration has nothing to do with Corona 19, “and said,” 200 vehicles will parade on the foundation day, and if we get a notice that the police prohibit the meeting, we will file an administrative complaint.
However, the government plans to not allow modified demonstrations, such as vehicle demonstrations, because there are concerns about the spread of Corona 19 and traffic jams. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said on the 24th: “We will not tolerate the Gwanghwamun assembly on the opening day of the year in any way” and “we will strengthen the necessary measures in accordance with the law.” Police Commissioner Kim Chang-ryong also announced on the 3rd of next month that he would close it down by operating a “triple checkpoint” to prevent a demonstration in central Seoul.
Pastor Kyung-Seok Seo (new Korean representative) who predicted the ‘March vehicle rally’ on the first day of the founding day
Reverend Kyung-Seok Seo, representative of the conservative group ‘National Movement for a New Korea’, which predicted a large-scale parade of vehicles on the opening day of the festival, is giving an interview with JoongAng Ilbo at a cafe in Yeouido, Seoul on the 24th.
Q. The police announced a ban on the parade of 200 vehicles at the National Foundation Day protests.
TO. The reported number of participants in the rally was 200, and anyway it was a scheduled procedure because the section through which the vehicle passes was included in the prohibited area. It can be considered as a kind of presentation of the rally. The administrative litigation will continue as it is and will report back to the assembly. This time, except for prohibited areas, every district in Seoul will report a rally stating that 9 vehicles will be held.
Q. So the meetings are not held in Gwanghwamun on the first day of the year?
TO. Now is the time to change the idea to a movement that spreads in line with the Crown era, rather than a gathering of many people in Gwanghwamun. It will change from a Gwanghwamun-centered movement under the command of a charismatic leader, Jindu, to a rally where large and small movements take place sporadically across the country.
Q. Is this the new way to assemble a Car Parade protest?
TO. Yes. Next week, as well as New Year’s Eve, several right-wing conservative groups across the country are scheduled to hold a vehicle parade every Saturday of every week after reporting on a rally with nine people in each region. Even if 9 vehicles are operated in 25 autonomous districts of Seoul, more than 200 vehicles participate.
Q. How is the reaction to the Carparade protests?
TO. It can be said that there are fewer 9 vehicles, but citizens are also showing a lot of interest as vehicles with flags and stickers circulate on the roads of central Seoul. The satisfaction of those who participate in the assembly is also high because you just have to take the vehicle out of the house, drive on the road and return immediately. However, the Car Parade protests require a bigger decision. Usually, one’s identity is not exposed in meetings. However, at vehicle demonstrations, the license plate is exposed, thus revealing the entire identity of the person. I think it can convey the sincerity of participating in the meetings because it is even taking a greater risk and speaking.
P. However, public opinion about the meeting is still not good.
TO. The Car Parade protest was conceived to win the support of the people and speak out. The vehicle demonstration has nothing to do with Corona 19. What is the risk of infection when only one person rides in a car to protest? Hundreds of vehicles are not gathered in one place, but nine are marching in each area, so there are no traffic jams. However, the government is trying to suppress the assembly without any legal basis.
Q. What do you think of Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon?
TO. Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon’s dedication and passion is recognized. However, I believe that the former pastor places a great limitation on the development of the right-wing movement. I would like to point out that the previous pastor’s actions fell short of the desirable democratic decision-making process.
P. Working with Pastor Kwang-Hoon Jeon ‘Participants in the August 15 rally The National Emergency Response Committee (815 without competition) announced that it would hold the Gaecheon Day rally.
TO. I think neither the 815th Corps nor ours represent right-wing conservatives. However, it is important to gather opinions from right-wing civil society while looking at public opinion. The right can only win the next election if it gets strong public support. This is because all right-wing organizations are demanding the same position in a new way of expressing their opinions, called the car parade protests.
