The 99 seats set up to limit the number of attendees in the Korean version were already full before the start of the assembly.
A local official said: “Today due to the protection of the crown, only less than 100 people are allowed to attend the meeting,” he said. “So only 99 chairs were prepared.” To comply with quarantine guidelines, the national government also directed excess personnel to be transferred to the other side of the road.
