In Gyeongsangbuk-do Gyeongju, which will host the 2025 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, a total of 17 related rally applications have been received so far.
On the 27th, the Korean National Police Agency announced the above facts through a press release. This is the statistical data as of 2 p.m. on that day.
According to the Korean police, "The rallies are not classified by subject, so it is not possible to provide specific numbers of anti-China and anti-American rallies. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Regarding whether measures such as issuing restriction notices will be taken against anti-American and anti-Chinese rallies, the police stated that they will "take corresponding measures in accordance with the Act on Assemblies and Demonstrations (the Assembly and Demonstration Act), considering whether there is a risk of endangering public safety."
From the period of the APEC Summit until the first of next month, rallies and city parades organized by progressive and conservative groups will continue to be held in Gyeongju, South Korea.
On the 29th, the "2025 APEC Anti-International People's Action Preparation Committee" will hold a press conference at the entrance of Pumun Park in Gyeongju, titled "Oppose Tariff Hegemony, Oppose Economic Exploitation, Oppose APEC, Condemn Trump's Visit to South Korea."
The International People's Action is composed of 35 progressive political parties, labor groups, and civil society organizations.
At the same time, the conservative group "Freedom University" will also launch a street parade with the slogan "Do you know Gyeongju" on the same day, holding an opposing rally.
