Please tell me about the atmosphere there.

Yes, this place in Myeong-dong, Seoul, is full of people who came out to enjoy Christmas Eve.

Gorgeous lights are shining everywhere and carols are flowing out, so you can feel that Christmas is just around the corner.

Citizens enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere, but hoped that the social turmoil that has continued since martial law would be resolved as soon as possible.

Let's hear your voice.

[Ryu Hyangja and Kim Kwan-young / Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province: It's Christmas and it's so chaotic, so the two of us came out to get some fresh air. I hope there will be some politicians who think of the people first.]

Many citizens are also coming to the cathedral to participate in the Christmas Mass.

Outside the cathedral, a sculpture commemorating the birth of baby Jesus is installed, and a tree is also erected.

Later at 11:50 p.m., a Christmas relief ceremony will be held in the front yard of the cathedral.

Priests and citizens are reminded of the meaning of Christmas by watching a model of baby Jesus lie in a manger.

At midnight after the ceremony, Archbishop Chung Soon-taek holds a mass on Christmas Day night.

At this time, the Christmas message will be announced, and it is expected to contain a message that the chaotic political situation must be resolved quickly after the emergency martial law.

Seoul's Jung-gu Office expects up to 90,000 people to gather around Myeong-dong tonight.

Jung-gu District Office is putting safety personnel in groups of two at 17 major concentrated points such as Myeong-dong-gil and Namdaemun-ro.

Police are also deploying 100 police officers in Myeong-dong to ensure safety management.
