Traffic control around Yeouido seems to be considerable, but the subway is also passing through without stopping?
[Reporter]
Yes, the roads near the National Assembly, such as the National Assembly Boulevard, Yeouido Park Road, and National Assembly Boulevard, where I am currently located, are completely controlled.
In addition to the main roads, the number of controlled sections is increasing.
The police asked you to use public transportation such as subways if possible, and to check traffic information in advance if you are forced to use a vehicle.
However, trains on Seoul Subway Line 9 have been passing through the National Assembly and Yeouido Station without stopping since around 2:50 p.m., before the assembly begins.
In addition, eight bus stops around the National Assembly Station have been suspended.
