Yes, the "Yoon Seok-yeol Immediate Retreat and Social Great Reform Emergency Action," which consists of 1,500 organizations, including the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and civic groups, has been holding a rally since 6 p.m., about an hour ago, calling for the immediate dismissal of President Yoon Suk Yeol.
Gyeongbokgung Palace's Dongipjagak Pavilion is only about 500m away from the Constitutional Court.
Last weekend, the impeachment bill against President Yoon was passed by the National Assembly, and now the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial remains, so the plan is to urge President Yoon to be dismissed as soon as possible.
Even though it is a weekday evening, many citizens are with us, and it seems that the participation of citizens who left work is increasing as time goes by.
Participants of the rally are also participating in the rally in a bright atmosphere as if it were a concert hall, holding a cheering stick, so-called 'Impeachment Stick' today.
[Kim Min-ji / Participant in the rally: This time, it has to be tried by the Constitutional Court, but it came out on Monday because I think I need the help of citizens before then. I think it's good because it doesn't turn off for a long time and I can increase my participation.]

Yoon will be held throughout this week at 6 p.m. in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, as it is today, and participants plan to march in front of the Constitutional Court after the rally.
