Many citizens are expected to gather in Yeouido, Seoul, where the National Assembly is located today, when the vote on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol will be held.

A conservative group against impeachment reported the rally in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Na Hye-in, don't you think the rally will be bigger than the first impeachment vote?

Yes, the plenary session of the National Assembly will be convened at 4 p.m. to vote on President Yoon's impeachment, but the rally in front of the Capitol has been announced since the day.

The candlelight movement of civic groups, which has continued the candlelight culture festival in front of the National Assembly on weekdays evening, heralded a preliminary rally from 1:30 p.m.

Organizations such as the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, affiliated freight unions, and media unions have also decided to hold individual rallies around Yeouido at a similar time.

University student situation conferences and women's and youth organizations, which gather students from more than 30 universities across the country, also plan to speak out nearby to call for the president's resignation.

The enthusiasm for the rally is expected to peak at 3 p.m., an hour before the impeachment vote.

Civic groups that hold sporadic rallies will also join all national candlelight vigils hosted by the "Immediate resignation of Yoon Suk Yeol and emergency action for social reform" in front of the main gate of the National Assembly at 3 p.m.

The organizers reported to the police that hundreds of thousands of people could gather, including the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, the Federation of Korean Trade Unions, civil society groups and ordinary citizens.Conservative groups opposing the impeachment of President Yoon

are expected to gather in front of Gwanghwamun rather than Yeouido.

The "Korea Straightening National Movement Headquarters," led by Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon and others, reported that it will hold a rally of 20,000 people in front of the Donghwa Duty Free Shop in Gwanghwamun from 2 p.m.

Police said congestion around the assembly site is expected and asked people to use the subway if possible.

The city plans to cooperate with the police and fire department to manage safety and operate additional subways.

Temporary toilets will be set up in Yeouido and Gwanghwamun areas, and the opening of toilets in nearby private buildings will also be increased.
