Yesterday, a delegation from #CandleLightMovement visited the TruckSol (truckers union) camp in front of the National Assembly where they are on the 11th day of their #HungerStrike
Student movement member: "We will fight together so that the workers' struggle will not be lonely!"

#korea #seoul #CandleLightMovement marches again. This time on Christmas eve!

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement
President #YoonSukYeol sits on a giant stone throne, a battalion of police officers bear it on their back. From behind buildings in a background people cry 경찰이 없어요! - "There's no police!"
On the night of the #itaewon disaster, local police had been diverted to perform security at the nearby presidential residence. Yongsan-gu police had repeatedly warned the city and seoul metro police that they were understaffed.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement
A woman, dressed in black robes, bends over in a barren dusty landscape to pick something up off the ground and put it in a blue trash bag.
The picture evokes images of a convict doing community service.
The caption says: 도이치 모터스 주식 줍닌 여인 / "a women picks up Deutsch Motors stocks"
First lady #KimGeonHee is said to have profited from a criminal stock price manipulation conspiracy for which Deutsch Motors CEO was prosecuted.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement this one depicts a scene of terrible carnage, ie. #russia criminal war of aggression in #ukraine
President #YoonSukYeol - looking distressed and angry - clenches his fist and says 이게 무슨 장면 이야? "what the hell is this?" (lit. what scene is this?)
#putin - his arm around yoon - says comfortingly 자네 좋아하는 선제 타격 / "your favourite - pre-emptive strike"
In run up to his election, yoon claimed pre-emptive strike is only solution to #DRPK missiles

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement This one depicts an elderly lady, sat cross legged, weeping in front of burned out ruins (from korean wildfires Mar 2022).
She clutches the hand of #YoonSukYeol and, with his head bowed, he promises "I will use the government budget to build a house"
The next pane depicts Yoon smiling and saying "my house."
He has moved the presidential office to former Japanese then US army base in itaewon, the move to the new residence cost $1Bn.

This one depicts president #YoonSukYeol leaning over eating from a bowl with a spoon. A korean flag is in the bowl. An open soju bottle with a glass poured out is beside him.The slogan says 나라를 말아먹습니다 / "to squander/use up the nation"
It's kind of a visual metaphor 밥 말아 먹다 means "to mix with rice and eat", like you get the left-over sauce or soup out the bottom of your bowl, you would mix in rice to soak it all up and eat every last bit.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement A sculpture in the back of a truck depicts trump with a ww2 era steel helmet with 5 stars on it. He holds a rock engraved with "I will beat the pants off Biden"
The back of the truck says 아무리들어봐도 나는 바이든이다 / "no matter how much i hear it, i am biden!"
Next to him is Fumio Kishida (PM of japan) holding a rock emblazoned with japanese imperial flag saying "results needed" and "cooperation needed"

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement
A print of a photograph is displayed. It depicts an elderly man (about the right age to be a father of a korean woman in her 20's) clutches a candle tightly with both hands and weeps tears that look burning hot. Behind him stands thousands of protesters also holding candles.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement many artworks depict loss, grief, and rage about the #itaewon disaster and the governments response to it.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement A dishevelled president #YoonSukYeol wields a baseball bat with nails in it. He is smashing a thomas the tank engine toy. A speech bubble has him shouting "You motherfuckers, not your freedom, MY freedom!"
Behind him the korean word "자유" or "freedom."
President tried to investigate how high school student won a manga prize by depicting Yoon as a train (it's a pun: Yoon Suk-Yeol-Cha -> Yeol-Cha means "train")
-
#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement radical artworks were on display in make-shift galleries.
Also spotted was this amusing scribble-board depicting president #YoonSukYeol as a joseon-era king with his robe open. His, um, "organs of state" are covered by a picture of disgraced former president Park Geun-Hye's face.
Most scribbles echo some negative sentiments of national disgrace, lost national pride, or call for him to step down. One is a heart which says "Hyerim is a cutie" :)

#seoul #korea on a stage at the #CandleLightMovement rally, there are traditional korean folk rituals and music, talks from religious and community leaders, interspersed with folk songs, and the like.
Most of the crowd are seated in the road. Crowds line both sides of the road and there are makeshift stalls for civic groups, radical press, art galleries, free soup, hawkers selling merch or a hot soup of silkworm pupae (delicious actually).

#seoul #korea a group of nuns attends yesterdays #CandleLightMovement protests.
The #catholic church was instrumental in south korea's struggle for #democracy in the 80's (much as they were in latin-american terror states which shared many similarities with south korea at that time)
One of several such groups that I saw.
