Beomtu Coalition to Broadcast 3.1 Movement Gwanghwamun Rally on YouTube from Church Instead

Seoul City has decided to temporarily ban gatherings at Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul Plaza, and Cheonggye Plaza to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Meanwhile, on the 23rd, a National Rally to Set the Republic of Korea Straight, hosted by the Moon Jae-in Resignation National Struggle Headquarters (Beomtu-bon), was held in front of the Kyobo Building in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Jeon Gwang-hoon (64, detained), pastor of the Christian Council of Korea (CCK), who leads the Moon Jae-in Resignation National Struggle Headquarters (Beomtu-bon), held a rally on the 29th in the form of a 'YouTube competition' and decided to broadcast the 'March 1st Worship Service' via YouTube from a church service rather than a large-scale downtown rally.

Beomtu-bon held the 'March 1st Moon Jae-in Resignation National Rally' at Sarang Jeil Church in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, with about 200 believers from 2 p.m. that day, and live-streamed it on YouTube. Some of the broadcast channels of this event, which was simultaneously live-streamed through many conservative YouTubers, had over 10,000 viewers.

Considering the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), Beomtu-bon stepped back from its previous plan to hold an outdoor rally on March 1st. Pastor Jonathan, the event host, said, "Tomorrow is March 1st, and we have finally decided to hold the service here at Sarang Jeil Church instead of Lee Seung-man Square (Gwanghwamun Square)." He added, "The worship service will start at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, so we hope everyone will come here."
