[Asia Economy Reporter Nana] On the evening of the 2nd, the court conditionally approved a small-scale vehicle rally of nine cars requested by the conservative group 'Aeguk Sunchal Team'. The Aeguk Sunchal Team is scheduled to hold rallies in the areas of Gangdong-gu and Seocho-gu to Gwangjin-gu in Seoul, respectively.

The court suspended the effect of the outdoor rally ban imposed by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the police on the Aeguk Sunchal Team.

The Aeguk Sunchal Team was allowed to hold a vehicle rally today from 12 PM to 5 PM, starting from Umyeonsan Tunnel in Seoul, passing through Bangbae-dong, the residence of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, to Guui-dong, the residence of Minister Choo Mi-ae.

However, participants must submit their names and vehicle numbers to the police, and face-to-face contact before and after the rally is prohibited. Also, only one person is allowed per vehicle, and windows must not be opened or slogans shouted during the rally. Group press conferences are also not permitted.

Another conservative group, 'Saehan-guk' (National Movement for a New Korea), plans to hold a rally with nine vehicles in the Gangdong-gu area of Seoul from 2 PM on the 3rd under nine restricted conditions.

Saehan-guk had reported a rally in areas outside Gangdong-gu but received a prohibition notice, so they announced they would conduct solo vehicle protests outside Gangdong-gu.

A police official stated, "Vehicle protests cannot be considered solo protests," and added, "Any actions violating the guidelines set by the court will be regarded as illegal."

The police plan to thoroughly check whether the protesters comply with the court's guidelines and respond strictly in case of violations.
