[Asia Economy reporters Song Seung-yoon, intern reporters Park Jun-hyung and Kim Dae-hyun] As the vote counting for the U.S. presidential election neared its final stage, small rallies held by citizens supporting U.S. President Donald Trump took place at various spots in Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul, on the 5th. Some labeled this U.S. election as a 'fraudulent election' and demanded a recount.

Around 1 p.m. that day, supporters of President Trump gathered at Gwanghwamun Square across from the U.S. Embassy in Jongno-gu, Seoul, holding a one-person protest rally wishing for Trump's re-election success. Some had gathered in the square since early morning, holding hand placards with phrases such as 'Trump win' and 'Trump re-election victory.'

As Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden's victory was anticipated, some citizens raised suspicions of election fraud. Flags and placards with phrases like 'Fraud voting boycott,' 'Fraud voting boycott!', and 'Vote manipulation' were seen here and there. Some held pamphlets bearing the names of specific civic groups, but most were reluctant to disclose their exact affiliations.

A citizen A (female, 60), who came out to Gwanghwamun Square that afternoon, said, "According to U.S. news, a large number of Biden votes came from one place, which is clear evidence of election fraud," and insisted, "A new vote count must be conducted." Another citizen B (female, 50) said, "Biden committed election fraud just like in our country's April 15 fraudulent election, and it seems China was involved here," adding, "I don't know much about Biden's policies, but since he is left-wing, he must never be elected."

Citizen C (65) said, "I support Trump because he takes a tough stance against China," and added, "In Biden's case, there was also the scandal involving his son's leaked laptop, and the way things are unfolding is seriously wrong."

Meanwhile, on the 5th (local time), the vote counting for the U.S. presidential election entered its final stage, but chaotic situations continued as President Donald Trump unilaterally claimed victory during the counting process and engaged in legal battles. Protests broke out across the U.S. during the counting, and clashes between supporters of the two candidates occurred in some areas.
