[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The progressive-leaning YouTube channel Seoul Voice held a counter-protest in front of President Yoon Seok-yeol's residence on the 14th. They announced that they would continue the protests daily until the rallies in front of the Yangsan residence are stopped.

According to the police, Seoul Voice began their protest around 2 p.m. at the Seoul Seocho-dong Rehabilitation Court, where President Yoon's residence is located. They initially applied to the police for a gathering of 500 people, but the actual number of participants was much smaller, about 20 people.

On the sidewalk to the right of the court, some participants held placards reading "Yoon Seok-yeol, who protects immoral protests, must apologize" and "Arrest Kim Geon-hee for stock manipulation law."

Baek Eun-jong, the representative of Seoul Voice, stated, "President Yoon, as the president, should treat all citizens equally, but he told us to follow the law," adding, "So we have no choice but to protest in front of Acrovista, where President Yoon lives, according to the law." Seoul Voice repeatedly emphasized that they would continue the protests until the rallies in front of the Yangsan residence end. Baek also said, "We will hold counter-protests until the malicious rallies in front of former President Moon Jae-in's Yangsan residence end."

Near the main gate of the court, conservative groups held counter-counter protests. They shouted slogans such as "Arrest Baek Eun-jong of Seoul Voice."

Meanwhile, the police, concerned about possible clashes between these groups and Seoul Voice, designated a 10-meter section from the main gate as a protest-free zone. The police deployed personnel in advance to prevent any conflicts.
