[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Yangsan Police Station in Gyeongnam announced on the 9th that it held a "Meeting to Maintain Peace in Pyeongsan Village" on the 8th.


The meeting, held in the police station's second-floor conference room, was attended by the organizers of the anti-Former President Moon Jae-in rallies, including the Korea-US Freedom Wave, the East Busan Environmental NGO Coalition, the Yangsan Movement Headquarters to Protect the Republic of Korea, individuals, and solo protesters.


The police stated that the participants were selected based on anti-Former President Moon groups currently holding rallies and demonstrations in front of the former president's residence.


The meeting was arranged following the summer vacation of Former President Moon, during which the opposing groups refrained from using loudspeakers and amplifiers to maintain peace in Pyeongsan Village, resulting in several days of actual tranquility.


The police discussed with the attendees ▲measures to minimize noise for the peace of the village ▲ways to prevent conflicts during rallies and demonstrations between opposing groups, and listened to the difficulties faced by the rally organizers.


According to the police, all attendees agreed on maintaining the peace of Pyeongsan Village and reached a consensus to minimize noise, such as refraining from using amplifiers at least on weekday mornings, to ensure the rest of village residents.


The attendees also pledged to maintain order among rally and demonstration participants to prevent clashes between opposing groups.


Regarding acts such as interference with rallies by opposition-leaning YouTubers and solo protesters, they requested active police measures including mutual distancing.



Chief Han Sang-chul said, "Through this meeting, I felt that we are gradually finding an appropriate balance between the freedom of assembly and demonstration and the peaceful privacy of residents," adding, "I hope groups and solo protesters who did not attend the meeting will also join in maintaining peace in Pyeongsan Village, and we will continue to resolve conflicts on site through active communication with rally organizers."
