[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] The National Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination (Jeonjangyeon) has decided to hold a subway boarding protest on the morning commute on the 19th without announcing the subway station. On the 18th, Jeonjangyeon stated, "The subway publicity campaign at 8 a.m. on the 19th will be conducted without announcing the subway station to prevent Seoul City's non-stop measures, and we will gather at the Samgakji Station platform by 9 a.m.," adding, "We ask for your understanding as we cannot disclose the location of the publicity campaign in advance because Seoul City takes non-stop measures if the location is revealed."

Jeonjangyeon also condemned Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon's non-stop measures, which they say summarize the discrimination and violence that people with disabilities have suffered throughout their lives due to the state, stating, "The non-stop passing measure is an excessive infringement on the basic right to freedom of assembly and protest."

On the morning of the 14th at around 8:40 a.m., train operations were delayed by about 7 minutes due to Jeonjangyeon's subway publicity campaign at Samgakji Station on Line 4. In response, Seoul Metro allowed a subsequent train entering Samgakji Station from Sinyongsan Station at around 8:50 a.m. to pass without stopping.

Earlier, on the 12th, Seoul City decided to allow non-stop passing through subway stations if serious train operation delays occur due to Jeonjangyeon's protests.
