On the 24th, the Bangbae Police Station in Seoul announced that it requested the attendance of Ha Won-oh, former chairman of Jeonnong, and Secretary-General A, who are suspected of violating the Assembly and Demonstration Act.

On the 22nd, they attempted to protest by driving tractors to Seoul but clashed with police near Namtaeryeong Station in Seocho-gu, Seoul, who were blocking their entry into the city.

At that time, two participants in the rally were detained on charges of obstructing official duties and were held at the Gwanak Police Station in Seoul but were released the next day, the 23rd. However, it was revealed that they were not members of Jeonnong but members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions.

The police plan to summon Jeonnong executives to investigate the overall process of the Jeonnong rally.
