I never get too concerned when I see lawn chairs and sparse crowds at demonstrations.

These protests are small.

The last actually big protests in Seoul were in 2016 calling for the president they want freed from jail to be put in jail. Conservatively I would estimate 1000x the numbers.

Before that the protests of 2008 against US beef imports were definitely the wildest ones I've seen in Seoul. Getting mad over mad cow.

In anycase I'm sure all were nothing compared to protestsbin the 1950s and 1980s here.
