As gatherings in downtown Jongno are banned to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Justice and Memory Foundation decided to hold the Wednesday Demonstration in the form of a press conference at 12 noon on the 8th. At the same time, conservative groups nearby are also scheduled to hold press conferences, creating a tense atmosphere. On the morning of the day, barricades were installed around the Statue of Peace in front of the former Japanese Embassy in Jongno-gu, Seoul. / Reporter Moon Honam munonam@
