They also held a press conference in front of the Nobel Peace Center, stating that "Mayor Oh Se-hoon is suppressing Jeonjangyeon's activities." It was reported that Professor Park No-ja from the Korean Studies Department at the University of Oslo attended the event to show support. On the 19th, they also staged a sit-in protest in front of the Korean Embassy in Norway and delivered a letter denouncing the deprivation of rights of persons with disabilities in Korea to the embassy.
