Korean college graduates were forcibly taken away by presidential guards, and alumni demanded an apology from Yin Xiyue. Yoon Seok-yue attended the degree awarding ceremony of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology in Daejeon on the 16th.

It is reported that the graduate asked the government to restore the cut scientific research and experimental development (R&D) budget. Some alumni believe that "this incident is obviously an excessive psychological warning on the part of the Presidential Palace"
