In front of the Japanese Embassy in Jongno-gu, Seoul, a candle lit with a hand sign saying "NO ABE" was in the hands of the citizens.

[The Abe government is condemned! The Abe government is condemned!]

At around 6 pm this evening, more than 1,000 civilians from 101 organizations gathered around the Japanese Embassy Peace Girls Award to pour out criticism of Japan and Abe on economic retaliation.

Participants in the rally demanded Japan to apologize to the victims and make reasonable compensation.

There was also a voice calling for Japanese boycotts.

[Kim Jong Hoon / Minshuto MP: Almost all of the big business is Japanese money. (Our common people money) It is that Japan that is going to detain, everybody.]

For the Korean government, we demanded a decisive response, such as destroying the Korea-Japan military information protection agreement.

He also insisted on returning the billion yen he received during the comfort women's agreement, and making sure that the agreement is destroyed.

Participants finished the rally with a performance of tearing over the top of the head.
