Jeon Jang-yeon, the National Solidarity for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, resumed a protest on the way to work from the morning of the 21st, saying that the Presidential Takeover Committee's measures for the right to move were insufficient.
It has been 22 days since the demonstration was temporarily suspended on the 30th of last month to wait for the transition committee to respond to the budget for the rights of persons with disabilities, and it has been 8 days since CEO Park Kyung-seok and Jeon Jang-yeon held a one-on-one discussion with People's Power Representative Lee Jun-seok on the 13th.
CEO Park held a press conference today at the platform of Gyeongbokgung Station on Subway Line 3 and said, "In the end, the commission did not give an official answer." He expressed regret.
CEO Park said, "Now, Minister of Strategy and Finance nominee Choo Kyung-ho must answer at the personnel hearing on May 2. I will stop 'I take the subway to work'," he said.
He continued, "If we do not make that promise, we will continue to carry out 'I take the subway to work' at Gyeongbokgung Station every day until inevitably receives an answer. "He said.
After the press conference, CEO Park got on the subway line 3 and got off the wheelchair and crawled on the train floor.
At the same time, at City Hall Station on Subway Line 2, Jeon Jang-yeon activists performed a performance in which they got off their wheelchairs and marched on their faces in a line.

As a result, Line 3 service was delayed from around 7:40 am in both directions, and Line 2 was delayed from around 7:40 am, and then resumed operation from the internal direction.
The Seoul Transportation Corporation issued data this morning, urging people to refrain from protests, saying, "If a delay occurs during rush hour, all trains on the line may be delayed."
