The South Korean left has responded to the massive rally against the allegedly corrupt ROK Justice Minister with a rally of their own:

Supporters of the main opposition Liberty Korea Party and conservatives critical of liberal President Moon Jae-in hold a rally at the Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul on Oct. 3, 2019, calling for the ousting of Justice Minister Cho Kuk. (Yonhap)

Activists and citizens held a rally in southern Seoul on Saturday in support of Justice Minister Cho Kuk and his drive to reform the prosecution amid a probe into corruption allegations surrounding his family.
The candlelight vigil started at around 6 p.m. at an intersection near Seocho Station, where the prosecution’s office is located, for the third such weekly rally.
Participants chanted slogans — “Reform the Prosecution” and “Protect Cho Kuk” — as they condemned the prosecution’s widening probe into Cho’s family as an attempt to deter the minister from reforming the elite investigation agency.

The conservatives too claimed for their protest from day before yesterday 3 million figure… This protest at smaller area unlike pro government protest that spanned several blocks.
