Anyone caught harming the police or damaging property is hopefully punished according to law. I did not like seeing mandatory service policemen getting assaulted by violent leftists over the years and the Korean right should not be doing the same thing:
Law enforcement agencies on Sunday condemned the violent protests at the Seoul Western District Court, the first-ever riot targeting the judiciary in South Korea, vowing to restore order and hold those responsible accountable. Sparked by the formal arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol earlier in the day, the attacks have sent shockwaves through the country.
After the court granted a warrant for Yoon’s extended detention at 2:50 a.m. Sunday, protesters forcefully entered the court by climbing over walls and smashing windows with ashtrays, stones, plastic chairs and trash at around 3:10 a.m.
The protesters also assaulted police officials stationed around the building by spraying fire extinguishers and striking them with shields and batons seized from the police. Around 30 police officials were injured in the process of restraining the protesters, according to police.
You can read more at the link, but the article says that 89 people were arrested. Now compare this to the massively more violent U.S. beef protests where only 13 people were arrested and President Moon ended up giving them a pardon.
Yoon has already been impeached there is is no need for this protest. Wait until the Constitutional Court renders its final decision on the impeachment before deciding to protest:
Tractors driven by a farmers’ group calling for President Yoon Suk Yeol’s arrest are stopped by police in southern Seoul on Dec. 21. [NEWS1]
A group of farmers headed into central Seoul aboard tractors to stage a protest for President Yoon Suk Yeol’s arrest were stopped by police on Saturday on the outskirts of the capital, causing severe traffic congestion.
Some 30 tractors and approximately 50 cargo trucks affiliated with the Korean Peasants League were prevented by police from traveling north of the Namtaeryeong pass in southern Seoul at 12 p.m., according to the farmer’s group and police.
The group had planned to stage a protest using tractors in front of Yoon’s residence in Yongsan District and Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul, but the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency restricted their entry, citing their demonstration’s potential impact on traffic.
You can read more at the link, but according to the article these protesters with their tractors were clogging up traffic in Seoul. Traffic is bad enough in Seoul without these idiots making it worse.

Protest against doctors’ walkout Members from the Federation of Korean Medical School Industry Trade Union hold a news conference in front of the National Assembly in Seoul on June 17, 2024, calling for doctors to withdraw their planned walkout in protest against a hike in the medical school enrollment. Professors at Seoul National University Medical School entered an indefinite walkout earlier in the day, and doctors across the nation are set to join an indefinite collective action organized by the Korean Medical Association. (Yonhap)
It is amazing how little these doctors in Seoul think of the Hippocratic Oath as they let patients go without care because of their own selfishness:
Doctors at major hospitals in Seoul and its neighboring areas have decided to stage indefinite walkouts, while medical professors resolved Wednesday to join community doctors in a one-day strike next week, demanding the suspension of a medical school quota hike.
In a meeting late Wednesday, professors from the country’s 40 medical schools decided to join the one-day general strike set for next Tuesday, organized by the biggest association of community doctors.
Kim Chang-soo, head of the Medical Professors Association of Korea, told Yonhap News Agency that the association has decided to join the strike, though he said it remains unclear how many professors will actually participate in the walkout.
