According to the industry on the 2nd, Hyundai E&C and Hyundai Engineering, located about 100 meters from the Constitutional Court, issued an internal notice for all employees to work from home on the day of the ruling. Only essential personnel for building security and emergency situations will report to the office. The company noted that this decision was made for the safety of the employees.

On that day, large-scale protests are expected near the Constitutional Court. Some employees of HD Hyundai, who work at the Hyundai E&C office, will also work from home or report to the Pangyo office on that day.

SK Ecoplant and SK Eco Engineering, whose headquarters are near Anguk Station, designated the 4th as a joint annual leave day for all employees before the ruling date was set. The company plans to close on that day as originally scheduled.
