More than 10 tractors from the Jeon Bong-jun struggle team of the Korean Peasant League (JeonNong) set out to protest in Seoul with tractors, urging the arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol, and began moving toward the president's residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul.
The Emergency Action for Yoon Suk-yeol's Immediate Resignation and Social Reform (hereinafter referred to as the Emergency Action) announced on the 22nd that JeonNong had agreed with the police to move more than 10 tractors across Dongjak Bridge to the front of the president's residence. The Emergency Action stated, 'We will march from Namtaeryeong Station with more than 10 tractors along with all participants to Sadang Station,' and noted, 'From Sadang Station, the tractors will continue marching on the road toward the residence, while participants will travel to the residence by subway from Sadang Station.'
JeonNong attempted to enter Seoul through Gwacheon-daero around noon the previous day, with more than 30 tractors and 50 trucks, but was blocked by the police near Namtaeryeong Pass in Bangbae-dong, Seoul, and has since remained in a standoff. Among them, three tractors succeeded in entering Seoul but returned to Namtaeryeong after being blocked by the police at Dongjak Bridge. The police, who had blocked the protestors with buses since noon the previous day, withdrew from Namtaeryeong at about 4:40 p.m. today.
