The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 17th that it will close Anguk Station on subway line 3 on the day of the impeachment ruling for President Yoon Suk Yeol. Anguk Station is close to the Constitutional Court, the location of the impeachment trial, and the closure is a precaution against a potential influx of crowds. Although the Constitutional Court has completed its arguments in the impeachment trial of President Yoon, it has not yet announced the ruling schedule.
The city, fire, and police departments will operate a citizen safety management center for three days before, on, and after the ruling for President Yoon's impeachment trial. During this period, if crowds gather at subway stations in Seoul, trains will either bypass the stations without stopping or the entrances will be closed. Additionally, city buses will either bypass or take temporary detours around Anguk Station, Gwanghwamun Intersection, Sejong-daero Intersection, Yeouido-daero, and Hannam-dong.
Crowd management at major demonstration sites will be conducted using closed-circuit television (CCTV). Medical stations will be set up at Anguk Station, Cheonggye Plaza, Hannam-dong, and Yeouido. The city plans to deploy a maximum of 1,300 personnel for this purpose. Kim Seong-bo, the Deputy Mayor for Administrative Affairs of Seoul, noted that "large-scale urban gatherings are anticipated before and after the impeachment ruling day," and he requested understanding for the measures taken to ensure citizen safety.
