Because of a protest by the National Solidarity for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (NSEDPD), a subway Line No. 4 southbound train passed through Hyehwa Station without stopping on the morning of the 17th.
Seoul Metro announced at about 8:30 a.m. that "due to the current rally and protest, Line No. 4 Hyehwa Station (southbound) trains are passing through without stopping." The pass-through without stopping wrapped up at about 9:30 a.m., and service is now operating normally.
NSEDPD activists began attempting to board trains at Hyehwa Station at about 8 a.m. and faced off with police. During this, some southbound train service was delayed.
NSEDPD has been conducting publicity campaigns on the morning commute subways, calling on the government to secure a budget for disability rights.
