Because of a protest by the Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination (SADD), a westbound Line 5 train bound for Banghwa did not stop at Yeouinaru Station for about 30 minutes on the morning of the 26th.

Seoul Metro announced at about 8:38 a.m. that "due to a current rally and protest, Line 5 trains bound for Banghwa are passing through Yeouinaru Station without stopping." The nonstop pass-through ended at about 9:15 a.m., and trains are now running normally.

Starting around 8 a.m., SADD activists tried to board trains at Yeouinaru Station and faced off with police. During this process, some train operations were delayed.

SADD has been conducting a campaign during the morning commute on subways, calling on the government to secure a budget for disability rights.
