Because of a protest by the National Solidarity for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (Jeon Jang Yeon), a southbound Line No. 4 train to Oido skipped Hyehwa Station on the 27th morning.
Seoul Metro announced at about 8:25 a.m. that "due to the current rally and protest, Line No. 4 trains (to Oido) are passing Hyehwa Station without stopping." The skip-stopping ended at about 8:53 a.m., and service is now back to normal.
Jeon Jang Yeon activists tried to board trains at Hyehwa Station from around 8 a.m., facing off with police. During the process, some train boarding was delayed.
This was at least the 10th time this year that trains have skipped stations due to Jeon Jang Yeon's boarding protests. Hyehwa Station, near the group's office, has had the most with three through today, and there have also been skip-stops at Seoul Station on Line No. 1; Dongdaemun Station and Seonbawi Station on Line No. 4; and Gwanghwamun Station and Yeouinaru Station on Line No. 5.
Skip-stops have become frequent since Nov. 5, when Jeon Jang Yeon signaled an intensified campaign to ensure adequate disability rights funding in the 2026 budget bill. There have been even more cases of train operations being delayed due to boarding protests.
