The Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination (SADD) staged a subway boarding protest during the morning commute on the 3rd, leading trains to pass without stopping at Hyehwa Station on Line 4 and Noryangjin Station on Line 1 in Seoul.

Seoul Metro said via a safety alert text around 8:50 a.m. that "due to the current rally and protest, trains are passing through Hyehwa Station on Line 4 without stopping on the down line (toward Sadang), so please take note."

Next, the up line (toward Seoul Station) at Noryangjin Station on Line 1 has also been passing without stopping since around 9:20 a.m. Only the Yongsan Express trains are stopping at Noryangjin Station.

SADD launched its "70th morning commute subway boarding" protest from 8 a.m. that day. SADD is demanding that the 2027 government budget plan include funding for disability rights, among other items.
