Seoul is silent. There are no cheers to celebrate the coming of a new year. It is solemn. The bosingak bell rings into the darkness, in remembrance, to mourn the victims who lost their lives in the tragic plane crash and to wish their souls find peace

“Something that almost made me cry while protesting: The old man next to me was getting angry at his friends scolding them for wanting to go home, saying that even young kids are protesting to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol so they can’t go home.”
