Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, in Sejong City, the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union (KTU) under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) conducted a peaceful protest defending a teacher under investigation for remarks related to President Yoon Seok-yeol's impeachment. The small-scale demonstration took the form of a press conference and picketing in front of the education office, with limited direct impact on supply chains.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Sejong City administrative district: Peaceful protest in the administrative center where Government Complex Sejong is located, with potential for temporary delays in official and administrative work
• Education service sector: Despite being a teachers' union protest, no class suspensions or educational infrastructure disruptions were reported
• Regional transportation: Minor potential impact on traffic flow near Sejong City Council, but distant from major logistics routes
• Manufacturing·logistics: Limited manufacturing base in Sejong City and separation from major logistics hubs result in minimal impact on industrial supply chains

3) Watch points

• Need to observe potential additional solidarity rallies by KTU and KCTU or nationwide expansion
• Monitor results of Sejong City education office investigation and subsequent responses by teacher organizations
