Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, the Chungbuk Conservative Citizens' Union (a pro-Yoon group) held a peaceful demonstration in front of the Cheongju Chungcheongbuk-do Election Commission. They demanded the dissolution of the election commission in relation to the background of President Yoon Seok-yeol's martial law declaration, and the current risk level is 'low' with limited immediate supply-chain risks.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Minimal regional logistics impact: No confirmed cases of traffic blockages or logistics disruptions due to peaceful demonstrations in the Cheongju area
• Political instability monitoring: Potential for escalation to large-scale protests if political conflicts related to martial law continue
• Chungcheong region manufacturers observation: The Cheongju area is concentrated with semiconductor and automotive parts manufacturing, raising concerns of indirect impact on production activities if political tensions escalate
• Domestic consumer sentiment variable: Potential psychological contraction effects on domestic consumer goods distribution networks if political protests spread

3. Watch points

• Protest scale expansion: Need to track trends of solidarity protests by conservative groups in other regions or development into large-scale rallies
• Political conflict escalation indicators: Observe spillover effects of martial law-related political confrontations on economic activities or major industrial complex operations
