South Korea — 시위: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 30, 2025, approximately 6,000 protesters gathered in multiple locations across Seoul's Jongno district, including rallies by Sarang Jeil Church near Gwanghwamun Station opposing President Yoon's impeachment, alongside demonstrations by conservative groups and the Gyeonggi Medical Association. The protests were characterized as peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. While the protests occurred in Seoul's central district, the peaceful nature and contained scope suggest minimal immediate disruption to supply chain operations.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or expansion of protests that could affect Seoul's transportation networks or government district access
• Track potential follow-on demonstrations that might impact broader economic activity if political tensions intensify
