• Members of the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) are slated to hold a gathering outside Exit 9 of Hongik University Station (also known as Hongdae Station) in Seoul at 12:00 (local time) on June 1.  
• The gathering will be held to mobilize support for candidate Kwon Young-gook ahead of the Presidential Election slated for June 3.  

The turnout at the slated gathering is likely to range between the mid-to-high dozens, based on the DLP’s mobilizing capabilities. The authorities are liable to maintain bolstered security measures in the vicinity of the Hongik Station area, in line with standard security protocols, particularly considering the proximity of the gathering to the election. These measures are likely to include police deployment and barricades placement. Based on precedent from previous gatherings organized by the DLP, the gathering is likely to transpire peacefully. Localized travel disruptions in the vicinity of the Hongik Station area are anticipated during the slated gathering hours on June 1. 

Those operating or residing in Seoul on June 1 are advised to allot for disruptions in the vicinity of the Hongik University Station due to the slated gathering.
