• Members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) announced multiple election-related gatherings across Seoul on June 2. 
• The locations of these gatherings in Seoul include Gwanghwamun Square at 07:30 (local time), outside Jonggak Station at 11:00, near the Gwanghwamun Haetae Statue at 14:00, outside the Hanwha Building at 18:30, and outside the Bosingak Bell Pavilion at 19:40 and 20:20 on the day.  
• These gatherings will be held to mobilize support for Democratic Labor Party (DLP) candidate Kwon Young-gook ahead of the Presidential Election slated for June 3. 

The turnout at the slated gatherings is likely to be in the high dozens, based on the KCTU’s mobilizing capabilities. The authorities are expected to maintain bolstered security measures in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations, as per standard precautionary protocols, particularly considering South Korea’s highly politicized environment and the proximity of the upcoming election. These measures are likely to include police deployment to monitor protest proceedings. The gatherings are expected to transpire peacefully, based on precedent. Localized disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic are expected in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations during the slated protest hours on June 2 due to anticipated turnout and associated security measures.  

Those operating or residing in Seoul on June 2 are advised to allot for disruptions in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the slated gatherings.
