On May 15, 16, and 17, 2020, young people in their 20s and 30s wearing black clothing and masks held a silent protest at Gangnam Station (in Seoul), demanding the truth about the April 15th election’s apparent fraudulent results.  National Assemblyman Min Kyung-Wook (민경욱) of United Future Party (미래통합당) gave a speech during the “black protest” and cheered them.

More than 1,000 young people came out and protested almost every day in Seoul, Suwon, and Busan.  A group of university students in connection with the Seoul National University’s Truth Forum meeting and the students from Korea University have been actively participating in the Black Protest. 

It is notable that these young people in their 20s and 30s, who were not interested in politics, were angry at the fraudulent elections that undermined democracy and voluntarily held the protest.  Black protests are movements in which young people wear black clothes, black masks, and black umbrellas to resist unfair elections. The black color means “death of democracy,” and the black umbrella means “young people’s resistance to fraudulent elections.”

  1. No check and balance in South Korea. Medias and Youtube is censored by government. No major newspaper and TV reported about 415 election fraud. No political party want to mention about fraudalent election even though lots of direct and indirect evidence. Actually it looks like there is ONLY one political party in Korea.
