Approximately 60 demonstrators gathered near the United States embassy in Seoul to voice their opposition to potential South Korean military involvement in the Strait of Hormuz. The protesters displayed placards and chanted slogans, characterizing the ongoing tensions in the Middle East as an illegal conflict initiated by Washington. They explicitly urged the South Korean government to refrain from sending troops to the region, citing concerns over the safety of their citizens and the nature of the mission. This demonstration follows recent pressure from the United States for allies to assist in securing the vital waterway, which serves as a critical route for global oil shipments. The activists gathered outside the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts to express their firm stance against participating in what they described as a war of aggression.
