Calling on President Moon to fulfill his campaign promise to reinstate their jobs, members of the Korean Government Employees’ Union held a demonstration outside of the Seoul Government offices in Jongno on Jan. 3. 136 union members had been dismissed by the Park Geun-hye administration, and then-candidate Moon had promised to rehire these workers during last year’s presidential campaign. The signs read, “President Moon Jae-in, immediately implement your pledge to reinstate the fired workers.” (by Shin So-young, staff photographer)
