Members of a pan-national committee on the Yongsan tragedy hold a demonstration to urge the government and the Samsung Group to come to a resolution, Dec. 14.

Members are faced towards the Samsung main building located near Seoul’s Gangnam subway station because the company is being partially-blamed for mobilizing the private demolition team and forced evictions as part of its plans to construct a new building at what became the site of the Yongsan tragedy that took the lives of five civilians and one police officer on Jan. 20.
