We continue to advise exercise normal safety precautions in South Korea. Given the evolving domestic political situation, large crowds and protests are expected in Seoul and elsewhere around the country. Avoid protests and demonstrations. In Seoul, crowds may be concentrated in the vicinity of the National Assembly (Yeouido), Gwanghwamun Square, the Constitutional Court (Anguk) and other district court buildings, near the Presidential Office (Samgakji) and Presidential Residence (Hannam-dong) and, on university campuses or elsewhere. Police presence is expected to be high. Traffic, public transport and other essential services may be disrupted. Monitor the media for updates and follow the advice of local authorities (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in South Korea.
