Current situation at Olympic Park: Some protesters intend to continue until the end

In the area around the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, where protests to blockade counting stations have been ongoing following the shortage of ballot papers during the June 3 local elections, assembly facilities such as tents and canopies are being removed one after another.
This is because ballot papers that have completed public verification are being moved out, and the park management has requested assembly participants to voluntarily dismantle their setups. However, since some participants maintain their position to continue the protest, it is expected to take some time before the area is completely cleared.
When visited around 8:00 AM on the 6th, Olympic Park appeared to be returning to its usual daily routine. The walking paths were colored with autumn foliage, and citizens were jogging or walking their dogs along paths covered in fallen leaves. Some citizens were wearing thick padded jackets, while some families came for picnics with mats.
Assembly facilities around the Handball Gymnasium have noticeably decreased. Most of the tents installed in the 'Introvert Zone' on the first floor of the gymnasium have been removed, leaving only one or two, and stickers related to election fraud that were attached to the ticket booth in front of Gate 2-4 have also been removed.
Citizens visiting the park were also feeling the change. Park visitor Park Min-jin (33) said, "Previously, there were so many tents near the gymnasium that it was difficult to walk, but now it seems like a lot of them have definitely been cleared away."
A woman in her 30s living near Olympic Park said, "The tents make it inconvenient when I'm exercising, so I hope they are all removed quickly."
