Anchor Protests blocking the vote counting station in Jamsil, Seoul, to protest the ballot shortage crisis are continuing for the third day. During the all-night protest that continued until dawn today (the 7th), voices demanding a re-election poured in, accompanied by criticism of the poor election management. Reporter Ahn Hee-jae reports. Reporter Numerous citizens gathered in front of the Olympic Park Handball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, which serves as the vote counting station for Jamsil 7-dong. The citizens blocked the stadium's eight entrances and raised their voices while shouting slogans. [Re-election, re-election.] The protest condemning the 'ballot shortage' crisis, which began around 10 a.m. the day before yesterday (the 5th) as the ballot boxes for Jamsil 7-dong were moved, has entered its third day today. It is estimated that over 30,000 people gathered, ranging from young adults and the elderly to families pushing strollers. There were no physical clashes. [Please open the front for a moment. Thank you.] Most of the participants in this protest, which lacks a specific organizer, are estimated to be in their 20s and 30s. They are voluntarily providing and sharing food, drinks, and signs reading "Re-election." Participants displayed notices throughout the area stating they "do not accept donations" or "reject party intervention." They also urged the public not to "incite or be incited," emphasizing that protecting the right to vote is the top priority. [Please leave any objects that could pose a threat, such as batons, outside before entering.] Just as they had previously done to People Power Party figures or some conservative YouTubers who claimed election fraud, the participants also booed Representative Lee Jun-seok of the New Reform Party, who visited the site early this morning. It was reported that some National Election Commission (NEC) staff members, who had been trapped by the blockade protest, managed to leave the counting station, but the NEC stated that it could not confirm whether this was true.
