A student is speaking against the South Korean re-dispatch to Afghanistan.
By clicking the photo for the larger view, one can see the flag of the Stars and Stripes, in front of the United States embassy bldg. ( a white bldg., second from the right).

Some right wing people attempted to harass the people in the press interview. Police were eager to block them
from the site of the press interview, for the fear of violence by them against the latter.
The issue of the violence by the right wing people has been heightened since the launch of
the Lee Myung Bak government, as they have been heavily supported by it.
