On the 15th, when Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was sentenced to violating the election law, the area around the Seoul Central District Court was crowded with members of progressive and conservative groups.

Rough remarks were made toward each other, and a man was arrested for throwing shoes at CEO Lee.

A similar rally is scheduled on the day of Lee's sentencing of perjury teacher, which will take place 10 days after that.

First, the police decided to separate the two sides and put in a task force to maintain order.

The court has also greatly strengthened security in preparation for possible safety accidents.

First, the court decided to deploy additional security management personnel and strengthen security checks.

The court gates are partially closed and ordinary vehicles except essential business vehicles are not allowed to enter the building, forcing the trial parties to move faster than usual.

The court, where the representative Lee's sentence is held, has been moved from a small court with about 30 seats to a medium court with about 100 seats.

This is because it is more convenient to manage the movement, and in the case of Lee's representative trial, only those who have the right to attend the court can enter the court.
