Amid widespread anger over the murder of George Floyd by a white police officer, a demonstration will be held in Seoul to remember him.

On the 4th, citizens were discussing on SNS to organize a George Floyd march on the afternoon of the 6th (KST) to march quietly from Seoul City Hall to the U.S Embassy in Seoul. 

The proposer of the event Shim Ji-hoon (34) wrote, "We haven't held any of these types of demonstrations in Asia, including Korea. We want to commemorate Floyd who was killed because of racism and join forces with U.S protests. Citizens who want to participate can gather in front of Exit 5 of City Hall by 4pm on the 6th."

1. [+5,809, -59] Why do we have to solve America's issues in our country? We need to socially distance because of the Corona so why do you keep gathering??
2. [+4,805, -67] Haven't you ever been to America? Do you have any idea how much they ridicule and discriminate against Asians (Korea, Japan, China)? Are you an attention seeker...why do something so useless..rat..
3. [+3,707, -67] Didn't you see what happened in Hong Kong?
4. [+370, -0] It's Memorial day that day, please remember the meaning of the ceremony and stay quiet
5. [+356, -1] Why do this in our country? Why do we have to? The United States hates Asians because of the Corona, do I need to go around wearing a mask on our city now? Are you crazy?!!
6. [+271, -1] If you're that serious about it why not go to the States...don't pretend to act woke here..
7. [+215, -0] If you're a Korean, let's just protest against the looting by black people
8. [+197, -0] These human rights activists are more worried about black people instead of the medical staff fighting the Corona..act right seriously..
9. [+148, -14] Left-wingers grasping at straws once again...get the corona s*** out of here first. In the U.S the implied racial sequence is white -> black - 히 Hispanic -> Asian. But why do black people rob Asian shops first when they riot? The lowest class is black human rightsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
10. [+137, -0] What group is truly leading this? I don't think their intentions are pure. The Hong Kong issue has gone silent. And this is to raise anti-American sentimentㅋㅋ. What about the issue of black people looking down on Asians. Don't be ridiculous.
