Protests Near Ex-President Moon’s Home to Banned Starting this Week
President Yoon is probably thinking ahead to when he exits office and I am sure he does not want a bunch of leftist protesters outside his retirement home:
Rallies around the home of former President Moon Jae-in will be banned starting Monday as the Presidential Security Service expanded the guard zone for the former president amid persistent noisy and menacing protests.
The decision to ban rallies within 300 meters from Moon’s home in Yangsan, about 310 kilometers southeast of Seoul, came after President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered the secret service to consider strengthening security for his predecessor following a suggestion from National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin-pyo.
Since Moon left office in May after a five-year term, his home has been plagued day and night by raucous loudspeaker demonstrations by right-wing protesters and YouTubers opposed to the way he ran the country.
Last week, one protester was arrested after making threats with a box cutter in front of Moon’s home.

Part of me thinks it’s a violation of the freedoms of speech and assembly to ban such protests, but (1) this sounds less like a ban and more like a mere expansion of a zone of privacy, and (2) when I think back to what Brett Kavanaugh went through, I can kind of understand such a measure. It’s the constant tug-of-war between speech/assembly and privacy. Whatever his perceived faults, at least Moon didn’t totally Biden up Korea’s economy.
Commie Moon encouraged and directed protest at the home of his political enemies. Anyway, this criminal dog needs to be in prison for his role in the coup against the rightful president of South Korea; President Park.
As every Korean knows Kim Kunhee invited right wing Youtubers to her husband’s inauguration.

And we all know that the protestors near former Pres, Moon’s house are you guessed it right wing Youtubers.
It seems someone with wits advised Yoon that if someone should put two and two together, it will be a matter of time before people start assuming that his wife and even the President himself may have encouraged the Youtubers to protest outside of Moon’s house.
So, what better way to deflect possible criticism than to ban the protests.
I am not a fan of protesting at people’s homes because it is not only disturbing the homeowner’s family, but the entire neighborhood is being disrupted by the behavior. If people want to protest they should go protest to a nearby local park where they won’t be a disturbance to the entire community.
