"After opening a direct subway line between Seoul and Chuncheon, tourists seemed irritated by a red-light district near the line. Chuncheon city unilaterally wants to close the district without prior notification or compromise. Therefore, we're here to say we can't accept it."

"There's no place we can stand up within the domestic law. It's only pushing us out without any efforts of embracing us. We have nowhere to go, so we're here to keep our right to live, making our living, working, eating and sleeping possible."
