Southbound trains on Seoul Subway Line 4 are bypassing Hyehwa Station without stopping due to a subway boarding protest by the Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination (SADD), starting at around 8:42 AM today (August 3).

SADD has been staging a boarding protest on the platform at Hyehwa Station heading toward Dongdaemun Station since 8:00 AM today.

Seoul Metro sent out a safety alert text message stating, "Due to the rally and protest, southbound trains on Line 4 (bound for Sadang) are currently passing through Hyehwa Station without stopping."
