Solidarity tents for unemployed Ssangyong workers
This afternoon, a sea of tents will be going up in front of the Ssangyong Motor plant in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi. These "Hope Tents" are part of a battle by workers laid off by the automaker. These workers are joined by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, the Korean Metal Workers' Union, and civil society, for the withdrawal of the company's layoffs. Poised to capture voices from every segment of society, the tents represent social solidarity, just like the Hope Buses that helped bring about a resolution to the standoff at Hanjin Heavy Industries...

Also y'day afternoon, but in Seoul:
A dancer performs in honor of the lost souls at the joint memorial service for victims of Ssangyong Motor’s large scale layoffs held in front of Seoul Station, Seoul, Dec. 7. There are displayed the portraits of a total of 19 workers and their family members who took their own lives or died of stress diseases (Hankyoreh, 12.8)
More pics about the rally in Seoul and activities in Pyeongtaek you can see here!
But finally today in the morning riot cops attacked the "Hope Tent Village" in Pyeongtaek and arrested several activists:

North Korea's satirical magazine (to delude the public) Rodong Shinmun(로동신문) published y'day the following f*cking BS(*):
An atmosphere of supporting and defending Songun politics is mounting among all the south Koreans.
More than 400 articles lauding the Songun politics have been posted on Internet homepages a day despite the oppression by the fascist authorities. This shows the hot wind of supporting Songun politics sweeping south Korea.
South Koreans are unanimous in asserting that "unification of systems" is impossible even though the authorities pour huge taxes collected from people in escalating confrontation with compatriots but reunification by federal formula is possible if the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration are implemented.
South Korean people greatly yearn for socialist system centered on the popular masses in the north.
It is quite natural that people, living in the hell-like society where the dignity and rights of the working people are trampled down, long for the man-centered socialist system and turn out in the movement for reunification through alliance with north for a new politics and life.

* Here you can read the complete shit in Korean... if you're not residing in S. Korea, where the f*cking NIS(buzzkill!!) is blocking every funny(resp. lame-o) BS, coming from the North.
S. Korea lost today its "Democratic"(^^) Labor Party(민주노동당, KCTU's political wing) and got a 2nd "social"-democratic(i.e. anti-communist/anti-socialist) entity, aka "Unified 'Progressive'(^^) Party"(congrats!!!^^)...
"Rhyu Si-min, left, chairman of the People’s Participatory Party, Lee Jung-hee, center, chairwoman of the
Democratic Labor Party and Shim Sang-jeong join their hands to celebrate the launching of the
Unified Progressive Party during a joint conference held at the National Assembly..." (source: 민중의소리/연합)
Today's (reactionary)Korea Herald reported the following:
Minor left-wing parties unite for election
Three minor left-wing parties have merged to form a new progressive party to increase their chance of winning more seats in next year’s general election.
The leaders of the Democratic Labor Party, the People’s Participation Party and an offshoot of the New Progressive Party resolved to create the new Unified Progressive Party on Monday.
The group officially separated itself from mainstream consolidation efforts led by the main opposition Democratic Party and the political activists’ group Integration and Innovation.
The new party’s chairmanship is to be jointly held by the three leaders ― the DLP’s Lee Jung-hee, the PPP’s Rhyu Si-min and the PNP group’s Sim Sang-jeong. Its headquarters will be located within the DLP’s former office in Yeouido.
The merger process will be completed at the party’s inauguration convention slated for mid-January, according to officials.
Also, those who aspire to run in the April 11 general elections may start registering as the UPP’s backup candidates from next Tuesday.
The new party currently holds seven parliamentary seats and hopes to increase the number to at least 20, the minimum for a party to form a floor negotiation group in the assembly.
The UPP hinted that it may consider forming an alliance with the DP-led group in the upcoming elections, but said a fundamental inter-party integration is unlikely, despite the DP’s earlier efforts to unite the entire left-wing camp.
Opposition parties have engaged in unity talks this year, particularly after the Oct. 26 Seoul mayoral by-election in which the DP-backed independent Park Won-soon defeated ruling Grand National Party nominess Na Kyung-won.
