Myeong-dong "redevelopment" zone, resp. DISASTER area (because it is a disaster for the affected tenants and Seoul's urban development!!): Impressions from yesterday...
...and today (the same "building" as above):
Only the day before y'day the "owner" of the small grocery (just round the corner of "Jeukseok Kimbab"/즉석김밥) said that the house where his store is located will be remaining at least for the next three years... But today the situation changed completely:
So, as you can see, the situation on the "frontline" becomes more and more unstably and dangerous for the remaining tenants in Myeong-dong's DISASTER area.
Pics of the day - today's "highlights" in Myeong-dong(^^)
The "protection wall" shows the first signs of disintegration(^^):
Impressions(*) from today's press conference(**) to denounce gangsters', hired by Daewoo Construction (mafia!), violent repression against tenants who are resisting the so-called "redevelopment" plan in Myeong-dong:

And ultimately they just tried to provoke us!!

용역깡패는 영어로 thug이 아니라 errand men이라고 합니다. 심부름꾼이라는 뜻이죠. 누가 보낸.기업이 thugs를 고용했다 하면, 원래 thugs가 있었고 그 thugs를 현장에 투입시켰다는 말인데, 이것은 범죄에 해당하고 그래서 멀쩡한 사람들을 투입시킨겁니다.

이 글이 지난 6월 LA 타임즈에 실린 노점상 철거단속 용역 관련 기사 중 일부입니다.S. Korean errand men operate in shadows
Landlords, businessmen, and even a Seoul city office, are turning to so-called errand men, hired street muscle, to resolve property disputes the police won't, such as chasing away squatters or street vendors.
June 26, 2011|By John M. Glionna, Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Seoul — In South Korea, they're known as "errand men": hired street muscle who play often-violent mercenary roles in property disputes that law enforcement agencies refuse to handle.
Their ranks are filled by physically fit young men who, critics allege, lurk in the gray area of the law, using violence and intimidation to assert the will of clients such as landlords, businessmen and even the government .
"The government has realized that it's not a good idea to clash with everyday citizens over these profitable redevelopment projects, so they hire someone else to do the job," said No Gi-deok, president of the Korean Coalition for Housing Rights. "South Korea has a bad reputation over these forced evictions, and the government is just turning its head. It's absolutely embarrassing."
