Like in the US and many other countries activists in Seoul are planning for next Saturday to "occupy" the capital to protest against "protest financial inequality" as they "will join the global movement and gather the voices of desperate Koreans" (Yonhap, 10.13). But there are a lot of other groups/organizations who also will use this day for their protest, but not just against the "bad effects of the capitalist society"... They just want to take the streets to FIGHT against CAPITALISM in keeping with the motto The (capitalist) system has no errors, the system IS the error!. 

Members of civic groups hold a press conference at Seoul Plaza in downtown Seoul, Wednesday, to announce a planned rally similar to the “Occupy Wall Street” protests. They will hold their first “Occupy Seoul” rally in Yeouido (*), Saturday, against financial firms criticized for making excessive profits at the sacrifice of consumers. (K. Times, 10.13)
Other social organizations also plan to have a rally at Seoul Plaza at the same time. All the groups will then gather at Seoul Plaza to hold an “Occupy Seoul” protest at 6 p.m. (Hankyoreh, 10.13)

* complete pointless, because on the weekend (incl. Sat.) there is no one! The banks are closed (because of strong unions!!), the Nat'l Assambly is also deserted (because they don't like to 'work'^^!!) and nobody is living there...
