2019 Seoul protest footage misrepresented as showing protests this October

A video circulating online misused footage of 2019 protests calling for South Korean Justice Minister Cho Kuk to step down, claiming it showed protests on Oct. 3, 2026, demanding the impeachment of President Lee Jae-myung. Fact-checking found that several rallies did take place in Seoul that day in 2026, but turnout was only in the tens of thousands, not the “millions” claimed online; the footage was from an earlier news event.
