Do you have any more information on this event? I'm assuming that it is either a pro or anti U.S. rally, and not just a million Korean men congregating?

Thanks for posting this, That was a huge crowd

The blue banner behind the stage clearly says "We love the Republic of Korea." Quite a sprinkling of American flags toward the end, also.

That did my heart good to see the South Korean crowd and their anti-nuclear, pro-American sentiments. This was evident from the huge Korean and American flags carried and by the smaller flags waving, plus anti-nuclear signs. I can't comment authoritatively on the numbers, but it looked like a whole lot of people to me.
