South Korea: protestors wear fantastic masks in history books protest

by | 5th, December 2015

In Seoul, South Korea, during the anti-government rally on December 5 2015, demonstrators gathered on the streets of Seoul to protest against the government’s decision to adopt new history textbooks and reform the labor market. The police banned the demo. The protest carried on regardless.

They wore some cracking masks. A few did wear those smug V for Vendetta horrors. But others tried harder:
