A group of farmers are in a standoff with police in southern Seoul for a second day on Sunday as they attempted to enter Seoul to stage a protest against President Yoon Suk Yeol.

According to the Korean Peasants League on Sunday, about 30 tractors and some 50 cargo trucks attempted to enter Seoul around noon the previous day but were stopped by police near Namtaeryeong Pass in southern Seoul.

For more than 23 hours, the two sides were at odds in the area, with civilians joining the farmers in demanding that the police dismantle the barricades and Yoon be impeached.

The farmers' group said that it plans to hold a rally at 2 p.m. Sunday at the location to demand Yoon's arrest.

The farmers had planned to drive their tractors for a march to Yoon's residence and Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul to join a rally, but the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency did not approve it, citing its potential impact on traffic.

Police then blocked a road near the pass by lining up buses, causing severe traffic congestion in the area.
