Thousands of South Koreans gathered in Seoul on October 3rd to express solidarity with Israel. The demonstration, held during the Sukkot holiday, coincided with Gaecheonjeol, South Korea's national foundation day, which commemorates the founding of the ancient Gojoseon kingdom in 2333 BCE. Participants waved the flags of both South Korea and Israel and chanted messages of support, including the Korean phrase "대한민국은 이스라엘을 지지합니다!" (South Korea supports Israel) and the English slogan "Korea stands with Israel." The event aimed to convey a clear message of empathy and support for Israel, emphasizing that "Israel is not alone," despite the geographical distance from Jerusalem. The timing was particularly significant, as South Koreans reflected on their national roots and identity.
