Protests U.S. Treatment Of Korean Workers And $350 Billion Demands In Seoul

Dancer Jang Soon-hyang performs a protest across from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, on September 30, 2025, holding up handcuffs to criticize the reported detention and shackling of South Korean laborers in the United States last August. Behind her, civic activists hold a banner reading, ''Is the Alliance a Pushover? Stop Forcing $350 Billion Deals!'' The demonstrators call on the Trump Administration to ''Respect Korean Dignity!'' as they protest both the alleged human rights abuses against Korean workers and U.S. economic coercion.
