Ask what Korea is talking about.

France is deploying some 70,000 police and gendarmes nationwide ahead of large protests expected this weekend, with armored vehicles and special elite units also mobilized, Yonhap reports. Luxury boutiques have boarded up windows and added guards, some planning to stay closed after rioters looted shops last weekend, while major museums like the Louvre will close for the day, according to Chosun Ilbo. President Emmanuel Macron vowed to prevent a repeat of the violence and dismissed foreign criticism as "stupid" and "unacceptable," the Korea Times reports. Authorities have also imposed bans or restrictions on fresh protests in multiple cities after the weekend's clashes and looting, which marked France's most violent unrest in years.
