Ask what Korea is talking about.

Over 400,000 people rallied across France on October 24, 2026, protesting school funding and soaring living costs, with clashes erupting in Paris and other cities as the march ended. The government deployed 70,000 police and imposed restrictions, but masked protesters and riot police clashed in Paris and Marseille, according to Chosun Ilbo. The Dong-A Ilbo reports the government counted 410,000 participants, while the CGT union claimed 800,000, and about 1,000 arrests were made. Korea Times notes that luxury boutiques boarded up windows and major museums closed to prevent a repeat of last week's looting and violence, which caused hundreds of millions in damage and nearly 2,400 arrests.
