Friday's incident occurred two weeks before the G-20 summit in Seoul. The G-20 includes industrialized nations and developing economies, which focus on economic issues and economic policy coordination.

Authorities said a total of 50,000 police and riot police will be deployed during the summit on November 11 and 12, according to Yonhap.

Gerald · 10-30-10, 03:13 PM

Throughout Korea approx. 72 million citizens .... but I guess you're referring to something completely different....
