Employees of Asiana Airlines, the country’s second-largest carrier and part of Kumho Asiana Group, will hold their second protest to demand group’s chief Park Sam-koo to step down.
The labor union of Asiana will gather again on the steps of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, at 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Following the rally, from 7:30 p.m., the protesters will walk to the adjacent Kumho Asiana headquarters.

Following the rally, from 7:30 p.m., the protesters will walk to the adjacent Kumho Asiana headquarters.
The protesters claim that the “No-meal fiasco” was predictable, and that Park and the rest of the management were responsible for the crisis.
“While Chairman Park enjoyed a hot meal, the passengers were served no meal. Flight staff worked on an empty stomach,” a protester had said at the previous rally that took place on Friday at the same spot.
Some 300 employees of Asiana were present on Friday in Guy Fawkes masks, sunglasses and masks. These protesters took a moment to mourn for the death of the CEO of an Asiana meal subcontractor, who had taken his life under the pressure to supply Asiana with in-flight meals.
