A subway train operator's pep talk to passengers heading toward central Seoul Saturday evening to join a massive anti-president rally is going viral.
According to stories on social media, an operator of subway line 5's train spoke on the microphone as his train approached Gwanghwamun Station, the closest to the protest site.
"We are approaching Gwanghwamun, which is covered with candlelights," he said, referring to a candlelit vigil-style rally there. "I wish good luck to those who will leave at this station. And I hope you will play a role for the Republic of Korea."
Many who heard the words wrote that they were "deeply touched."
