Shopkeepers in the Gwanghwamun area of central Seoul filed a compensation lawsuit on Thursday against the organizers of the anti-American beef rallies over the loss of business caused by the protests.
Some 115 merchants are seeking W15 million (US$1=W1,013) per person with W10 million in terms of compensation and W5 million in damages.
According to the retail owners in the downtown core the massive candlelight rallies that often led to violent clashes between demonstrators and police have led to a drop in the number of consumers visiting the area.
