Behind the protests is Pro North Korean activists who also organized mass protests against Canadian/American beef over mad-cow disease concern.   Of course, the concern could not have been far from the truth, and yet they managed to spread false claims, triggering outrage among the general population.   I went to a university over there where 10~20% of the students were communists or North Korean regime followers back then.   Most of them became career activists whose job is to incite mass protests on going basis.   They are also backed by North Korean regime directly and indirectly.  Samsung is always their target.   When things settle, we will find out, as always has been, that there was not much to see in the first place.   The general public will forget and move on.
