Catholics in Seoul have initiated the 'Gwanghwamun Mass Against Nuclear Power Plants,' a series of public Masses from February 13 to March 6, ahead of the 15th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster on March 11. The opening Mass was held in Jongno-gu, Seoul, focusing on halting the extension of aging nuclear plants and reconsidering new nuclear projects.

Father Yang Ki-seok criticized the government’s nuclear policy and proposed renewable energy alternatives like solar and wind power. The initiative also includes a call for ecological awareness and the protection of human dignity, culminating in a Mass for denuclearization led by Bishop Kang Woo-il on March 11.
