South Koreans gather outside the Ministry of National Defense to protest the intelligence sharing deal with Japan.

Protesters oppose the general security of the military information agreement.

Many describe the deal as a betrayal of the country and urge the people not to forget the history of colonial past.

Member of the National Assembly of South Korea Kim Jong Dae points out the deal is paving the road for the terminal high altitude area defense system which makes South Korea a forward position for the United States.

The deal was once suspended in 2012 due to widespread opposition but was finally signed on Wednesday.
