The Seoul Administrative Court has approved a drive-through rally involving less than 10 vehicles.
The ruling, issued Thursday, clears the way for conservatives to hold a small-scale drive-through rally in the capital this weekend.
Nine people, each in their cars, will be allowed to hold a rally for two hours, but they cannot lower their windows or chant slogans.
They are also prohibited from holding a face-to-face meeting or contact before and after the rally.
There are worries that civic gatherings could undermine national efforts to manage the coronavirus crisis.
Earlier, Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun warned demonstrators they could have their driver's licenses suspended if they use their cars to hold protests on National Foundation Day this Saturday.
Thousands of people held an anti-government rally in central Seoul on Liberation Day last month that contributed to a resurgence of COVID-19 locally and across the country.
