00:00Meanwhile, in South Korea, on Saturday, simultaneous marches took place in Seoul, the capital,
00:05to show support or rejection on the arrest of former President Jun Suk-kyo.
00:11There is an ongoing political crisis in South Korea since President Jun Suk-kyo was ousted
00:16by parliamentary opposition after declaring martial law, which he claimed was an act to
00:20save democracy.
00:22Hundreds of citizens demonstrated in support of the president and urged the Constitutional
00:26Court to dismiss the case against him and set him free.
00:29But there was another group of citizens who expressed their rejection to the former president
00:33and demanded he be impeached and punished for decreeing martial law December 2024.
00:43For the freedom of our country, I support President Jun Suk-kyo who secures liberal
00:47democracy.
00:51I believe that if the president's approval rating surpasses 60 to 70 percent, all the
00:56wrongs in this country will be corrected, the fraudulent elections will be rectified,
01:00impeachment will be dismissed, and this country will become new and great again.
01:06Those who caused the rebellion including the leader have not yet received proper punishment
01:11or trial.
01:16I hope that the judicial authorities will swiftly address this issue and bring an end
01:20to the rebellion.
01:22Once the situation ends, I hope that the forces of rebellion will be sidelined and the remaining
01:28politicians, along with the civil society, unite to discuss how to rebuild crumbled South
01:33Korea.
