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.
