Today, a significant number of people, ranging from middle and high school students down to elementary school pupils, are aware of election fraud. In fact, not knowing about election fraud has reached the point where one might not even be considered properly informed.

Recently, there have been many incidents that confirm the growing awareness of the election fraud issue.

I mainly use public transportation, specifically the subway, and I always wear a red cap with "STOP THE STEAL" inscribed on it. When attending rallies, I frequently wear a white T-shirt that says "FREE YOON" and carry the American flag.

In the past, some people would look at me with strange expressions, but now I feel looks that go beyond friendliness—they are looks of respect. Sometimes, citizens on the subway give me a "thumbs up," and I have even been asked to take photos together as proof of our encounter.

A few days ago, while I was standing in front of a woman in her 20s on the subway, she offered me her seat. Even when I said it was fine, she insisted, saying, "I'm getting off at the next stop," so I sat down. However, she did not get off at the stop she mentioned. I could feel her gaze from a distance, looking at my hat and T-shirt.

Recently, the Liberty High School Union launched a large advertising balloon at Olympic Park.

It is a cubic balloon with the South Korean flag on two sides and the words "Re-election for Election Fraud, Hand-counting for Election Day Voting" on the other two. Perhaps because of the fresh idea, it has recorded millions of views on social media. I would like to thank Lee Dong-jin, head of the National Enlightenment Movement Headquarters, for helping with the idea and production, and the Liberty High School Union for their sponsorship.

Remarkably, eight middle school students who saw this in a short-form video rode their bicycles from Incheon, taking two hours to reach Olympic Park.

When they saw my hat, they shouted slogans like "STOP THE STEAL" and "YOON AGAIN." They also greeted me by saying, "Destroy Communism!" All of this was evidence that they were well-informed about the issue of election fraud. We finally took a commemorative photo and parted ways.

These days, more people are speaking the truth. Truth is the trend. It is impossible to stand on asphalt in sweltering heat exceeding 30℃, chanting only for "Re-election for Election Fraud, Hand-counting for Election Day Voting," without unwavering conviction. Such people are increasing in number.

I assert that the only way to resolve this issue is for the "fake president" Lee Jae-myung to step down. This is because a significant number of citizens now refer to him as the "Emperor with No Clothes." The lesson of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes" is the "courage to speak the truth." There is no need to worry about saving face.

"Parliamentary investigations" or "special prosecutors" that are only for show cannot be the solution. People know full well that these are just delaying tactics and ruses. The levee has already broken. The proverb "A stitch in time saves nine" has become a reality.

I urge Lee Jae-myung to make a bold decision.

Long live the patriotic citizens!

Long live the Republic of Korea!
