“The sovereignty of the Republic of Korea resides in the people, and all state authority emanates from the people.”

Although this is a phrase explicitly stated in Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, it is unfortunate that it currently exists only in text, having been rendered a dead letter in reality due to election fraud.

Furthermore, the fact that the separation of powers has collapsed due to fraudulent elections and that the electoral process—the very flower of democracy—has been reduced to a mere formality leaves no room for excuses, even if one were to criticize the Republic of Korea for being no different from a communist state.

Continuing the struggle at Olympic Park, I am witnessing the incredible diversity of patriotic citizens participating on-site, spanning various genders, occupations, generations, and regions. In particular, the participation of families and office workers is strikingly high, and even elementary, middle, and high school students are joining in groups of five to seven.

When I asked them when they first learned about the election fraud, many replied that they became aware of it following President Yoon Suk-yeol's declaration of martial law, while many others stated they had already known about it long before that. Only a small minority said they first learned about it through the recent June 3rd local elections.

Looking at this, the struggle against election fraud at Olympic Park is undoubtedly an explosion resulting from a great crisis that has been simmering in the Republic of Korea for a long time. This is the driving force that has made possible the “24-hour continuous struggle,” something never before seen in the history of the Republic of Korea, and it is the flow of a massive bloodless revolution.

Therefore, things will not go according to the wishes of the fake president, Lee Jae-myung. He must be hoping that this fervor will subside, but there is no sign of that whatsoever. On the contrary, it is spreading like a wildfire across the country, and the solidarity of the citizens is growing stronger by the day. What is regrettable is the fact that even at this point, as the struggle enters its second month, the Lee Jae-myung regime has provided no response.

While I dare not predict what will happen if there is no response in the end, it will lead to an explosion greater than the current one, and the collapse of the regime will be merely a matter of time.

I do not trust opinion polls due to concerns over manipulation, but I have been observing the trends over time. The fact that Lee Jae-myung’s approval rating, which was near 70%, has been halved is evidence that his actual approval rating is only in the 10% range. His efforts to defend himself by mobilizing Red Guards and the establishment media have now reached their limits.

In addition, we must take to heart the meaning behind U.S. President Donald Trump’s assessment of his own address to the nation on the 17th, which he described as the “greatest and most significant speech.”

As President Trump has identified China as the nation that manipulated the 2020 U.S. presidential election and provided evidence, the Lee Jae-myung regime should be nervous. It is a matter of common sense that the U.S. is closely monitoring the anti-fraud struggle of the pro-American citizens demonstrating at Olympic Park.

Once again, I emphasize that I am certain the only way to quell the intense heat at Olympic Park is for Lee Jae-myung to step down. However, given his nature, it is obvious he will cling to his rotten lifeline until the end, meaning the day he falls into the deep abyss is not far off.

Long live the patriotic citizens!

Long live the Republic of Korea!
