Patriotic compatriots residing in Washington, D.C., including the Korea-U.S. Freedom Alliance, have issued a call, stating, "We condemn the visit to the U.S. by a fraudulent president who was elected through a rigged election and has displayed blatant pro-China and pro-North Korea leanings." 

They asserted, "Lee Jae-myung, who has undermined the Republic of Korea’s liberal democracy and threatened the ROK-U.S. alliance, usurped power not through the free choice of the people, but as a product of a fraudulent election." They further criticized him, stating, "He has imprisoned the legitimately elected President Yoon Suk-yeol as a scapegoat for political retaliation and has committed the unprecedented tyranny of jailing the First Lady as well." 

The compatriots continued by pointing out, "This is an anti-constitutional outrage that destroys the constitutional order and shakes the very foundations of democracy. Specifically, in his 80th Liberation Day commemorative address, Lee Jae-myung spewed reckless rhetoric, vowing to implement the June 15 Joint Declaration, the October 4 Declaration, and the September 19 Military Agreement—agreements that North Korea itself has already discarded." 

Furthermore, they lamented, "He insulted the legitimacy and liberal democracy of the Republic of Korea by calling the murderous dictator Kim Jong-un a 'special relation' that must be respected. We clearly warn that Lee Jae-myung's pro-North, pro-China, and anti-American policies seriously threaten the security and existence of a free Republic of Korea and are leading to a conspiracy for communization under the guise of a 'Koryo Federation'." 

The following is the full text of the statement 'Condemning Lee Jae-myung’s Visit to Washington'. 

We, patriotic compatriots residing in Washington, D.C., strongly condemn the visit to the United States by Lee Jae-myung, the fraudulent president who usurped power through a rigged election, undermined the Republic of Korea's liberal democracy, threatened the ROK-U.S. alliance, and has openly revealed his pro-China and pro-North Korea agenda.

Lee Jae-myung usurped power as a product of a rigged election, not through the free choice of the people. He has imprisoned the legitimately elected President Yoon Suk-yeol as a scapegoat for political retaliation and committed the unprecedented tyranny of jailing the First Lady.

This is an anti-constitutional outrage that destroys the constitutional order and shakes democracy at its foundation.

In particular, in his 80th Liberation Day address, Lee Jae-myung made the preposterous claim that he would implement the June 15 Joint Declaration, the October 4 Declaration, and the September 19 Military Agreement, all of which North Korea has already discarded. Moreover, by referring to the murderous dictator Kim Jong-un as a "special relation" that must be respected, he has insulted the legitimacy and liberal democracy of the Republic of Korea.

We clearly warn that Lee Jae-myung's pro-North, pro-China, and anti-American policies seriously threaten the security and existence of a free Republic of Korea, and are leading toward a conspiracy for communization through a "Koryo Federation."

Accordingly, we resolve as follows:

● The fraudulent president Lee Jae-myung must step down immediately.

● Cease all political retaliation against President Yoon Suk-yeol and the First Lady.

● Stop the treasonous acts that are destroying the ROK-U.S. alliance.

● Immediately abandon the conspiracy for a "Koryo Federation" that is destroying the free Republic of Korea.

We will defend freedom and democracy to the end, and we are confident that justice and history will inevitably prevail.

Fraudulent president Lee Jae-myung, step down!

Stop the political retaliation against President Yoon Suk-yeol!

We condemn Lee Jae-myung, the traitor shaking the ROK-U.S. alliance!

Lee Jae-myung to prison! Long live the free Republic of Korea!

Fellow compatriots, we will never yield. The free and democratic Republic of Korea will surely triumph!

[Statement Condemning Lee Jae-myung's Visit to Washington, D.C.]

We, patriotic Korean-Americans residing in Washington, D.C., strongly condemn the visit of Lee Jae-myung, the fraudulent president who seized power through election rigging. He has undermined the Republic of Korea's liberal democracy, endangered the U.S.-ROK alliance, and openly pursued pro-China and pro-North Korea policies.

Lee Jae-myung did not rise to power by the free choice of the people but through a stolen election. He usurped authority, unlawfully imprisoned the legitimately elected President Yoon Suk-yeol as a victim of political retribution, and even went so far as to jail the First Lady - an unprecedented act of tyranny. This is an anti-constitutional outrage that destroys constitutional order and shakes democracy at its very foundation.

Most shockingly, in his address commemorating the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation, Lee Jae-myung vowed to implement the June 15 Joint Declaration, the October 4 Declaration, and the September 19 Military Agreement - agreements that North Korea itself has already scrapped. He further disgraced the Republic of Korea by calling murderous dictator Kim Jong-un a "special relationship" deserving of respect, thereby insulting Korea's legitimacy and its liberal democratic identity.

We solemnly warn that Lee Jae-myung's pro-North, pro-China, and anti-American policies gravely endanger the security and survival of the free Republic of Korea, and are paving the way for the scheme of Communist unification under the so-called "Koryo Federation."

Accordingly, we resolve the following:

Fraudulent president Lee Jae-myung must step down immediately.

Political retribution against President Yoon Suk-yeol and the First Lady must cease.

Treasonous acts that destroy the U.S.-ROK alliance must end.

The sinister scheme of the Koryo Federation, which would topple the free Republic of Korea, must be abolished at once.

We will defend freedom and democracy until the end, with unshakable faith that justice and history will prevail.

Chants:

Step down, fraudulent president Lee Jae-myung!

Stop political retribution against President Yoon Suk-yeol!

Condemn Lee Jae-myung, the traitor undermining the U.S.-ROK alliance!

Lee Jae-myung to prison! Long live the free Republic of Korea!

Fellow patriots,

We shall never yield.

The free and democratic Republic of Korea will surely triumph!
