"Washington D.C. Truth Forum," held to inform the United States about the crisis facing South Korean liberal democracy and to amplify the call for American action on behalf of Korea, was successfully held on Saturday, the 13th, at the Westfields Marriott Hotel near Washington Dulles International Airport.
Over 300 attendees gave standing ovations to speakers including former Ambassador-at-Large for Criminal Justice, Johnnie T. Jones, attorney Gordon Chang, White House Correspondent Jane Park, Truth Forum CEO Kim Eun-gu, and Anti-Communist Youth Corps Leader Kim Jeong-hyeon, at the event that stretched for over five hours, significantly exceeding its originally scheduled time.
CEO Kim Eun-gu referred to Lee Jae-myung, who rose to the presidency with the support of the Chinese Communist Party, as "China Lee!" and shouted, "China Lee! Stop the Steal!"
He also highlighted the connection between Senator John Foster Dulles, a supporter of the ROK-US Mutual Defense Treaty, and Syngman Rhee, the founding president of the Republic of Korea, and led the attendees in a chant of "ROK-US Alliance."
CEO Kim emphasized that President Syngman Rhee's founding spirit was to "establish a nation close to God's will," signifying that the foundational principles of Korea and the United States are the same.
Kim Jeong-hyeon (Alfred Kim), Anti-Communist Youth Corps Leader, who spoke as a special guest, clarified that it was the "White Bone Unit" that led the "Hannm Daecheop" which prevented the illegal abduction attempt of President Yoon Suk-yeol by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), directly addressing past misunderstandings and criticisms.
He referred to the People Power Revolution in Nepal and stated, "Now is the time for action," urging the Korean people to "exercise their right to resist!"
CEO Jeon Han-gil drew attention by saying, "Respected Charlie Kirk, after visiting Korea and stating he would inform President Trump about religious persecution, passed away. I also don't know when I might die. I bought a bulletproof vest two days ago for 1.5 million won."
Jeon mentioned the arrest of Pastor Son Hyun-bo of World Church in Busan, stating, "To arrest him for what should at most be a fine is religious persecution," and added, "This will create a situation where the United States will have no choice but to intervene."
He also spoke about the manipulation of public opinion polls and media suppression occurring in Korea, revealing that YouTube Korea had notified him of the suspension of monetization for his YouTube channel, "Jeon Han-gil News."
CEO Jeon asserted that Lee Jae-myung would attempt to "hold onto power until death" and emphasized the need to "build a Republic of Korea of the people, by the people, and for the people." He concluded by shouting, "Let's fight! Let's win!"
Attorney Gordon Chang, who was called "great" by Trump, declared, "The great Korean people are freedom fighters!"
Chang stated, "Since 2003, I have heard talk of fraudulent elections in Korea. Based on what I know and have confirmed, there is evidence of fraudulent elections in 2020, 2022, 2024, and even in 2025!"
He claimed that religious persecution and human rights abuses continue in Korea, and while there have been many leftist presidents in Korean history, "Lee Jae-myung is the worst anti-American."
He then urged, "Now is the last moment to protect democracy in Korea," and led a chant of "Fight!"
Jane Park, who has worked as a White House correspondent for over 30 years, revealed that the Korean media has also labeled her as "far-right." Park stated that "The biggest boss of MAGA, whom they call 'far-right,' is President Trump," and declared, "A full-scale war has begun between President Trump and Lee Jae-myung."
She criticized Lee Jae-myung's government as unintelligent, pointing out his remarks about the Osan Air Base and church searches when he met President Trump in Washington, questioning, "He said he heard it from Intel, so what behind-the-scenes mastermind are you looking for?"
In his lecture, which lasted over an hour, former Ambassador T. T. Jones revealed that the U.S. government is undertaking various preparatory measures. While he did not disclose the specific preparations, Ambassador T. T. Jones stated that the U.S. government "can impose economic sanctions on a government that has staged a coup," and that not only Lee Jae-myung personally, but also constitutional judges, government officials, and their families could face individual sanctions.
He commented that the Trump administration had shown leniency towards the Lee Jae-myung government so far and advised that if the Korean government wishes to maintain a proper relationship with the United States, it must be "honest, fair, and not misleading."
He suggested that the immigration raid at the construction site of the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint battery plant was not a coincidence and stated that Korea is at the core of a crucial battle, and if won, could prevent World War III.
At the event, Ye-won Jeong, who served as interpreter for Gordon Chang, shared anecdotes from her graduate school days at Seoul National University, discussing the severity of leftward drift in Korea and the Israel-Palestine issue. Ji-hye Yoon, interpreter for Ambassador T. T. Jones, received applause for her statement, "Korea must learn from America's mistakes," and added, "Due to Charlie Kirk's sacrifice, a greater wave will rise."
At the end of the event, Pastor Pedro Hwang (Full Gospel Baptist Church, Philadelphia) led the audience in prayer for all the speakers.
