Doctor of Confucian Philosophy · Head of Jeong-ik HakdangThe Righteous Army presents this proclamation to the sovereign citizens of today.

The way of this nation has collapsed, and those who have lost the meaning of their names are shaking the foundations of the country. A nation where politics fears justice, power mocks the law, and the media turns away from truth – this is the Republic of Korea today.

The Lee Jae-myung Regime Terrifies the People with Politics of Fear

During a cabinet meeting, Lee Jae-myung stated, "The law should be amended to impose sanctions" regarding a banner containing the phrase "Kim Hyun-ji."

That single remark was not a mere slip of the tongue. It was an abusive statement that denied the foundation of liberal democracy.

The idea of blocking criticism with law is the language of dictatorship and a dangerous thought that turns the people into enemies.

It is reported that all the ministers present, including Ahn Gyu-baek, Yoon Ho-jung, and Kim Sung-hwan, nodded in agreement.

This is the behavior of public officials who have forgotten the meaning of their names.
They are not looking to the constitution and the people, but to the whims of those in power.
How can such individuals be called ministers of a free Republic of Korea?

Dr. Kang Ryang called this "the era of politics of fear." He is not wrong. We are living in an inverted world where, instead of power fearing law and conscience, the people tremble in fear before power.

Confucius's Warning: "A ruler should act like a ruler."

Confucius said:

"君君臣臣父父子子 (jun jun, chen chen, fu fu, zi zi). A ruler should be like a ruler, a minister like a minister, a father like a father, and a son like a son." This is the truth.

These words still hold true 2,500 years later. A society where the president is not presidential, ministers are not ministerial, and the media is not medial has already lost its proper names (正名).

The President, the Speaker of the National Assembly, and the Chief Justice are the pillars of the three branches of government that should check each other.
However, in today's Korea, the nation falters with one person's word.
This is not a sign of the constitution, but of a regime governed by fear and silence.

University Banners and Living Conscience

Yet, amidst despair, the embers of hope remain alive.

Recently, I heard news about the banners posted on major university campuses.

"Fraudulent Impeachment Invalid!" "Urgent Trial Demanded for Lee Jae-myung, the Primary Culprit of Daejang-dong" "Condemnation of Abandoning Prosecution's Appeal" "A University Silent in the Face of Lies Has No Value."

These cries are the conscience of Korea's youth.

Students from SKY universities, including Seoul National University, have spoken out for justice in their own names.
This proves that a generation that does not fear the truth still exists in our society.
They are the successors of proper naming and the hope of this nation.

Furthermore, the Liberal Democratic Party has declared:

"Cases already indicted for crimes committed by Lee Jae-myung before becoming president must continue to be tried."
That statement is common sense and the spirit of the constitution.

Only newly indicted cases during the term of office are prohibited from being tried; there is no law that prohibits the continuation of already indicted cases.
If the legal community remains silent, they too have given up on living up to their names.

Citizens, Now Establish the Name of "Developed Nation Citizens"

In the past, during times of poverty, citizens cultivated patriotism by reading a newspaper.
That spirit saved the nation, and that education built Korea.
However, now, while the economy has become that of a developed nation, the spirit has regressed to that of a developing nation.

The more citizens who cheer for cash handouts and are deceived by media distortions, turning away from the truth, the deeper the wounds inflicted upon the free market and the constitution. Free-market principles establish citizens as masters, but socialism and totalitarianism make citizens slaves.

Supporting Lee Jae-myung and his faction and remaining silent in the face of injustice is selling the freedom of future generations. The Righteous Army cries out:

"Please, do not commit sins against your descendants!"

Proper naming (正名) is not a language of punishment, but of restoration. Power that fails to live up to its name must step down, and the people must embark on a great journey to realign names with their realities.

The true owners of this nation are the people.
When the people awaken and uphold the meaning of their names,
Justice will revive, and Korea will rise again.

Now is the time for the people to rise together under the banner of proper naming.

Shin Baek-hoon, Doctor of Confucian Philosophy · Head of Jeong-ik Hakdang
