In mid-January, upon hearing that a hearing on the arrest warrant for the president was scheduled to take place, countless citizens remained in front of the courthouse, staging an all-night protest. I, too, watched the live broadcasts by independent media outlets and YouTubers covering the scene until dawn, observing the ever-growing crowd and wondering—with a mix of hope and concern—whether these heartfelt voices of protest would be fully heard. However, as the grave reality of the warrant’s issuance set in—amid controversies over procedural flaws concerning judicial legitimacy and the limits of investigative authority—the despair and anger of the citizens gathered at the scene reached a fever pitch. Immediately after the warrant was issued, the area around the courthouse descended into an unprecedented riot, as uncontrolled crowds, groups inciting violence amid the chaos, and a complex security response intertwined, resulting in damage to court facilities and intense confrontations. This was a grave situation reminiscent of the historic scene during the U.S. Capitol riot, when crowds demanding electoral fairness clashed violently.
Regrettably, amid the heightened tensions, a heartbreaking incident occurred in which some young people, swept up in the crowd’s fervor, entered the courthouse and were subsequently taken into custody by police on the scene. The media displayed a biased reporting stance, dismissing the incident as mere rioting by radical groups while ignoring why the dozens of young people who were detained were so enraged and the underlying desperation to defend the system. Nevertheless, the news that former high-ranking public officials and legal professionals had voluntarily stepped forward to provide pro bono legal representation for these young people—who were like their own sons—was a silver lining amid the tragedy. Later, a poignant personal account titled “I Am Not a Patriot,” written by one of the young men while in custody and released after his detention, was made public and resonated deeply with many. As I carefully read through the sentences filled with the younger generation’s deep frustration and anguish regarding the current state of affairs, I, too, as a Christian, felt a deep sense of guilt and shame. While physical confrontations must certainly be avoided, the pure passion of that young man—who stood his ground on a cold winter dawn driven solely by his determination to uphold the rule of law—can never be taken lightly.
Even amid the indifference of the establishment, voices seeking the truth continued to rise from all corners. Leaders from all walks of life—including senior pastors in the Christian community and well-known history lecturers with broad public influence—have stepped forward to demand a thorough investigation into the transparency and fairness of the election management system. Despite the presentation of numerous technical suspicions and historical evidence, the attitude of the established political establishment—which dismisses these as mere conspiracy theories or claims perfection by citing only isolated past rulings—only serves to heighten suspicion. Perhaps their eyes are blinded to the grand currents of the political landscape, or perhaps they are mired in specific political interests. As I watched these leaders confidently present their arguments before the people—the sovereigns of the nation—in the solemn courtroom of history known as the Constitutional Court, I was reminded of “Haman’s gallows” from the Book of Esther in the Bible. I am confident that when the sun of truth finally rises, the true nature of the hidden darkness will be clearly revealed, and a just judgment will come upon those who sought to harm others through unjust schemes—they themselves will be hung on that very gallows. The steps of those who hold the truth are so dignified that it is difficult to tell who is judging whom.
The passion and scale of the citizens currently gathered in the plaza, calling for the protection of the constitutional order, have already far surpassed the narrative framed by the media, and public support for safeguarding the system is growing ever stronger. Nevertheless, when I see the forces that persist in imposing an extreme narrative to drive the suspension of the constitutional order, I have a spiritual intuition that the darkness is making its final desperate struggle as dawn finally approaches. The reason God allows the hearts of certain political factions and their followers to remain so hardened is likely to clearly demonstrate to history the fate that awaits those who oppose the Creator’s justice—just as the army of the Egyptian pharaoh, which pursued the Israelites to the very end only to be instantly destroyed in the middle of the Red Sea, met its end. Furthermore, this crisis is serving as a decisive turning point to uproot the humanist ideology that has deeply infiltrated not only South Korean politics but also academia, the cultural sphere, and even the church itself, and to unite South Korea’s Christian conservative forces and the younger generation (born in the 2030s) as they stake everything to defend their values.
To those who view political discourse within the church as taboo or who fail to grasp the ideological crisis of our times, Christians gathering in public squares every weekend to hold prayer meetings for the nation’s salvation and chanting their opposition to impeachment may seem like an excessive form of spiritual dogmatism. In fact, I, too, did not fully grasp the warning that a single bill could undermine the very foundations of family and society, nor did I fully understand the essence of exercising a veto over legislative authority. However, as I closely observed the U.S. presidential election, I realized that the clash for global hegemony was not merely a matter of party politics but a fundamental clash of values and a massive spiritual war—and only then did all the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place. Trump’s election victory, which completely overturned the predictions of major media outlets, proved just how severely the mass media can be distorted. This experience led me to develop the spiritual habit of cross-checking and discerning information for myself, rather than uncritically accepting what the news tells me.
While we were momentarily asleep, humanist ideologies that oppose God and politics that run counter to Christian values have joined forces in this land, constantly attempting to pass anti-discrimination laws that dismantle the family and legislation that places a severe burden on the national budget. Since I cannot remain silent in the face of this massive civilizational tide, I reaffirm my resolve to be a voice crying out in the wilderness to awaken this dark age. Sharing the truth through social media and connecting spiritually with countless people, I wake up at 5 a.m. again today to record the truth on my blog. Praying for a future for a free Republic of Korea filled with the help of God, the Ruler of history, I begin another day of faith with vigor.
