I was on my way home from picking up a package when I was watching the news on YouTube and heard a student from Freedom University shouting. I turned my car around and headed to Gwacheon when I heard the order for citizens who were not acting while watching YouTube to come to the election center in Gwacheon. When I arrived on the highway, hundreds of people had already gathered at the National Election Commission. As I walked toward the front of the Election Commission building where the protest was taking place, I overheard a woman talking to another woman.

“I was an early voting election observer in Mullae-dong, and 8 to 90 percent of them are Chinese. I was so freaked out that I only got one hour of sleep last night.”

When I asked her for proof, she said she had seen them conversing in Chinese outside the building after the vote several times and that they seemed to be trained to act naturally. At that moment, it was like watching a scene from the war diary, Nanjoong Ilgi, which I recently listened to as an audiobook, and reminded me of General Yi Sunsin, who was devastated when he received reports that the Jinju Castle had fallen. I was already aware of some of the loopholes in early voting, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized that the hacking of SK Telecom, which had been going on for years and was stopped a day before President Yoon declared martial law, and the sudden passage of a visa-free policy for Chinese tourists starting in April after pro-China politician and National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik met with Chinese President in the midst of an impeachment crisis, was a hybrid warfare method using early voting. To see this for myself, I went to the early voting center in Songdo 1-dong on the first day of early voting and asked if I could vote with the Mobile Pass app instead of my ID, and was told to get in line, so I stood there and pretended to go to the restroom and slipped out.

When I came back to my senses, I was one of hundreds of citizens gathered in front of the Election Commission building in Gwacheon. It was a very peaceful scene, with a few orators speaking into microphones and picketers around them clapping or chanting along with them. Even the police officers standing in the line were not particularly sanctioned, just concerned with maintaining order and allowing cars to pass smoothly on the narrow road in front of the building. The speeches and shouts of the students of Free University, followed by former history lecturer Jeon Han-gil and representative of YouTuber GroundC, Kim Sung-won, were resonant, and the feeling of emotion and reality was incomparable to YouTube as I heard it in person. Also, when Professor Morse Tan and other speakers from the International Election Monitoring Group from the U.S. finished their speeches, the crowd chanted and supported USA. Their claims were very justified and they promised to report to President Trump with reasonable doubt and concrete evidence.

I was at the rally for about an hour, and on my way back, I made a short vlog on YouTube, and I realized that the outcome of the presidential election had already been decided: the overseas voting had already been rigged with an impossible 79.5% overseas voter turnout, the in-person early voting had been manually inflated by foreigners with fake mobile IDs, and the out-of-province early voting had been sent by postal courier to Election Commission offices all over the country, and secretly at night, Election Commission employees had been caught breaking the seals on the ballot boxes and pouring in fake votes that had been prepared in advance. This was already visible on CCTV in Gangdong-gu, Dongjak-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, and Eunpyeong-gu, and we could see that virtually every Election Commission office in the country was doing this to match the inflated number of advance votes, and the mainstream media either ignored these reports and tips or cleverly framed them in a self-inflicted and far-right frame, so the majority of people were either fooled or didn’t care. As I watched the evidence of election fraud across the country – envelopes with ballots already marked with the symbol 1 were found in Seongbok-dong, Yongin, and one person was found to have voted multiple times, and people were caught taking ballots out of the country in bulk – it felt like the country was falling apart before my eyes. And when a young foreigner filmed herself marking candidate number 1 at the polling station and shared it on social media to boast about it, it felt like spitting in the face of the Korean people.

But President Trump’s meaningful tweet accusing China of violating a trade deal was like a ray of light in the darkness: the world order surrounding the Korean Peninsula was changing rapidly, and God’s scenario for managing the world seemed to have already been decided. It is said that the darkest hour is just before the dawn breaks, and this reminded me of the miraculous events of every moment since President Yoon’s declaration of martial law last year. Yoon declared martial law even though he knew he would be impeached for risking his political life, enlightening a nation unaware of the national crisis, and then it was amazing to see former Gyeonggi-do Governor Kim Moon-soo emerge as a presidential candidate and miraculously become the presidential nominee despite the obstruction of the pro-China cabinet system forces within the ruling party as stories of his numerous accomplishments and his interactions with the citizens to the point that the joke “Human Kizania” was circulating. More recently, his wife, Mrs. Seol Nan-young’s speech garnered over a million views, but it was even more surprising that Ryu Si-min’s venomous rant against his spouse, who came from a working-class background, went viral and he eventually apologized.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media has already been bought and is spreading false news, but truthful independent media continue to emerge through YouTube and X. The leftist cartel is holding key positions in all parts of society and the economy and is cleverly distorting decision-making, but vested interests are being broken as AI startups armed with new business models are emerging, and the leftist pastors who have taken root like poisonous mushrooms in the churches that have survived the old spiritual wars are now mostly exposed and the awakened saints no longer smell the poisonous scent they emit. The outcome of the election had already been decided by them, but many of the people seemed to have already awakened and welcomed the new Korea into their hearts. As I stood in the light with them, I began to see them in the darkness better and understood why they rejected or feared the light. It seemed to me that they were already doomed and were only making a last ditch effort to take away our freedoms, but they were mired in their own sinfulness and couldn’t stop, and were going down the path of lies and destruction until the end. I still wake up at dawn today to write my blog and start my day, believing that God will surely intervene in His time and restore Korea and bring about a great turnaround.
