Recently, shocking satellite images showing the release of nuclear waste from North Korea’s nuclear facilities were made public, raising concerns that residents in the areas of Ganghwa Island, Paju, and Gimpo are at direct risk of radiation exposure. A video showing radiation levels measured by a citizen using a radiation detector, allegedly reaching levels comparable to those in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster during the Soviet era, has been circulating online. However, what is even more alarming is that major news outlets have not reported on this extensively, and no politicians have criticized North Korea or demanded strong government action. In contrast, despite the fact that the contamination levels from the nuclear waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan were minimal, Democratic Party politicians visited Japan to protest and wasted budget on conducting nationwide inspections of all seafood, yet there has been no response despite the fact that the nuclear waste water from North Korea is 58 times more contaminated than that from Fukushima. The release of nuclear waste is effectively an act of terrorism against the people of South Korea and could even be described as a declaration of war, yet the media remains silent, the government claims there is no issue, and the public is left to worry while no concrete actions are taken. This is truly perplexing. I also recalled a popular singer who compared the nuclear waste from the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, which had traveled across the Pacific Ocean, turned into clouds in the sky, and fell as rain in South Korea, to a scene from hell.

This made me wonder if there is a sociopathic mental disorder among the entire population that goes beyond a lack of safety awareness and extends to an inability to understand the circumstances of others or empathize with their feelings. Or perhaps they simply think that since there is no immediate harm to them, it is okay, or they have already given up, believing there is nothing they can do, and quickly retreat into their smartphone screens, becoming addicted to social media or shopping. And this might be the result of years of left-wing education and cultural propaganda, where movies glorify gangsters, making people think they’re loyal groups, or where a female lead falls in love with a North Korean officer, making people fantasize about North Korean soldiers being cool, or where a fictional story about a general stopping a military coup with his body is taught as historical truth.

However, the uncomfortable truth that children are being trafficked for organ harvesting and women are being sold into slavery in North Korea has come to light through Lee Ji-sung’s 10,000-kilometer journey to help North Korean defectors. Additionally, as revealed by Robert Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, in his exposé “The Betrayal of Vaccines,” the deadly side effects of mRNA vaccines and the fact that COVID-19 could have been effectively managed with existing treatments and vaccines have come to light. It has also been confirmed that the coronavirus originated from a biochemical weapons research facility in Wuhan, China. The silent voices opposing politicians and governments that enact laws and policies aligned with communism, as well as rejecting a fake president elected through electoral fraud, are growing louder.

Therefore, I have resolved to become a voice crying out in the wilderness, like the owner of Gukdae Tteokbokki, in order to protect my family and community. I continue to engage in archery and writing, which are within my capabilities, while imagining the countless missionaries who shed their blood for the evangelization of South Korea and the soldiers who participated in the Korean War for democracy, cheering for South Korea from heaven. Coincidentally, U.S. President Trump officially launched a special investigation into allegations of election fraud during the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and former ambassador-at-large at office of global criminal justice, Morse Tan mentioned the ROK-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty while urging U.S. intervention in the cyberattacks during the June 3 presidential election in South Korea. This felt like the starting signal for a second Incheon Landing Operation. It was like fireworks launched for South Korea on the Fourth of July. And imagining a big, beautiful Taegeukgi flag fluttering in the sky, I woke up early this morning to write and start the day with vigor. Make Korea Great Again!
