South Korea’s Great Reset

As time passed, I found myself wondering how the year 2026 would ultimately be remembered. From the start of the year, amid dramatic shifts in the international landscape, foreign media reports regarding Venezuelan President Maduro came one after another, and as long-standing authoritarian regimes and human rights abuses in the Middle East began to waver, a new spirit of peace seemed to be taking hold in the Strait of Hormuz. Although the global economy was briefly shaken by U.S. tariff policies, it soon stabilized, and companies that kept pace with trends in the U.S. market were recognized for their greater market value. For example, among the companies that assessed the changing international landscape and quickly formulated strategies to respond, Hyundai Motor significantly enhanced its corporate value through proactive measures—such as making large-scale investments in the U.S. and acquiring the American robotics company Boston Dynamics to advance factory automation in the AI era.

​Through the book *Freedom’s Enemy: Freedom*, which I read recently, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of “political correctness,” or PC ideology. And as I observed how much division this PC ideology has caused within Western society, I began to wonder if it might in fact be an ideological attack designed to undermine the long-standing foundation of Christian values from within. If we examine the essence of PC ideology, it possesses totalitarian characteristics that seek to dominate people’s spiritual values by arbitrarily defining standards of justice and distorting the concepts of words and language. I believe that the phenomenon in South Korea of inducing social conflict and fostering hatred through inflammatory terms such as “relative deprivation” is also an extension of this distorted ideological trend.

While observing the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, I realized that this was not a short-term change but the result of a long-term, meticulously orchestrated offensive by political correctness. I watched with concern as the South Korean judiciary began issuing similar rulings that appeared to conflict with traditional constitutional values. Destructive ideologies, built upon the theories of certain thinkers and cloaked in the guise of “progress,” are systematically dismantling, one by one, the conservative and fundamental values that humanity has upheld for so long. This turmoil is not, as atheists view it, a mere phenomenon of social evolution occurring on an insignificant planet in the vastness of the universe. It is nothing less than humanity’s spiritual fall—a fall that has continued since the beginning of time—and a manifestation of our sinful nature. From the disobedience of Adam and Eve, to Cain’s crime, and up to the crucifixion of Jesus—who came to atone for humanity’s sins—underlying this entire sequence lies a rejection of the Creator and an evil nature that seeks to break down the safe boundaries established by God and defy His justice. Ultimately, attempts to undermine the values of traditional families and communities—as well as unconstitutional efforts to hastily enshrine the political ideologies of unverified historical events into the Constitution—are also rooted in this context.

​Now, ahead of the June 3 local elections, many people are developing a sense of discernment regarding the times, and the truth about certain historical events is being reexamined from multiple angles through various educational and academic channels; however, the wall of opacity inherent in the existing system still feels high. This is because some quarters have continuously warned of concerns regarding systemic manipulation, citing potential unauthorized interference through security vulnerabilities within the election management system, backdoor programs, or network bypass (VPN) technologies. Although figures such as Representative Hwang Kyo-ahn and Kim Jeong-hyun, CEO of the Baeksus Research Institute, are fighting fiercely for election fairness, rectifying an election administration system that has been entrenched for so many years does not appear to be an easy task. Nevertheless, the message from a leader who once stood at the center of the political arena has not lost its power, and voices affirming the righteousness of his decisions at the time are being expressed through the activism of his supporters. As I witness the invisible cooperation and strategic moves between South Korea and the United States gradually coming to light one by one over time, I intuitively sense that the foundation for a major transformation to defend our values has been laid.

​It was indeed a great spiritual war to defend our precious freedoms, and it was not a battle fought in isolation by South Korea alone, but a united front aligned with our free allies. For President Trump, who faced great trials during the past election process, this must also be a dramatic turnaround and a process of “The Great Reset.” That is why I, too, believe it is most important to join this spiritual war from my own place in life and quietly proclaim the truth. King Solomon’s final confession—“Fear God and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13)”—is an unchanging truth and a spiritual code of conduct that Christians living in this age must hold fast to. The spiritual balance of power has already shifted, and South Korea, which follows the truth, will ultimately prevail.
