Candlelight Overflow in Front of Korea’s National Assembly Before Impeachment Vote

※Translated by papago
(Seoul = Yonhap News) On the 13th, the day before the vote on the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol, the area in front of the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, was filled with candlelight. At 6 p.m., a rally calling for the passage of the impeachment bill in the National Assembly, organized by the “Yoon Seok-youl Immediate Resignation and Emergency Action for Major Social Reform,” was held, and was filled with citizens clutching idol group and professional baseball team cheering sticks and LED candles. Participants shouted slogans such as “Impeach Yoon Seok-yeol” and “Dismantle the People’s Power,” and agreed that the second impeachment bill against President Yoon, which is just one day away, must be passed. Taking to the podium, Lee Eun-jung, executive chairperson of the National Women’s Solidarity, said, “The power of the people must strictly accept the orders of the sovereign without calculating what will happen tomorrow,” and Kim Sang-soon, a student preparing for employment, said, “I hope that the impeachment bill will definitely be passed tomorrow and we can have a party.” The gathering was held in a cultural festival atmosphere with activities such as sand art and singing performances, and booths were set up all around to distribute hand warmers and hot drinks to help cool off the cold. Lee Ju-hyun (20), from Seosan, South Chungcheong Province, said, “When I saw President Yoon’s speech to the nation, I thought he was out of his mind, and I felt that as many people as possible should come forward and say, ‘Come down.'” A 49-year-old man named Kim, who said he has been attending the rallies since last week, said, “Generations are uniting and working together to create the country that each of us wants.” The full text below can be found at the source.
