Conservative cartoonist Yoon Seo-in said on the 10th that he would "have to leave Korea" after the exit polls from the three major terrestrial broadcasters showed a landslide victory for the opposition.

On the same day, Yoon wrote on his Facebook, "From today, the President of the Republic of Korea is effectively Lee Jae-myung (leader of the Democratic Party of Korea)," adding, "Yoon Seok-yeol (President) can be impeached at any time, and laws can be made at will. The populist train to Venezuela has started again at a very fast speed." Regarding Han Dong-hoon, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, he said, "I think he has done what he could," and added, "The biggest cause is that the people of this country love communism too much, and the next big failure is that Yoon Seok-yeol could not put Lee Jae-myung in prison. The people of the Republic of Korea love communists and criminals very, very much."

Yoon also said, "Since Yoon Seok-yeol failed to imprison Lee Jae-myung over the past two years, he himself will be impeached and will have no choice but to go to prison with Kim Geon-hee," and "Now Lee Jae-myung becomes a super president backed by an enormous 200 seats." He added, "This country is utterly disappointing. Now I even dislike seeing people walking on the streets," and said, "I will hide among the sane people in the three Gangnam districts and make a way to survive and leave. Even the healthcare system, the biggest reason to spend old age in Korea, has become a mess, so there is no reason to stay here anymore."

After writing this post, Yoon posted again, targeting Lee Jae-myung and Kim Hye-kyung with harsh language. He then said, "North Korea is our ethnic brother, so we should give everything," and added, "The U.S. and Japan?I don't think they can be imperialists; after all, China is the best." He continued, "If all the big corporations are dismantled, sent to prison, and burned, a world of small and medium-sized enterprises will open," and said, "Indeed, I really look forward to the era of Lee Jae-myung where everyone is equal."
