Lee Eun-ae (39), who came holding the flag of the 'Mediterranean Panda Hegemonists Alliance,' told Asia Economy at the rally for President Yoon Seok-yeol's resignation in front of the National Assembly in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the 14th, "I'm just a panda enthusiast. I want to comfortably stay at home watching panda YouTube videos," adding, "I hope such a world comes soon."


Lee said, "This situation makes me angry. Even ordinary people can see that it doesn't make sense." "I never thought rallies would be fun, but surprisingly, it's enjoyable because people come from various places and talk."

Kim Ye-won (22), who made the flag titled 'Becoming the Light of the Dark Sea,' said, "I took a phrase from a novel to create the flag. I thought it was exactly the time needed," adding, "I thought the impeachment would happen last week, but since it didn't, I came out to shout myself."


Kim said, "The rally has a familiar atmosphere, and there are many funny flags," and added, "I hope South Korea where liberal democracy is guaranteed will come."
