Kim Ga-hyun (20), holding the lightstick of the idol group NCT, met with Asia Economy on the 14th at the rally in front of the National Assembly in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, calling for President Yoon Seok-yeol's resignation. She said, “I came out to impeach the president,” and added, “Our lightstick is brighter than those of other idol singers, so it is very useful right now.”

Song Min-young (22) said, “I believe democracy means that people can live their daily lives freely,” and added, “Society is very chaotic right now. I want peace soon so I can go to concerts.”

Jung Eun-ji (34), holding the lightstick of the idol group Dreamcatcher, said, “I have been a fan for 8 years and came to the rally with my husband,” and added, “I couldn’t stay silent after seeing the martial law. Many people brought their lightsticks, so I brought mine too.”

Jung said, “I had never been to a rally before and was a bit scared at first. Honestly, after coming out, everyone is very orderly and nice,” and added, “The president must be impeached today. We will keep coming out to the streets until it happens.”
