Actor Choi Jun-yong, who appeared at the rally opposing the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol, publicly expressed his support for the president.

On the 3rd, Choi Jun-yong participated in the "National Rally Against the Impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol" held in front of Donghwa Duty Free Shop in Jung-gu, Seoul, took the microphone, and spoke. He said, "I was shocked when martial law was suddenly declared on December 3 last year, but what surprised me even more was that the martial law ended within a few hours," adding, "Honestly, I was a bit disappointed. If you were going to impose martial law, you should have done it properly. I wondered why you ended it so quickly."

He continued, "But now, looking back, I think I did not understand President Yoon’s great intention. About a month after the martial law, the anti-state forces that the president always mentioned are stirring up trouble here and there," and said, "People are carrying signs that say 'Impeach Yoon Seok-yeol, the leader of the rebellion.' Why is the Chinese Communist Party coming to another country and doing such things? Why is it that there are no spies in our country? Of course, there are."

Choi also said, "Democratic Party lawmakers say, 'Why are you talking about spies from the past?' but how many spies have come out of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions?" He added, "They use the exact terms used in North Korea, and they carry pickets with instructions directly from North Korea. If they are not spies, then who are?" Furthermore, he shouted, "They say they are continuing rallies (for the president’s impeachment) in Hannam-dong without permission," and yelled, "Are those people citizens of the Republic of Korea? If you hate Korea, go to North Korea, you bastards." Finally, he encouraged supporters by saying, "President Yoon has awakened our people. Let’s protect him until the end."

Meanwhile, Choi Jun-yong has publicly supported President Yoon since the president’s presidential campaign, campaigning alongside him, and attended the presidential inauguration ceremony in May 2022. In addition, singer Kim Heung-guk and JK Kim Dong-wook have expressed support for President Yoon’s emergency martial law. On the 2nd, at a rally in front of the presidential residence to prevent arrests, Kim Heung-guk raised his voice, saying, "How hard President Yoon must be having every day," and "In the past two and a half years, where is a president who has done better than him? Presidents Rhee Syngman, Park Chung-hee, and Chun Doo-hwan also did well, but President Yoon is doing the best." JK Kim Dong-wook posted on social media on the 3rd, "Protecting the president is the way to protect the country," along with a photo of the Taegeukgi flag.
