Kim Ki-hyun, who took the podium, stated, "Just as the common people achieved Korea's independence during the Joseon era, it is the citizens here who will save the Republic of Korea," and asserted, "President Yoon's impeachment must never happen."

He added, "I was moved to tears listening to President Yoon's final statement during the impeachment trial. How lonely and difficult it must have been," and said, "However, I saw a leader who decided to walk this thorny path, enduring pain for the sake of saving the country rather than personal safety."

Na Kyung-won also took the microphone, saying, "President Yoon is truly a courageous leader," and emphasized, "We must unite our efforts so that President Yoon can return to his duties."

Na stated, "The Republic of Korea is entering a 'leftist occupation period,'" and said, "What we must do is to eradicate the leftist vested interests infiltrating the legislature, judiciary, and media, which we have come to know through this martial law and impeachment crisis, and crush the opportunists within us who are only looking for chances."

Yoon Sang-hyun conveyed President Yoon's message, saying, "When the president was at the official residence, he asked me to make sure to convey this if I went out to the square," and shared, "'We must fight to the end with the will and responsibility to protect freedom.'"

Jang Dong-hyuk claimed, "The Constitutional Court is now being criticized for ignoring all procedures and is considered worse than judges during the Japanese occupation," and insisted, "The correct answer is to dismiss the impeachment."

The lawmakers who attended the rally held signs reading "Save the Republic of Korea" as they took the stage and greeted the rally participants.
