As the Constitutional Court's decision on the impeachment of President Yoon Sukyeol is being delayed, an online campaign calling for his impeachment is drawing attention.

The campaign involves participants writing the phrase "Order: The respondent, President Yoon Sukyeol, is dismissed" in their own handwriting, taking a photo of it, and posting it on their social media accounts with hashtags such as #YoonSukyeolDismissal, #OrderOfThePeople, and #HandwrittenRelay. They also tag friends to encourage them to join the movement.

This campaign was first proposed by Kang Suhun, a member of the Gwangju City Council, and began by nominating fellow council members Park Sugi, Chae Eunji, and Lee Myeongno, centering the movement around Gwangju city councilors.

The relay campaign, which started in Gwangju, has now spread nationwide, with lawmakers such as Chung Dongyoung, Yoon Hojoong, Nam Insun, Kim Yongmin, Kim Woni, Moon Geumju, and Mo Gyeongjong participating. Courageous grassroots democracy advocates in regions like Ulsan and Chuncheon are also continuing the campaign. These participants are expressing their convictions by writing each letter with determination, hoping for the dismissal of Yoon Sukyeol.

Kang Suhun explained the purpose of the campaign, saying, "I wanted to contribute to the dismissal of Yoon Sukyeol by delivering the message in a different way, increasing the visual impact while using a method that can be easily spread." He added, "I feel that the atmosphere calling for Yoon Sukyeol's dismissal is growing stronger through this collective expression on social media."
