On October 17, Jeon posted a video on his YouTube channel, Jeon Hangil News, titled "Greeting from in front of Mount Fuji instead of today's live broadcast."

In the video, Jeon stands with Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, in the background, holding placards in both hands. One reads "1905 Eulsa Treaty," "1910 Japan-Korea Annexation," and the other reads "2025 Pro-China Lee Jaemyung," "In Progress: Becoming a Chinese Colony."

Jeon stated, "History repeats itself. With the Eulsa Treaty and the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty, we experienced the painful history of falling into 35 long years of Japanese colonial rule." He continued, "Now, 120 years later, in 2025, the Lee Jaemyung administration is becoming pro-China. We will become a vassal state of China, a Chinese colony." He further claimed, "The Lee Jaemyung administration is an agent of the Chinese regime. Otherwise, how could they comply so thoroughly with China's demands?"

Jeon added, "I ask you to decide what should be done about the Lee Jaemyung administration, which will ruin the Republic of Korea." He went on, "I will continue to travel around the world, urging overseas Koreans to protect Korea, to strengthen the South Korea-U.S. alliance, and to defend liberal democracy."

On October 16, Jeon also announced through a live broadcast that he had staged a solo protest on the streets of Shinjuku, Tokyo. In the released photos, Jeon stands in front of a crosswalk holding placards that read, "Fellow Koreans in Japan! Please save the Republic of Korea!" and "Lee Jaemyung = Hitler."

Back in August, Jeon visited Washington, D.C., to coincide with the South Korea-U.S. summit between President Lee Jaemyung and U.S. President Donald Trump. Citing threats to his personal safety, Jeon claimed, "I've even received suggestions that it might be better to seek asylum within the United States."

It was reported that on the night of October 17, Jeon departed for Australia. On October 18, he wrote on his YouTube community board, "I will continue to upload videos of my lectures and solo protests in front of the Sydney Opera House," adding, "I will keep appealing to the seven million overseas Koreans to save the Republic of Korea for the sake of the South Korea-U.S. alliance and the defense of liberal democracy."
