Why are pro-Park people in South Korea busy at the market meeting?

According to news on October 23, after Park Geun-hye was ordered by the court to postpone her arrest, she angrily complained of "political revenge" during the court hearing on the 16th and refused to attend the court hearing on the 19th. His lawyers resigned en masse in protest. On the 21st (Saturday), pro-Park people held multiple Taigeukqi rallies in downtown Seoul, calling for an end to political revenge and the release of Park Geun-hye.

According to South Korean reports, on the afternoon of the 21st, the 20th Taigeukqi rally hosted by the Korean Patriotic Party was held in the Daegeuk-ro area of ??Seoul. Organizers said more than 200,000 people attended, but police estimated the actual number of attendees was around 3,500.

On the same day, Cho Won-jin, a fellow representative of the Korean Patriotic Party and a "pro-Park faction" member of Congress, also participated in the rally. In order to call for the release of Park Geun-hye, he began an indefinite hunger strike on October 10. After 12 days of hunger strike, the frail Zhao Yuanzhen arrived at the scene in a wheelchair.

People participating in the rally waved the Taegeuk flag and the Star-Spangled Banner, held signs with slogans such as "Don't mess with Park Geun-hye, she is our president," and shouted "Release the innocent President Park Geun-hye immediately!" Stop the brutal political revenge immediately! "Scumbag Hong Joon-pyo (leader of the Liberty Korea Party, who supports the expulsion of Park Geun-hye) stands down!" "Moon Jae-in stands down!" and other slogans. Around the rally venue, tens of millions of people signed a campaign aimed at "condemning Park Geun-hye's human rights abuses and calling for Park Geun-hye's acquittal."

People at the rally criticized the Moon Jae-in government for "ignoring the voices of the Taegeuk Banner people and extending Park Geun-hye's detention for six months." Regarding the Liberty Korea Party's decision to withdraw Park Geun-hye's membership at a meeting the day before (20th) , some people condemned, "The Liberty Korea Party, which is trying to quit the party, is no longer a conservative right-wing party."

According to earlier reports, on the 18th, the Korean Patriotic Party, founded by a big fan of Park Geun-hye, announced in Its official website issued a general mobilization order. The notice stated, "President Park Geun-hye personally announced the decline of the rule of law in South Korea and announced the launch of a struggle." The notice also quoted Park Geun-hye's speech during the court hearing on the 16th, "I believe that those who trust and support me are here, and the truth will definitely come to light." , calling on the masses to participate in the rally.

On the 13th of this month, South Korea’s Central District Court decided to extend the detention period on the grounds that Park Geun-hye had the “possibility of destroying evidence.” Park Geun-hye's detention time will be extended for up to another six months, that is, she will not be released until April next year. This caused strong dissatisfaction from Park Geun-hye. On the 16th, Park Geun-hye made a rare speech during the trial. She denies suspicion and calls the trial "political revenge" for her. On the same day, Park Geun-hye's seven defense lawyers collectively expressed their resignation. Lawyer Yoo Young-ha accused the court of delaying the arrest of Park Geun-hye as "unreasonable" and said, "This will be the most shameful black history in the history of Korean justice." Park Geun-hye said, "Trust in the judge is meaningless. From now on, we will try according to the judge's wishes." "

On the 18th, Park Geun-hye refused to attend the 81st public trial of the "Crony Interference in Politics" case originally scheduled for the 19th, citing health reasons. On the afternoon of the 20th, South Korea's largest opposition party, the Liberty Korea Party, held a meeting and made a disciplinary decision requiring Park Geun-hye to withdraw from the party on the grounds of "harming the party and losing public support." Korean media said that this is the first time in South Korean history that a political party has asked a former president to quit the party.
