A Statement on the Emergency Situation
in South Korea by the Overseas Candlelight Action
 
 
Though we live outside of our homeland,
we live always with Korea near to our hearts. We are proud of the history of
overseas Koreans supporting the fight for Korean independence during the
Japanese colonial rule, against military dictatorships, and for democratization
and peaceful reunification of Korea. 
 
The current Yoon Suk-yeol government is
downgrading South Korea's national stature. It is disheartening to witness
South Korea becoming an international laughing stock as press suppression,
regression of democracy, specter of war, diplomatic blunders have increased
during his administration thus far and have tainted South Korea's image as an
advanced nation on a global stage. 
 
When former prosecutor general Yoon won
the presidency with 0.73% difference, we were worried about his inexperience in
politics and governance but wished that the Yoon government would do
well. 
 
But, less than one year into his
presidency, the news from our homeland is dire. We hear about constant
diplomatic blunders whenever the first couple goes on overseas visits. And,
last October, 159 young people lost their lives in the heart of Seoul in an absurd
disaster at Itaewon. Though the South Korean constitution states that "the
government has responsibility to protect citizen¡¯s lives and properties,"
the government and the ruling party did not truly console families of victims,
but turned to excuses and evasions to avoid responsibilities. 
 
The first lady Kim Keon-hee, though she
promised during the campaign to stay low key if Yoon got elected, has now come
in front and center of national governance. It is said that she was involved
with the hasty decision to relocate the presidential office from the Blue House
to Yongsan, costing an astronomical cost to taxpayers (with news of pseudo
religious leader being involved in this matter). 
 
We cannot just stay idle while these
worrisome developments are happening in our homeland. Therefore, we will be
raising candlelight - - again - - and finish the unfinished Candlelight
Revolution of 2017 in order to recover democracy and citizen sovereignty, and
foster peace in the Korean Peninsula. 
 
 
We declare and demand the following to
the Yoon Government, the National Assembly, and the Judiciary of South
Korea: 
 
1. The Yoon Government should
immediately apologize to the victims and families of the Itaewon Disaster,
along with thorough investigations of truth and prosecution of responsible
parties. 
 
2. Fully investigate allegations on Kim
Keon-hee of stock manipulations, plagiarisms, and fabrication of resumes by
enacting the "Kim Keon-hee Special Prosecution Law." 
 
3. The immediate resignation of Yoon
Suk-yeol.
