Actors also voice their opinions at rallies supporting and opposing the impeachment of President Yoon

It has been about two weeks since President Yoon Seok-yeol declared emergency martial law in the middle of the night. Impeachment motions have been proposed twice, and actors have spoken out in various ways.
A video of actor Yu Jun Sang talking to fans after finishing a musical performance on the 10th became a hot topic. In the video posted on the SNS X (formerly Twitter), Yu Jun
Sun signed autographs for fans and hinted at attending the rally, saying, "Go and put in the effort. I'll dress like this and go out sometime."
Then, on the 13th, just before the second impeachment vote, he tweeted, "He must be impeached tomorrow.
"But I'm not going to pay for it," she sighed. Song Sunmi has attracted attention for "paying for impeachment coffee in advance." This has become a new rally culture at the impeachment rally.
Citizens made advance payments to local cafes and restaurants as a way of supporting the rally participants.
Following singer IU and group NewJeans,
Song Sunmi, who was the first among the participants to participate in the prepaid relay, announced on her YouTube channel, "I'm grateful to all the wonderful people who are working hard outside in this cold weather.
I paid in advance for 100 Americanos to show my support for the team. Just guess my name, Sunmi. It's a small amount, but I hope it will warm your body and help you overcome fatigue for a little while.
"I hope that warm spring will come soon," he wrote. Actors Han Yeri, Shin Soyoul, Ok Ja Yeon, Lee Juyeon, Kim Seohyun and others participated in the rally.
Shin Soyoul wrote, "I sang 'The World We Met Again' (a Girls' Generation song) with great force," while Kim Seohyun posted a star-shaped light stick.
Along with the photo, she uploaded a candle emoji. Nam YoonSu wrote, "20241214 prayer. If you pray sincerely, your wish will come true. The unexpected results are even more thrilling.
Cha Kang-seok, a musical actor who recently caused controversy by defending martial law, posted a photo of himself holding a candle in front of the National Assembly on the 14th.
He took to the microphone at a rally to stop the impeachment of President Yoon Seo-gyul, held on the street opposite. After introducing himself as an actor who had been witch-hunted, he said, "I'm the one we chose.
He defended President Yoon, saying, "The President is fighting alone on the front lines for the democracy of the Republic of Korea." At the same time, he said, "Why are we traitors? We are half of the Republic of Korea.
Those who could not attend the rally and those who supported us are all citizens of the Republic of Korea," he said. On the 15th, after the rally, Cha Kang-seok posted on social media, "The primary color of the rally is a blatant insult.
I will no longer have any communication with those who make such accusations and insults to me," he said, emphasizing, "Those who have tarnished my reputation, whether it is true or false, must prepare themselves for the consequences."
Just as the stars expressed their opinions, the public also showed a variety of reactions. In response to Son Sunmi's post about paying for coffee in advance, many people commented, "It's heartwarming even though I'm at a rally," "I live in Seoul," and
"It's a shame because I would definitely go if I could. It's wonderful," one comment read. Internet users who sympathized with Cha Kang-seok's comments left comments saying, "I support you."
Kim Hong-sik, a pop culture critic, said, "We need to become a society where entertainers' social comments and diverse opinions can be respected.
Expressing opinions that are based on rational logic and evidence is necessary for not only entertainers but also the public, and healthy communication is also necessary."
