Time for Us to Rise Up
The time has come for true patriots to take action. I also intend to return to my home country and join the struggle. I am over 70 years old now and have nothing to lose. How can I sit idly by as my country falls into ruin?

by Kim Pyung-woo (Attorney and Former Head of Korea Bar Association)

The so-called political elite of our country gave up on our president without even putting up a fight as soon as the biased news media used something as trivial as the Choi Soon-sil scandal to accuse the presidential confidante of a charge as ludicrous as meddling in state affairs. As a result, the president¡¯s approval rating fell to the five-percent level in November of last year (it remains unclear what her approval rating is at present). And using this frivolous excuse, the news media and opposition lawmakers have been demanding the resignation of the president and calling on millions of Koreans to join the candle-light protests.
 
The Seoul Central District Prosecutor¡¯s Office indicted Choi based solely on news reports as soon as she arrived in Seoul from Germany and announced the results of a rushed investigation, tricking the public by accusing the president of being an accomplice rather than a victim of the scandal.
 
Based on such trickery, the National Assembly pushed ahead with its attempt to overthrow the government by impeaching the president and accusing her of the ludicrous and contradicting charges of blackmailing and receiving W70 billion to W80 billion in bribes. How can one be accused of blackmail and bribe taking at the same time? Also, what country in the world impeaches a president on charges of blackmail or bribe taking as if she was a low-ranking public servant?
 
And now, independent counsel Park Young-soo, who was appointed by the National Assembly in order to investigate the Choi Soon-sil scandal, has lost its purpose for existence after state prosecutors indicted Choi, while Park has been impeached by the National Assembly. Yet the independent counsel has dug up charges that were not even included in its original objective and indicted high-ranking government officials, including Culture Minister Cho Yoon-sun on charges of blacklisting artists who were critical of the government. Moreover, the independent counsel filed an arrest warrant against Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong, who has been identified in the impeachment bill as a victim of the corruption and influence-peddling scandal. (What country in the world seeks an arrest warrant on a victim of blackmail?)
 
The judge in charge of issuing arrest warrants is also beyond belief. Why did he take so many hours to reject an arrest warrant sought by the independent counsel against the victim of alleged blackmail by the president and Choi, which was clearly stated in the impeachment bill and indictment by state prosecutors? (The judge was either pretending to cringe in fear of the independent counsel or had ulterior motives which required so much time to prepare.)
 
The independent counsel is striking fear into the hearts of the public by behaving like a revolutionary guard. In 2017, we are witnessing a replay of China¡¯s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. This has been the time line of the events that have transpired in Korea from November of 2016 to January of 2017.
 
From this standpoint, the December upheaval was triggered by biased media reports about the Choi Soon-sil scandal and the aim of leftwing politicians is to drive the president out via impeachment and wrest control of government by holding early elections. And the icing on the cake is the results of the oppressive investigation spearheaded by independent counsel Park Young-soo.
 
All that remains is the Constitutional Court's ruling. However, the pseudo-democratic and human rights lawyer, Moon Jae-in, who appears to be the chief instigator of the December upheaval, is threatening to stage a revolution if the Constitutional Court rejects the impeachment bill. Will the judges be able to make a fair decision under such a threatening atmosphere? They say 70 ~ 80% of the public does not trust the court. This is a natural response.
 
Even in this situation, our mindless political leaders are not fighting to annul the impeachment bill, but are only whining about the incompetence and failure of the president and weighing their selfish gains based on the assumption that the Constitutional Court upholds the impeachment. There is no doubt that they are all going to be nabbed by prosecutors for violating of pre-election campaigning regulations or political funding laws.
 
I no longer expect anything from the so-called elite class of our country. The time has come for true patriots to take action. Let us all rise up in the spirit of independence from Japanese colonial occupation. I also intend to return to my home country to join the struggle. I am over 70 years of age now and have nothing to lose. How can I sit idly by as my country is heading to ruin?
 
Fellow patriots, let¡¯s meet in the streets and fight together to oppose the unjust impeachment!
