On this day, thousands of кσяєαns took to the streets to protest, criticize and demand President Yoon Suk Yeol's resignation. The political and social situation in this country has become more complicated and chaotic than ever.
K-ARMYs are also a part of their country and some also participated in the protest demanding the impeachment of the President. On SNS, a series of photos of K-ARMYs holding ARMY Bombs in protest were shared, making international fans emotional.
But more than anything, the international fan community hopes that the кσяєαn people and K-ARMYs participating in the protest will be safe and the chaos will end soon:
President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law from 11pm on December 3 on the grounds that the opposition, which holds the majority in the National Assembly, is "anti-state". The martial law decree includes measures such as banning the National Assembly, controlling the press, and banning gatherings for protests. This action of the incumbent President has caused great confusion among the people and paralyzed many judicial and executive activities, etc.
Although in the early morning of December 4, Mr. Yoon abolished this order, it still could not avoid great indignation from people across the country. On the same day until now, people have organized many large-scale protests in Gwanghwamun Square, the National Assembly building or in many cities across the country. The protests condemned the President for his "unconstitutional" actions and demanded "respect for the people's sovereignty".
Many K-ARMYs also took to the streets to participate in these protests. The images of fans holding lightsticks symbolizing the ARMYs fandom along with banners have attracted a lot of attention from netizens. Meanwhile, the international fan community was moved and expressed concern for K-ARMYs in the context of political turmoil.
Many fans left comments about this incident and prayed for the safety of K-ARMYs:
- ARMY is everywhere there’s need to fιgнт for a good cause. Adorable Representative MC for Youth!
- It's so impressive, looks like a concert more than protest. Btw keep safe for everyone.
- I hope the chaos will be resolved soon, K-ARMYs stay safe
- ARMY Bomb makes the sense of danger less, I hope K-ARMYs are always okay
- The appearance of ARMY Bombs makes me feel that everyone is so decisive and powerful. Fighting!
- K-ARMYs & Bombs, everything fits the scene so well, I hope what K-ARMYs are fιgнтing for will come true soon

Meanwhile, in recent days, кσяєαn people have impressed the international community with many different styles of protest. There are crowds holding protests in a solemn atmosphere, while others organize singing, taking photos happily under candlelight, phone lights or light from light sticks.
In particular, Hallyu culture is also shown in protests such as crowds singing "Into The New Worlds", "Crooked" or changing the lyrics of Christmas songs to protest...
