No matter how I see it, I think Syngman Rhee, Park Chung-hee and my father have left me with a precious gift thanks to their sacrifices.

Cheong WaDae is both the residence and office of our president and symbolizes the authority of our nation. Is it possible to authorize a search of such a place simply to probe the petty offenses of Choi Soon-sil, who holds no official title?

Court President Park Han-chol’s deadline signifies trial will be wrapped up in a month. This is a serious concern and tantamount to a rushed trial.

Unless we rise up and destroy the popular idols created by the left-wing news media, we will end up being trapped inside this tragedy in which we have found ourselves. We must all converge in the plaza of patriotism and the rule of law and demolish the illusions and idols created by the left-wing news media.

The impeachment of ex-president Roh Moo-hyun was attack by waning National Assembly on up-and-coming president, while impeach of President Park Geun-hye is attack by up-and-coming National Assembly on waning president. Both cases have nothing to do with public welfare and merely involve factional fighting between political groups seeking to gain power.

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?

The president must be freed from the shackles of impeachment in order for the rule of law to be restored in Korea, for the news media to get back on track and for the legal system to operate properly. And only then will the attempt by leftwing forces, including Moon Jae-in, to wrest control of government through political upheaval be thwarted.

The independent counsel, which has been transformed into a weapon of the revolutionaries, must be driven out of power. Independent counsel Park Young-soo, who was appointed through unconstitutional process, must be fired.

Is the impeachment trial some sort of 100-meter dash? We need to ensure that the Constitutional Court retains the public’s confidence by avoiding the impression of rushing through the hearings. This is my advice to the Constitutional Court as a veteran lawyer.

The Constitutional Court needs to issue a statement signed by all of its judges calling for an end to all protests taking place around the court. If the government does not take steps to stop the protests, the court must warn that it will have no choice but to suspend the trial and make good on that warning.

Right now in Korea, lies are being turned into the truth, while the truth is being covered by darkness. The nation is falling victim to the kind of insanity seen in North Korea. This is why I cannot stop contributing my writings to Chogabje.com.

The Constitutional Court lost its status as an independent court of law as stipulated by the Constitution and ended up serving as a proxy for left-wing lawmakers of the National Assembly.

If the Constitution did not authorize the suspension of the president’s powers, would the opposition still have pushed ahead with impeachment proceedings in just a week by accusing Park of receiving W70 billion in bribes (including W7.5 billion from Lotte Group)? I don’t think so.

National Assembly tabled impeachment motion on Dec. 3, 2016 and ratified it on Dec. 9. The entire process took just six days. There is no evidence of fierce debating taking place before the impeachment motion was passed. The only event that transpired was a vote. The entire process progressed at light speed.

We are Witnessing a Surreal Trial

Korea's Constitutional system faces destruction less than 30 years after creation.

In my opinion, passing on the cost of campaigning to the public constitutes a truly undemocratic election process. Then, shouldn’t the money presidential hopefuls receive from the state to fund their election campaigns be returned to the public?
