Dear patriotic citizens who love freedom and democracy!

Thank you so much for coming out in this cold weather on New Year’s Day to protect the constitutional order of liberal democracy in this country.

I am watching your efforts through the live YouTube broadcast. I am truly grateful and deeply worried about you. I am also very concerned about your health in this cold weather.

Currently, the Republic of Korea is in danger due to the maneuvers of sovereignty-infringing forces and anti-state elements from within and outside the country. Together with you, I will fight to the end to protect this country.

The master of liberal democracy is not the state or the party, but each and every citizen. We’ll certainly win! Let’s work harder!

Again, thank you so much. I wish you good health in the new year.

President Yoon Suk Yeol
