Truth Forum Statement in Opposition to the Constitutional Amendment TRUTH FORUM welcomes the news of the failure of the Moon administration in its attempt to change the Constitution within this coming June. The Constitution that embodies the Magna Carta should not be changed abruptly. A Constitutional amendment should be carried out when there are sufficient political stability and social integration. Since the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye, the Korean public is divided in half, and there are widespread disappointment and distrust towards the government and politics. As such, it is neither reasonable nor appropriate to discuss the constitutional amendment at this time. Furthermore, North Korea's nuclear threat has reached an unprecedented level, and there is no legitimate ground to hastily push for a constitutional amendment at this point, given the complicated and risky circumstance. The Moon administration should focus on normalizing socio-political situation, which has been mired by agitation and confusion rather than aggravating them further by discussing the constitutional amendment. TRUTH FORUM urges the government to terminate all discussions regarding the constitutional amendment and announces the following statements. 1. We call for a thorough investigation into the illicit online opinion-manipulation scandal, by ‘Druking.’ The act of distorting online public opinion in favor of Moon has severely damaged the foundation of democracy. The act of manipulating the public opinion to find support for and to legitimize the current and future government policies is a serious fraud scheme. The online opinion-rigging scandal, now widely known as ‘Druking Scandal,’ has revealed the fact that the public has been instigated and public opinion has been manipulated, which in turn raises serious questions about the legitimacy of the impeachment of President Park and the19th Presidential Election. A special investigation of the government and those involved in the scandal is necessary. For this reason, it is inappropriate to discuss constitutional revision at this time! 2. We strongly oppose the constitutional amendment proposed by North Korea sympathizers. Cho Kook, the current secretary of civil affairs in the Blue House, was involved in the case of the ‘South Korean Socialist Workers Alliance’ that sought a socialist revolution in South Korea in the early 1990s. Jeong Hae- gu, the head of the Special Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Revision, is widely known for his pro-North stance. He openly denies the legitimacy of the Republic of Korea and instead acknowledges that of the North. We cannot trust any of the constitutional revision proposals made by those North Korea sympathizers, who have long strived to bring the North Korean regime to South Korea. It is highly conceivable that the foundational basis of the ROK can be distorted and destroyed in the hands of those pro-North parties, under the name of a constitutional revision. 3. North Korea is an anti-human rights regime! We oppose Federalist Reunification of the ROK and the DPRK! Kim Jong-un’s totalitarian regime in the North is, without doubt, an anti-humanitarian regime. The United Nations has confirmed this fact through its Commission of Inquiry (COI) report. Reunification based on federalism means acknowledging or accepting this totalitarian slave-state as it is. The Federalist Reunification that approves of the North Korean regime is unacceptable! It is tantamount to becoming an accomplice to the crimes against humanity. We strongly oppose the provincial decentralization, one of the highly controversial items among Moon administration’s constitutional revision proposals, which would pave the road to Federalist Unification! 4. We stand in complete opposition to all plans of the constitutional amendment! We oppose partial revisions and a promise of the deadline set for constitutional changes! A Constitutional amendment should not take place under the pro-North Moon administration. Promising a time limit to the amendment is not proper as well. We also oppose the partial revisions on specific items, which can be detrimental. A secret pursuit of the parliamentary government system to aid partisan politics will only deepen the mistrust against the National Assembly. Therefore, we strongly request a ‘Commitment of Opposition to the Constitutional Amendment’ from each member of The Liberty Korea Party, and we summon the citizens of this nation to join us for this call! 5. There is a great concern about Inter-Korean Summit prepared by the pro-North government! The Inter-Korean Summit should ensure improvements in human rights situations in North Korea and achieve a complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization. If the Inter-Korean Summit creates discord in the ROK-US alliance with false peace moves and propagandizes the anti-human rights regime of North Korea, the South Korean government will face grave consequences both domestically and internationally. The ultimate liberalization of North Koreans and liberal unification of the Korean peninsula are the foundational values of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea since its very establishment in 1948. For this reason, there is significant concern over the current pro-North Moon administration which neglects the reality of North Korea and blindly pursues ‘peace treaty’ in vanity, which in turn can destroy the very grounds of our Constitution. 6. Bring forth polices for Reunified ROK! A state that commits crime against humanity will fall to its doom. It is a call for justice under the universal values of human rights. Now is the time to liberate North Korea that is held hostage under the ideological deception of ‘Kim Il-sung Juche ideology.’ Given the devastating conditions under which the people of North Korea are suffering, the collapse of the North Korean regime is inevitable. We cannot delay liberation of North Korea any longer with false peace moves. The National Assembly shall immediately stop discussions on the Constitutional reform, and make concerted efforts to provide practical measures to liberate North Koreans! Moreover, we urge the Members of the Assembly to bring forth policies for Reunified Korea which will lay the foundation of the unified Republic of Korea.

Truth Forum Statement Congratulating President Trump on His Re-election We extend our sincere congratulations on the re-election of President Donald Trump and hope that America will be restored and be great again on the foundation of universal values. Trump's election has exposed the abysmal state of the Korean media, and it is very disappointing to see that Korean media outlets are copying the left-leaning narratives of the American mainstream media. Due to these negative portrayals, a negative perception of President Trump is dominant among the public, even within conservative groups in South Korea. However, the true significance of this election transcends politics; it concerns the survival and renewal of America as a nation founded on a biblical worldview and committed to universal values. Postmodernism and Marxism, wrapped in the guise of equality and human rights, have seriously distorted America's identity and founding principles. Unless corrected, America will crumble from within and lose the systematic war against the Chinese Communist Party. President Trump’s re-election reflects an awakening among Americans who have recognized these pressing challenges. We look forward to a fundamental restoration of America, based on universal values. South Korea will face many challenges. However, the restoration and renewal of the United States will be an opportunity for South Korea to renew its identity, which has been distorted by postmodernism and Marxism. If we focus on universal values with the United States, the ROK-US alliance will rise to a new level, and together with America, we will make Korea great again. And we must seize this opportunity as a stepping stone toward the liberation and unification of North Korea. This is our mission, and whether we can achieve this ultimately depends on our collective resolve. We sincerely congratulate President Trump on his re-election and bless and pray for the restoration and renewal of a great America—united on the foundation of universal values, beyond Republicans and Democrats. November 7, 2024 Truth Forum David Eunkoo Kim President, Founder *Truth Forum, founded in 2017 at Seoul National University, is South Korea's pioneering conservative organization grounded in a Judeo-Christian worldview. We are dedicated to advancing values such as Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Freedom, Pro-Market, Pro-Korea, Pro-North Korea Human Rights, Pro-Israel, and Pro-ROK-US Alliance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As we release the above congratulatory statement on President Trump’s re-election, we would also like to share the public statement issued on November 7, 2017, during President Donald Trump’s visit to South Korea. This statement arose from a profound sense of crisis concerning the pro-North leftist Moon administration, which sought to undermine South Korea's identity through deceptive propaganda. It served as a message to our friends in the United States, revealing the true nature of the Moon administration. Truth Forum Statement Welcoming President Trump's Visit to South Korea and Raising Awareness of Korea's Critical Situation We welcome the official visit of President Donald Trump to Korea and kindly send this message to the American people. This is our earnest plea and notice to our dear Americans, 1. Please refrain from supporting anti-US groups and avoid issuing green cards or visas to their members. 2. The Republic of Korea is now in danger because itis occupied by Juche ideology followers. 3. The majority of Koreans support and love the US 4. Now is the time to declare freedom and truth and liberate the people in the slave country, North Korea. For further details, please see below. --- Dear American friends, We sincerely welcome President Donald Trump to the Republic of Korea, the President of the United States of America, our strongest ally. As North Korea is acting recklessly, how the United States thinks and determines will have a major impact on us. We therefore believe it is necessary to raise our voices representing the silent majority and intellectuals, which may not necessarily be the same as the voice of Korea’s mainstream media, or even that of the “candlelight mob” known to the Americans. President Moon is known as a democratic activist and human rights lawyer. However, we cannot simply praise him and the democratic movements of the Republic of Korea because it is led by Juche ideology followers. Some people naively regard these leftists as democratic activists pursuing social progress. However, these leftists, who led the ‘student democracy movement’ in the 80s and the 90s, are the followers of the Juche ideology, which is a variation of Marxism and the official state ideology of North Korea. They regard the US as the instigator responsible for the division of Korean peninsula, and the agent of capitalism and imperialism. Furthermore, they deny the legitimacy of the Republic of Korea which was established by the support of the US. These people have been active under the generous framework of the democratic Korean society calling themselves ‘democratic activist’, ‘liberals’, ‘progressive-leftist’, etc. In disguise, they infiltrated into respective areas of Korean society, including politics, journalism, labor unions, education and even judiciary. Large scale anti-government protests, such as Mad Cow case or Korea-US FTA, were made possible because they have been expressing anti-US and anti-capitalism sentiments in Korea for many years. Finally, they succeeded in taking over the government by the impeachment with fabricated information regarding President Park Geun-hye. President Moon appointed most of the secretaries of the Blue House with Juche ideology followers, including the Chief Presidential Secretary. Moreover, in this dangerous situation for South Korea, he has been against deploying the THAAD system causing cracks in the Korea-US alliance. In addition, he abstained from the recent voting of the UN resolution L19 and L35. In the middle of the 90s, Hwang Jang-yeop, a North Korean defector as the highest government official, testified, “There are 50,000 resident spies in the Republic of Korea, even at the core of the government body”. In Germany, Günter Guillaume, secretary to Willy Brandt, was found to be a spy. So was Trương Đình Dzu, who slightly lost the presidential election of the South Vietnam. Similar cases will be revealed in the Unified Korea which is to come in a near future. This is our earnest plea and notice to our dear Americans, 1. Please refrain from supporting anti-US groups and avoid issuing green cards or visas to their members. Americans, especially liberals and their media, tend to cooperate with so-called progressive-leftist groups in Korea to achieve mutual liberal values. However, please be noted that the leftists in Korea are led by anti-US and pro-North Korea groups. It may sound hard to believe but we suggest that it is likely that the US liberals are supporting those who are against the US. Please stop supporting the anti-US groups. 2. The Republic of Korea is now in danger because it is occupied by Juche ideology followers. The impeachment of President Park Geun-hye is not a victory of democracy, but that of Juche ideology followers who took advantage of the generous framework of democracy in the Republic of Korea. Through labor unions, they took control of news and media. With clever fake news and beautiful rhetoric of democracy, they infuriated innocent Koreans and finally took over the presidency of the country. 3. The majority of Koreans support and love the US Your sacrifice in the 50s for the Koreans is noble and highly honored. We will never forget that. The US is our strongest ally and America deserves its due respect for Korea’s marvelous post-war success and prosperity. Unlike what is found in the Korean mainstream media, which is largely controlled by biased leftist, the majority of Korean people still support and appreciate the US as our strongest ally. Many Koreans are worried and against President Moon’s unilateral decisions that weaken the Korea-US alliance. As the falsehood of Juche ideology followers get more exposed to the public, critics of the Moon government will raise more fiercely. 4. Now is the time to declare freedom and truth and liberate the people in the slave country, North Korea. Without the sacrifice of the US, South Korea would not exist. It was a victory that saved the very existence of South Korea. However, it was only half of the people, with the other half of the Korean people left at the mercy of North Korean regime, which turned out to be the worst slave state on this earth and an imminent danger to the whole international society. Now is the time to declare freedom and truth and liberate the people in the slave country, North Korea. This is the most solemn call to humanity of our generation. We pray that the United States and Republic of Korea will achieve this lofty mission and open a new chapter for humanity together. God bless Korea, and God bless our dear friend, America.

Truth Forum Statement Against the Queer Festival at Seoul Plaza 1. WE DENOUNCE Seoul municipal government for granting permission for the use of Seoul Plaza for the (19th) Seoul Pride event! More than 210,000 people have signed a petition on the website of the Blue House, opposing the Queer Festival taking place in Seoul Plaza. According to a recent survey of public opinion, 82.9% of Seoul residents view excessive exposure of body parts and selling of sex toys at queer-themed events as inappropriate, 67% showed negative opinions on Seoul city government granting the permission for the event to be held in the Plaza. Activities and performances that harm universal sexual ethics were openly carried out in previous queer-themed events. We strongly denounce the decision of the city government for granting a permit for another Queer-themed event to be held in Seoul Plaza - instead of imposing adequate guidelines – ignoring the voice of its citizens. 2. WE ARE CONCERNED about the participation of university student councils at the Queer Festival! We are concerned about university student councils participating in the Queer Festival. We question their legitimacy as representatives of the entire student bodies and whether they have appropriately processed the opinions of their peers democratically. Some raise concerns over student representatives of their universities’ arbitrary decision makings on their participation in queer-themed events. The opinions of many students who do not agree with queer-themed events that harm healthy sexual ethics are being ignored around many campuses. 3. WE CALL FOR respect for various opinions about homosexuality! Academic and moral opinions on homosexuality should be left to the free judgement of the individual. Condemning different opinions as "hate-speech" and disrupting ex-homosexuals and anti-homosexuality activists from speaking on-campus are serious violations of academic freedom and freedom of expression. Recently, Seoul National University Truth Forum organized a special lecture with an ex-homosexual speaker and was pressured to cancel the venue. Applying views from America and Europe, labeling different opinions about homosexuality as hatred, ignoring traditional values of Korean culture, condemning people with different views as "homophobics" and "unenlightened people" are acts of self-righteousness and a new form of toadyism and cultural imperialism. 4. WE OPPOSE the Human Rights & Gender Equality program of Seoul National University. The Seoul National University Human Rights Centre developed the 'Human Rights & Gender Equality' education program and propagated it to many universities. However, the curriculum of the course is founded on social gender concept that acknowledges dozens of sexual distinctions, disseminates one-sided gender ideology. Presently, the SNU Human Rights Centre is pushing to impose disadvantages on those who do not complete the course. The Human Rights & Gender Equality education program of SNU Human Rights Centre coerces their views on students and SNU members who find the contents of the course to be against their conscience, academical and religious beliefs under the name of human rights. The Human Rights & Gender Equality education program of Seoul National University which spreads gender ideology must be amended or abolished. We express our grave concerns over the Seoul Pride taking place at Seoul Plaza, despite the majority of Seoul residents are against it. We express our grave concerns over ill-considered participation of the student representatives of those universities. We express our grave concerns over SNU Human Rights Center’s deliberate efforts to spread biased gender ideology which prohibits individual discretion on homosexuality. 2018.07.13 Truth Alliance SNU Truth Forum/ KU Truth Forum/ Yonsei Truth Forum / SWU Truth Forum/ Chongshin Truth Forum/ HUFS Truth Forum/ Inha Truth Forum/ KAIST Truth Forum/ Anyang University Truth Forum/ Ewha Truth Forum/ Handong Truth Forum/ Hanyang Truth Forum/ Hongik Truth Forum/ KCU Truth Forum/ KHU Truth Forum/ DST Truth Forum/ Busan University Truth Forum/ Sogang Truth Forum/ Sejong Truth Forum https://www.facebook.com/SNUTRUTHFORUM/posts/955175741310688 *Truth Form was first founded by students and alumni of Seoul National University, in the spring of 2017.

Truth Forum Statement [ Challenges of ROK ] Truth Form was first founded by students and alumni of Seoul National University in the spring of 2017. SNU Truth Forum stepped forward in time of crisis caused by prevailing anachronism and political instigation of illiberal Juche ideology followers among the leftists. Truth Forums in different universities in South Korea are now working in solidarity and formed Truth Alliance. Truth Alliance is committed to ensuring that more young Koreans understand and are inspired by the ideas of democracy based on freedom and truth, sound market economy, and nonbiased modern-day Korean history. Truth Alliance wishes to take part in preparation of liberation of North Korea and reunification of two Koreas and the future of the Republic of Korea. As of August 2018, Truth Alliance has more than 700 members, including students, alumni, and general citizens from over 70 universities in Korea. Truth Forum hosts forum events, group studies and publications in and out of universities. Core values of Truth Forum are as follows: 1. Honor the foundation of ROK 2. Pursue liberation of NK 3. Strengthen ROK-US alliance 4. Understand unfairness of Park’s impeachment 5. Respect Judeo-Christian worldview We strongly urge the international community to understand, 1. The Republic of Korea is now in danger because it is occupied by Juche ideology followers. President Moon is known as a democratic activist and human rights lawyer. However, we cannot simply praise him and the democratic movements of the Republic of Korea because it was led by Kim Il Sung Juche ideology followers. They regard the US as the instigator responsible for the division of the Korean peninsula, and the agent of capitalism and imperialism. Furthermore, they deny the legitimacy of the Republic of Korea which was established with the support of the US. President Moon appointed Juche ideology followers to hold most of the secretaries positions in the Blue House, including Im Jong Seok, the Chief Presidential Secretary, who was a leader of Juche ideology followers in the 80’s. In Germany, Günter Guillaume, secretary of willy Brandt was found to be a spy. So was Trương Đình Dzu, who slightly lost the presidential election of the South Vietnam. Many Koreans are worried that similar cases will be revealed in the ROK in the near future. 2. The majority of Koreans support a strong ROK-US alliance Sacrifice of the US people for the Koreans in the 50’s is noble and highly honored. We will never forget that. The US is our strongest ally and America deserves its due respect for Korea’s marvelous post-war success and prosperity. Unlike what is found in the mainstream media, which is largely controlled by biased leftists, the majority of Korean people still support and appreciate the US as our strongest ally. Many Koreans are worried and against President Moon’s unilateral decisions that weaken the Korea-US alliance.

Proclamation by Conservatives of the Republic of Korea We are conservatives. We believe every person is created in the image of God and has dignity. We believe in freedom with responsibility and in truth. We humbly recognize human limitations and trust divine providence. We respect experiences and results with prudence rather than utopian social engineering. It is a lesson of history that only free democracy and free market system ensure prosperity with freedom and dignity. However, the ghost of Marx is still haunting fed by hatred and anger. In South Korea, socialists with romantic nationalism have advocated for the slave-state of North Korea and denied legitimacy of the Republic of Korea established by the sincere support of Americans. Furthermore, they have incited anti-American sentiments and threatened free democracy and market economy. In the United States, socialism has been renewed among angry crowds to blind the American people with opportunistic populist policies masked in the name of ‘love’ and ‘peace’. We must confront this threat together. The United States should pay special attention to the current political turmoil in South Korea, because the fight that we are fighting now in Korea is about our shared values of freedom and truth, which are essential to the United States’ own identity and value system. ⓒ맥아더 기념관 공개사진 The US-ROK alliance is a value-alliance where the common values of freedom and truth are shared. The noble sacrifice of Americans on the Korean peninsula has not been in vain. South Korea owes its growth and prosperity to American commitment and has testified to American values. We must continue to ‘go together’ in our shared values of freedom and truth. After the Korean war, in his address in the US Congress, President Seungman Rhee expressed deepest gratitude to the Americans but also sorrow for the people of North Korea and China because they were left under the falsehood of communism. Years later, tens of millions of people died in China as a result of the great famine and cultural revolution. And North Korea has become the worst slave-state of our times. So we declare: Now is the time to liberate North Korea. The US-ROK alliance should remember this core mission. We also need to cooperate to help China not to revert back to the past but go forward in freedom and truth. So, here today, we, conservatives in the Republic of Korea, stand for a strong US-ROK alliance. The majority South Koreans are supporting a strong US-ROK alliance and we condemn all attempts to break it down. We declare that all people held as slaves within North Korea shall be free. We condemn all activities supporting the brutal regime of North Korea. We call for every people and every nation that defend freedom and truth to unite to achieve this mission.

[ 서울대학교 탄핵반대 시국선언 ] 일시: 2025년 2월 17일, 오전 11시 30분 장소: 서울대 행정관 아크로폴리스 **내일 서울대학교 탄핵반대 시국선언이 있습니다. 2.15일 토요일 트루스포럼에서 주최한 서울대학교 탄핵 반대 집회에서 대학생 진보 연합(대진연) 및 좌파 단체들이 훼방을 놓는 바람에 계획한 집회를 아무것도 시작하지 못하는 일이 있었습니다. 그런데 대진연이 2.17일 월요일에도 월요일 시국선언을 방해한다고 합니다. 행사를 진행조차 못하게 훼방을 놓는다고 합니다. 저희가 말 한 마디 할 수 없게 박살을 낸다고 합니다. 2월 17일 월요일, 오전 11시 30분에 시국선언을 진행하는데, 사람이 많을수록 대진연에서 저희의 연설을 방해하지 못하니 많이 와주시길 부탁드립니다! 현재 연세대를 시작으로 전국 대학교들이 연대해서 탄핵반대 시국선언을 진행 중입니다. 서울대가 가진 상징성을 생각할 때 서울대에 많은 분들이 참여해주신다면 다른 대학들의 시국선언도 전부 큰 힘을 받을 것이라 생각합니다. 저희는 평화로운 시국선언을 원합니다. 평화로운 시국선언을 할 수 있도록 함께해주세요! *내일 행사는 집회가 아닌 시국선언입니다! 탄핵 찬성측(대진연 등 좌파 단체)과 마찰이 빚어지지 않도록, 되도록 그들과 대화를 하지 마시고 바로 시국선언 장소로 와주시면 감사하겠습니다. 혹여라도 저들에게 빌미를 주지 않기 위함입니다! 저들이 아무리 공격적으로 나오더라도 대응하지 맙시다!
- 탄핵반대 서울대 집회를 방해한 극좌세력을 규탄한다! - - 극좌 반국가세력, 탄핵반대 서울대 집회 방해 - 극좌 맞불집회 신청자는 2017년 서울대 본부 폭력점거 주동자 - 사회변혁노동자당, 노동자연대, 진보당 등에 가입한 극좌 학생들이 서울대를 대변하지 못함 - 집회방해 세력은 종북, 이적단체인 대진연까지 서울대 안에 끌어들여 서울대 트루스포럼은 서울대 학생지원과에 집회신고를 하고 15일 오후 5시, 서울대 아크로에서 탄핵반대 집회를 진행할 예정이었습니다. 그런데 저희의 집회소식을 들은 좌파진영이 정당한 집회를 방해하려는 목적으로 같은 날, 같은 장소에 집회를 신청했습니다. 4시 집회를 신고한 사람은 서울대 안에서 사회변혁노동자당, 팔레스타인해방연대 활동을 이끌고 있는 인물입니다. 사회변혁노동자당은 지난 2016년 약 3개월간 서울대 본부를 폭력적 방법으로 무단 점거하고 난동을 주도한 극좌단체입니다. 당시 본부 내부엔 '성낙인(총장)을 위시한 너희 보직교수단 모두의 피로 본부를 빨갛게 물들이는 날까지 투쟁! 자본에 굴종하는 서울대 보직교수 처단! 민주노조 사수! 어용노조 분쇄! 자본주의 철폐! 사회주의 건설!' 이라는 섬뜩한 문구가 적혀 있었습니다. 이들은 자본주의 철폐와 사회주의 건설을 목적으로 하는 극좌 반국가세력입니다. 안타까운 것은 외부세력과 연결된 소수 극좌 학생들의 목소리를 서울대 일반의 목소리인양 왜곡하는 좌파 언론의 추태입니다. 비록 지난 12월 5일, 갑작스런 계엄으로 흥분한 많은 서울대 학부생들이 전체학생총회 통해 대통령 탄핵을 지지하는 결의를 채택했으나, 그 후 추진된 '윤석열 퇴진 특별위원회'의 설치는 만장일치로 부결되고 있습니다. 계엄령 이후 서울대인들의 인식이 크게 변하고 있다는 증거입니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 좌경화된 언론은 사회변혁당, 노동자연대, 진보당과 같은 일부 극좌성향 학생들의 의견을 서울대의 일반적인 의견인양 호도하고 있습니다. 5시 집회가 신고된 상황에서 4시 집회를 받아 준 대학당국의 대응도 안타까운 점이 있습니다. 하지만 근본적 책임은 탄핵반대 집회가 5시에 있음을 알면서도 악의적으로 동일한 장소에 맞불집회를 신고한 극좌세력에게 있습니다. 이들 극좌세력은 저녁이 되자 종북, 이적단체인 대진연까지 서울대 안에 불러들여 난동을 부렸습니다. 이러한 일련의 상황은 지금의 탄핵사태의 본질이 대한민국을 긍정하는 세력과 부정하는 반국가세력 간의 체제전쟁임을 다시 한 번 증명하고 있습니다. 서울대 트루스포럼은 학내에서 불필요한 대치상황을 지속하는 것은 무의미하다는 판단하에, 학교측과 경찰의 권고를 수용하여 당초 계획한대로 8시에 평화적으로 집회를 마무리했습니다. 15일 집회엔 김은구 대표의 성명서 낭독과 함께 24학번 김민섭, 20학번 이서진, 이재춘 전 러시아 대사(법대59), 양선엽 전 산업자원부 실장(경영79), 최수용 전 국정원 공작관(중문84), 강승완 서울대 교수(의예92), 이진수 세이브코리아 기획위원장(경제96) 등 연설이 예정되어 있었습니다. 극좌세력의 방해로 계획된 행사가 제대로 진행하지 못해 안타까운 마음입니다. 민주주의를 빙자하며 대한민국의 정체성을 부정하는 극좌세력의 민낯을 드러낸 사건이었습니다. 서울대 트루스포럼은 추후 상황을 고려하여 적절한 시기에 위 연사들을 모시고 다시 한 번 집회를 준비하도록 하겠습니다. 함께해 주시고 응원해 주신 모든 분들께 깊이 감사드립니다. 감사합니다. 2025.02.16. 서울대 트루스포럼 대표 김은구 * 2월 17일(월) 오전 11시반, 서울대 아크로에서 학부생들이 중심이 된 '탄핵반대 시국선언'이 진행됩니다. 반대측의 거센 저항이 예상되고 있습니다. 현장에서 많은 분들이 함께 응원해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
