Wreaths for Kim Min-seok Installed on National Assembly Exterior
Yesterday, I heard in a KakaoTalk group chat that these wreaths could not enter the National Assembly, but today I confirmed they were neatly installed on the exterior wall.
Wreaths celebrating Kim Min-seok's election as party leader were temporarily removed due to a rally registration issue during their installation on the exterior wall of the National Assembly, leading to a commotion before they were reinstalled.
Yesterday, I heard in a KakaoTalk group chat that these wreaths could not enter the National Assembly, but today I confirmed they were neatly installed on the exterior wall.
I received news not from Facebook but from a KakaoTalk group chat that these wreaths could not be installed at the National Assembly. Requests to 'protect the wreaths' were posted, sparking my curiosity about what was happening.
When I visited the site, the wreaths were neatly placed on the exterior wall of the National Assembly. There, I met Ricky, who runs 'Ricky's Perspective on Society,' and heard the full story.
Ricky was guarding the site and explained in detail how these wreaths were installed. I watched the interview screen to hear his explanation.
The reason the wreaths could not be installed initially is that a procedure is required to place wreaths in front of the National Assembly. For locations like the National Assembly, only those who have registered a rally are allowed to install wreaths, and failure to comply inevitably leads to friction with the police.
Due to the wreath installation regulations, there was a struggle with the police, and all the wreaths were initially returned. However, fortunately, Ricky had previously registered a rally, and thanks to that registration, the wreaths could be brought back and installed.
Initially, after a struggle with the police, all the wreaths were returned. However, when 'Newdari' members, women in their 20s and 30s, who had already ordered wreaths, found installation difficult, they inquired around and connected with Ricky, who had a rally registration. Thanks to this dramatic connection, the wreaths could be reinstalled at this location.
They inquired in various directions to resolve the issue.
As a result, a connection was made with Ricky, and these wreaths could be installed in front of the National Assembly. Ricky recalled that it was a very dramatic situation.
Ricky was busy yesterday following Kim Min-seok, the party leader's schedule. After visiting Gonghwamaeul, he received a call and participated in the process of placing the wreaths, having a very busy time. He revealed that he had previously held rallies weekly or even daily to convey criticism of Chairman Chung Cheong-rae.
Through these rallies, he continuously utilized the space in front of the National Assembly by extending his registrations.
He said he never imagined these rally spaces would be so useful. He expressed gratitude, saying this situation was, in fact, thanks to former Chairman Chung Cheong-rae.
He stated that he was happy to have played a role in setting up the wreaths. He added that seeing these wreaths after Kim Min-seok's election as party leader made him even happier.
Regarding the question of the wreath exhibition period, there is a rain forecast for tomorrow, and discussions were held with the National Assembly and police. However, concerns were raised about flowers falling and safety issues due to wind if it rains. Therefore, the wreaths are scheduled to be installed only until 9 PM tonight.
If it rains tomorrow, many flowers could fall, and wind could cause safety problems. Considering these points, it was decided to display the wreaths only until 9 PM tonight.
Many people wondered what 'Newdari' means. 'Newdari' is said to be named with the meaning, 'to always be a bridge connecting Lee Jae-myung with Lee Jae-myung.' This shows the nature of the group, which supports Chairman Lee Jae-myung.
These wreaths were completely removed as our broadcast began. The removal, scheduled for 9 PM tonight due to tomorrow's rain, was brought forward to the start of the broadcast.
