Jeon Han-gil, a former Korean history instructor turned political YouTuber, has publicly called on celebrities such as Yoo Jae-suk, IU, and BTS to join in demanding a re-election.
Jeon attended the "June 3 Election Fraud National Report Rally," hosted by Freedom and Innovation near Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on June 10. During the event, he stated, "I am making a request to famous singers like IU, world stars like BTS, and top broadcasters like Yoo Jae-suk."
He continued, "What is the reason you have gained popularity and earned money? Haven't you always said it was thanks to the love of the people?" He emphasized, "As much as you have received that love, shouldn't you now raise your voices for the people?"
Jeon explained, "When I ask you to raise your voices, I do not mean for you to take a political side." He added, "As much as you have been loved by the public, I am asking you to show positive influence by uniting to demand a re-election for the sake of the people who love you and to help them reclaim their voting rights." He further remarked, "If you are a celebrity who has received the public's love, shouldn't you be able to provide positive influence to the people?"
On that day, Jeon also urged university professors and civic groups, in addition to celebrities, to join the demand for a re-election. Claiming that the shortage of ballots during the June 3 local elections was a result of election fraud, he went as far as to say, "Anyone who denies this is not a citizen of the Republic of Korea."
