"I wanted to end the rebellion, the rebellion that hadn't been resolved by the dawn of the new year."
"By order of the nation, arrest the insurrectionist Yoon Suk Yeol immediately!"
"The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) will open the way to the front of the President’s official residence, where the Public Prosecutor’s Office hasn’t ventured."
"I will continue the Battle of Namtaeryeong, the Democratic Labor Union called, so I went."
"At first, I held up a lightstick, but as my anger grew I began to use it to join in the waving of flags."
"I greet you with ‘Toojaeng!’ (struggle)!* I'm a Lightning (sudden) activist. Toojaeng!"

The Corruption Investigation Office applies for an extension for the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol and relegates its execution instead to the National Office of Investigation of the Korean National Police Agency. This decision was made because of its failure to execute the warrant within its expiration period due to Yoon’s adamant refusal to comply, with the presence of large numbers of the Presidential Security Service and military troops physically guarding his residence.
