Director Park Chan-wook Supports Citizens at Impeachment Rally

On December 14, renowned filmmaker Park Chan-wook showed his support for citizens attending a rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol. According to reports, Park purchased all the baked goods from a bakery cafe located in Yeouido, Seoul, to distribute to the rally participants.

A staff member from the bakery confirmed that Park made the purchase directly through the owner, stating, "Director Park Chan-wook paid for all the bread today." The bakery owner also took to social media to express gratitude, saying, "All the baked goods today were bought by Director Park Chan-wook to be shared with citizens at the Yeouido rally. We sincerely thank him for this gesture."

The rally is part of ongoing protests demanding the swift impeachment and removal of President Yoon Suk-yeol, who has faced criticism for declaring a state of emergency. A large turnout is expected as the vote on the second impeachment motion against the president approaches. Park's involvement in providing food for the participants highlights his solidarity with the movement.

Previously, a coalition of 88 film industry professionals issued an urgent statement, signed by 6,388 individuals, calling for the president's immediate resignation. Park Chan-wook joined this call, advocating for the impeachment of President Yoon, who has been a source of turmoil in the political landscape.

In addition, other celebrities have also shown support for the rally participants. Singer IU and Girls' Generation's Yuri pre-purchased food and drinks at nearby restaurants and cafes for fans attending the rally. Additionally, singer Lee Seung-hwan performed a 'no guarantee' concert near the National Assembly on December 13 to uplift the spirits of citizens braving the cold.
