Kwon Yuri, a member of the girl group Girls' Generation, pre-paid for gimbap on the 14th for participants in the protest calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol to enjoy. Singer IU prepared bread and rice cakes.
According to the entertainment industry on the 14th, Yuri wrote on a fan communication platform the day before (13th), "Everyone, eat gimbap and fill your stomachs tomorrow. Stay safe, stay healthy. Sing 'Into the New World' well." She added, "I pre-paid for gimbap for fans at a gimbap shop near Dangsan Station," and left a message stating that fans can receive the gimbap by showing their Girls' Generation light stick, known as 'Sowonbong.' Dangsan Station is one station away from Yeouido National Assembly Station, where the protest calling for President Yoon's impeachment is held.
"Into the New World" is the debut song of Girls' Generation, released in 2007. It was sung by students of Ewha Womans University at an on-campus protest during the early stages of the political momentum toward the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye in 2016, leading to its performance at various protest sites. In this protest demanding impeachment, chiefly led by women in their 20s, it is being sung like a 'people's song.'
Regarding this protest, Yuri wrote, "Are you doing okay in the cold? The light sticks looked so pretty and cool," adding, "I saw 'Into the New World' being played very well. I'm also listening along every day."
IU prepared bread and rice soup for fans participating in the protest calling for President Yoon's impeachment that day. IU's agency, EDAM Entertainment, announced the previous day on the official fan café, "With 'Uaena's' (IU fandom) cold hands carrying the light stick 'Ike' attending the rally in chilly weather, hoping their hands warm up even a little, we prepared food and hot packs."
The food prepared by IU includes 100 pieces of bread, 100 drinks, 100 bowls of rice soup and beef bone soup, 100 bowls of ttaro-gukbap, and 100 rice cakes. Even if not a member of the official fan club, participants in the rally can receive the food and hot packs on a first-come, first-served basis.
Singer Lee Seung-hwan performed on stage at the candlelight vigil calling for President Yoon's impeachment held in front of the National Assembly the previous day. Lee sang songs such as "So much love scattered into the world," "Do you love," "Dunk shot," and "Ask."
Regarding the re-vote on the impeachment bill against President Yoon, Lee Seung-hwan said, "I was annoyed by the People Power Party, but we should welcome those (People Power Party lawmakers who cast affirmative votes). However, our embrace is too narrow to accept everyone," adding, "Let's only accept the first 10. People Power Party lawmakers should hurry." He continued, "Aren't you the ones who prioritize yourselves over the people?" adding, "Listen to your heart and be sure to vote 'yes' dreaming of being a future lawmaker."
Singer Jang Beom-june posted a music video for the new song "When war breaks out" on Instagram on the day, saying, "With the hope of providing some warmth and comfort to many who protect our precious daily life in this cold winter, I present 'When war breaks out (No)' made a year and a half ago after receiving an emergency disaster alert."
He added, "War must not happen. Not even the smallest trace of war should emerge in our times," expressing appreciation to those enduring on the cold pavement, saying, "I am very grateful to all of you. I love you all. I confidently believe today that we can spend a happy Christmas with family, friends, and loved ones at the end of the year thanks to you."
