Gorgeous glow sticks and idol light sticks.

From folk songs to K-pop.

The impeachment rally in front of the Yeouido National Assembly is like a festival.

The way the stern message is released in an upbeat mood shows a different level of protest culture.

IT technology has also been incorporated into the rally.

Those who wanted to serve coffee and snacks for participants who could endure the cold conveyed their feelings using the pre-payment system from a distance, and it was quickly delivered through social media.

Other citizens made and shared maps to make it easier to find pre-payment places and toilets.

Mature protests spread through streaming, and became a catalyst for more citizens to the scene.

With the impact of martial law lingering, citizens are united by creating a new culture of protest.
