On New Year's Day, President Yoon Suk Yeol sent a letter to anti-impeachment rally participants saying he would fight to the end, leading to political repercussions.

The ruling party is reticent, but it also reads its bewilderment, and the opposition party has raised the level of criticism, saying it is nothing short of a "mobilization order" imposed on the far-right.

President Yoon's message to supporters in front of his residence seems to refrain from making public comments.

The leadership refrained from speaking directly, and although it is not a matter of making an official position at the party level, only a short answer came out through the spokesperson's mouth that was concerned about a conflict between the camps.

[Shin Dong-wook / Senior spokesman for People's Power] The party doesn't know that part in detail. It is right to refrain from a situation in which our society is divided into two extreme camps and the public should be concerned about physical conflict....]

However, as President Yoon's message is aimed at some strong supporters who are virtually opposed to impeachment, it is true that the party leadership, which has just formed an emergency committee, can read embarrassment.

There are also many voices of concern within the party.

Now is the time when the party needs to settle quietly, but it is not appropriate for the president to appear as if he is fueling division.

Some said earlier in the day that the timing of impeachment was accelerated by the issuance of arrest warrants and the appointment of constitutional judges, reflecting the urgent situation of the president.

The Democratic Party of Korea blasted President Yoon's letter, calling it a "mobilization order for far-right forces."

He also issued an emergency order at the National Assembly, saying he did not know how the enthusiastic supporters, who were encouraged by President Yoon's message, would react.

[Jin Sung-joon / Minjoo Party Policy Committee Chairman: A Yoon Suk Yeol of a mobster of civil war is hiding in his official residence and instigating a civil war. Blatantly refusing to enforce laws by state agencies, they shout to fight together.

The People's Power, which has put harmony and reform as one thing, clearly wants to keep some distance from the president's message, but

At the same time, some analysts say that they have fallen into a "dilemma" where they cannot help but be wary of the rigid conservatives.
