While the aftermath of the emergency martial law continues to the entertainment industry, stars are raising their voices and expressing their beliefs.
Actor Ko Hyun-jung expressed her support by leaving a comment on a statement on emergency martial law posted by director Byun Young-joo. Director Byun posted a statement from his alma mater, Ewha Women's University's Political and Diplomatic Studies Department on the 7th, "'How to keep your dignity by strengthening your soles and standing up no matter what tomorrow comes.'"

I earnestly appeal to you to protect your youth, your blue spring, and your spring in Seoul again" is included. In response, Ko Hyun-jung left a candle emoji in the comments and helped Ewha Womans University students' statements with director Byun.

Actor Ko Min-si also revealed the candle on her personal account. He posted a candle emoji with the short text "3:00," referring indirectly to the `Candlelight Expedition.'
Ko Min-si appeared in the KBS2 Monday-Tuesday drama 『The Youth of May』 in 2021. 'May Youth' is a work set in Gwangju during the period when martial law expanded in May 1980, and Ko Min-si played nurse Kim Myung-hee in the play.

Actor Goa-sung posted a photo of Yeouido, where the candlelight vigil to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol will be held. On this day, he wrote on his personal account, "I don't like Korea X. I posted a picture of the 63 Building located in Yeouido with the words, `Because I have to save Korea.' This is a quote from the title of the movie starring Go Ah-sung, 'I Hate Korea'.
Earlier, at 10:25 p.m. on the 3rd, President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an emergency decree in a public statement, but declared the lifting of the emergency decree within six hours in response to the National Assembly's demand for lifting it. Later, President Yoon made a public statement at 10 a.m. on the 7th, saying, `The declaration of emergency martial law came out of desperation as the president who is the final person in charge of state affairs.' `But in the process, I caused anxiety and inconvenience to the people. I am very sorry, and I sincerely apologize to the people who must have been very surprised." He then said "I will not avoid the issue of legal and political responsibility in connection with the declaration of martial law."There will never be anything like a second martial law." The National Assembly held a plenary session on the 7th to vote on the impeachment bill against President Yoon and the independent counsel bill for Kim Gun-hee. However, members of the People's Power, except for the Ahn Cheol Soo, left the plenary session room after the vote on the Special Prosecutor's Law on First Lady Kim and did not participate in the vote on President Yoon's impeachment. Therefore, President Yoon's impeachment bill fell short of two-thirds (200 seats) of the registered lawmakers, which is a quorum of votes, and in fact went through the process of rejection.
