Recently, a post titled "It seems the Taegukgi Brigade is paying for part-time work" has been gaining attention online.
On the 4th, user A posted on their social media a photo of a white-haired man surrounded by several middle-aged individuals, looking down at a clipboard, along with the caption, "It seems the Taegukgi Brigade is paying for part-time work." As of the morning of the 9th, this post has recorded 1.2 million views. A claimed to CBS No Cut News, "I took the photo myself while passing by Blue Square, where they were calling out names," and asserted, "The person holding the list called out names, and those who responded answered back as if in acknowledgment."
The 'Taegukgi Brigade' is a nickname derived from the image of waving the national flag during rallies, primarily composed of far-right hardline conservatives. They rallied in opposition to the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye eight years ago. Following the December 3rd rebellion, they have been holding rallies near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, opposing the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol.
Previously, there were suspicions that the Taegukgi Brigade disappeared simultaneously after a certain period, resembling the fixed working hours of office workers.
Meanwhile, a representative of the Korea Corrective Movement Headquarters explained in a phone call with CBS No Cut News, "There is a person claiming to have witnessed people holding the national flag and the American flag receiving money at a recent rally, but it is presumed to be unrelated to our organization."
"It is unrelated to our organization."
Receiving payment for part-time work is serious, but even if it is not true, what does it mean to check the list in such a manner at so-called rallies or protests?
Their protests do not even deserve to be called protests.
