K-pop, carols, free food at South Korea impeachment protests

Songs, SCHOOL Recollections

A slightly modified edition of the well-known Feliz Navidad Christmas song by song Baek Ja, which has an impeachment-themed theme, also went viral last week.

” Christmas is joyful when Yoon Suk Yeol retires”, the song’s lyrics go.

Last Wednesday night, in front of the National Assembly building, protesters carrying signs that said” Arrest ( Yoon ) immediately” and” Impeach”, waved lit candles and cellphones as the singer performed the song.

South Koreans even have cranked up romantic music.

In the late 1970s, the government started offering exercise classes in schools, and many South Koreans who attended schools in the 1980s and 1990s are fond of the programs: simple, repetitive actions performed to cheerful music.

Since last week, activists have performed the routines to the common rhythm while singing:” Arrest Yoon Suk Yeol”.

Some people used padded coats and hats, armed with glow sticks, to fend off the cold weather.
