Lee Su-jin (Democratic Party) expressed her intent to propose a resolution, alongside civil society and members of the National Assembly, urging the Yoon administration to halt its humiliating diplomacy.

 

Finally, Lee Na-young (Chairperson of the Korean Council), Lee Guk-eon (Chairperson of the Citizens on Imperial Japan's Labor Mobilization), and Bang Hak-jin (Researcher at the Center for Historical Truth and Justice) delivered the 1000 People Declaration and concluded the event with a ceremony.
