A special wreath placed at the father's mortuary of Lee Ki-hun, a lawmaker of the Democratic Party of Korea, has become a hot topic.

On the 15th, Rep. Lee released a photo of a close-knit wreath he faced at his father's mortuary in Ilsan, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on his Facebook page.

On the left ribbon of the condolence flower, the phrase "Your son protects democracy" is written, and on the right ribbon, the phrase "Rest in peace of the late Samga" is written. The person who sent the wreath was not identified.

Lawmaker Lee said, "When I returned from the impeachment vote in the afternoon after seeing my father's last trip early in the morning, I found this harmony and felt emotional as if I had received great comfort," adding, "I received encouragement and support from many people." Not only those who came to the funeral to pay their respects, but also my social network service (SNS), YouTube, and article comments are receiving overflowing comfort," he wrote.

"My father did a great job after a day that my son spent today." I think you must have left with joy, and I cheer up, he said, adding, "Thank you again to my fellow citizens who are with me on this whole journey."

Lawmaker Lee fell down due to his father's old age a few days before the December 3 emergency martial law incident, but he was unable to leave the National Assembly due to continued emergency waiting. Later, on the 14th, the day of the impeachment motion, he appeared in the plenary session of the National Assembly wearing black mourning clothes and participated in the vote.

Later, when the impeachment motion against President Yoon was passed, he wrote on Facebook, "It is a great victory for the people," and "I now return to Ilsan (to the funeral hall) with a lighter heart to pay for my father's funeral."

In this regard, Rep. Lee confessed, "I felt heavy and guilty about being a child not being able to stay with my sick father even though I slept on the sofa of the National Assembly building and under the desk of the plenary session for more than 10 days." Rep. Woo Won-sik, chairman of the National Assembly, also visited the mortuary on the 15th to pay his respects, Rep. Lee said.

Lee is known to be a descendant of independence activists. Lee's grandfather was arrested and jailed for supporting the independence movement during Japanese colonial era and died shortly after his release.
