Regarding singer IU's support for fans participating in a rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, Jeon (former), a member of the People's Power Emergency Response Committee, said, "I don't think I've revealed my political color before, but I was sad."

Park Eun-sik, a former member of the emergency committee, said on his Facebook page on the 22nd, "I was truly sad to see an article that IU sponsored a pro-impeachment rally."

Former emergency committee member Park said, "I have been rooting for IU since her rookie days."

He said to some conservative supporters who are campaigning for a "no-sale" against IU, "I hope you don't do that. In this situation, the conservative right should become a more attractive group and try to be supported by competent artists like IU," he claimed.

"Just as IU made efforts to cut bones until it was recognized by the public, the power of our people should impress the public," he stressed.

Earlier on the 14th, IU had a "pre-payment system" in restaurants all over the place for fans attending a rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon in Yeouido, Seoul.

At the time, his agency, Lee Dam Entertainment, announced, "We prepared food and hot packs in hopes that the frozen hands of 'Uanna' (IU fandom), who attended the rally with an eyeball (cheering stick) in cold weather and brightened up the surroundings, will warm up at least a little."

Since then, some conservative supporters have boycotted companies modeled by IU, and some have reported IU to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
