On the 15th, the day of the execution of the arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president, a conservative community said, "Can you sacrifice one elderly person?" "Let's turn the issue into self-immolation or self-immolation," is causing a big controversy.

The article, which encouraged extreme action to raise anti-arrest public opinion, quickly spread through social networking services (SNS) and raised concerns.

In fact, after President Yoon's arrest, a case of self-immolation occurred near the building of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit while being investigated by the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.

A man in his 50s was taken to a hospital after suffering third-degree burns after attempting to set himself on fire near a high-ranking government official's crime investigation office building.He underwent surgery immediately after the accident

but has not regained consciousness.

The problem is that inflammatory remarks continue in online spaces such as political rallies and YouTube.In addition to extreme words such as

"We should not trust the Constitutional Court and the Court" and "We should sacrifice," there are cases of promoting hostility by pointing out certain people as traitors.

Experts stressed that in order to prevent such an extreme situation, citizens must not be swayed by agitation.

In particular, media platforms such as YouTube point out the need for media literacy to distinguish between unregulated content and reports from established media.

He also advised that it is important to embrace fact-based information, actively communicate with other users, and strengthen communication to alleviate social conflicts.
