I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of Charlie Kirk. He upheld individual liberty and personal responsibility as the foundation of a healthy society, fiercely opposing socialism and leftist ideologies. Charlie stood against the distortion of truth and suppression of free speech under political correctness, advocating for a life of conviction. His bold example inspired countless young people. May his words continue to remind us of the importance of freedom, justice, and principled living.

Across the world, we are witnessing a rise in extremism, authoritarianism, and social unrest driven by leftist ideologies, socialism, and pro-China forces. In these troubling times, the passing of Charlie Kirk, a courageous voice for freedom, responsibility, and justice, brings even greater sorrow.
Though South Korea currently faces growing instability under a pro-China, left-wing administration, the spirit of the conservative movement—committed to liberty and democratic values—remains alive.
As we reflect on Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy, may we reaffirm our commitment to the principles he stood for, and pray that those values will continue to thrive in Korea and around the world.
