The issue has become a major talking point for Yoon supporters who say his martial law declaration was justified, and now hope their concerns will resonate with Trump.
“He could really help President Yoon,” said university professor Lee Ho-chung, adding that the audience for his English “Stop The Steal” poster was both Americans and Koreans.
Pyeong In-su, 71, holding a flag of the US and South Korea with the words “Let’s go together” in English and Korean, said he was banking on Trump’s return to save Yoon.
“I hope that Trump will take office soon and raise his voice against the rigged elections in our country plus around the world so as to help President Yoon to return (to power) swiftly,” Pyeong said.
Seo Hye-kyoung who was holding a “Stop the Steal” sign with the Chinese flag claimed that “Chinese people have come to our country and stole our votes”.
When asked about the NEC’s public denial of election fraud, Seo said she trusts Yoon. “The president is not someone who would say something wrong,” she said.
