Truth Forum Statement
[ Challenges of ROK ]
Truth Form was first founded by students and alumni of Seoul National University in the spring of 2017. SNU Truth Forum stepped forward in time of crisis caused by prevailing anachronism and political instigation of illiberal Juche ideology followers among the leftists. Truth Forums in different universities in South Korea are now working in solidarity and formed Truth Alliance. Truth Alliance is committed to ensuring that more young Koreans understand and are inspired by the ideas of democracy based on freedom and truth, sound market economy, and nonbiased modern-day Korean history. Truth Alliance wishes to take part in preparation of liberation of North Korea and reunification of two Koreas and the future of the Republic of Korea. As of August 2018, Truth Alliance has more than 700 members, including students, alumni, and general citizens from over 70 universities in Korea. Truth Forum hosts forum events, group studies and publications in and out of universities.
Core values of Truth Forum are as follows:
1. Honor the foundation of ROK
2. Pursue liberation of NK
3. Strengthen ROK-US alliance
4. Understand unfairness of Park’s impeachment
5. Respect Judeo-Christian worldview
We strongly urge the international community to understand,
1. The Republic of Korea is now in danger because it is occupied by Juche ideology followers.
President Moon is known as a democratic activist and human rights lawyer. However, we cannot simply praise him and the democratic movements of the Republic of Korea because it was led by Kim Il Sung Juche ideology followers. They regard the US as the instigator responsible for the division of the Korean peninsula, and the agent of capitalism and imperialism. Furthermore, they deny the legitimacy of the Republic of Korea which was established with the support of the US. President Moon appointed Juche ideology followers to hold most of the secretaries positions in the Blue House, including Im Jong Seok, the Chief Presidential Secretary, who was a leader of Juche ideology followers in the 80’s. In Germany, Günter Guillaume, secretary of willy Brandt was found to be a spy. So was Trương Đình Dzu, who slightly lost the presidential election of the South Vietnam. Many Koreans are worried that similar cases will be revealed in the ROK in the near future.
2. The majority of Koreans support a strong ROK-US alliance
Sacrifice of the US people for the Koreans in the 50’s is noble and highly honored. We will never forget that. The US is our strongest ally and America deserves its due respect for Korea’s marvelous post-war success and prosperity. Unlike what is found in the mainstream media, which is largely controlled by biased leftists, the majority of Korean people still support and appreciate the US as our strongest ally. Many Koreans are worried and against President Moon’s unilateral decisions that weaken the Korea-US alliance. As the falsehood of Juche ideology followers gets more exposed to the public, critics of the Moon government will raise more fiercely.
