It was revealed that Min participated in a large-scale rally contesting the presidential election results held in Washington DC on the 12th (local time).
On the 13th, Min posted on Facebook, "I attended the Million MAGA March event today. President Trump tweeted a related video, and I appeared in two places," along with photos of himself at the rally.
Earlier, President Trump shared a video on his Twitter showing his supporters gathering in Washington DC for a large-scale march rally. The rally was held to support President Trump by raising allegations of illegal election practices ahead of the nationwide Electoral College vote that officially confirms the U.S. presidential election results.

Meanwhile, Min had raised suspicions of election fraud after losing the April 15 general election in Incheon Yeonsu-eul.
In October, Min also held a solo picket protest in front of the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court in the U.S., holding a placard that read "Korea's democracy is dead." At the time, he said, "The April 15 general election was fraudulent. China is behind it," and warned, "America, if you are not careful, you will be the next victim."
Additionally, last month, after President Trump declared he would not concede the U.S. presidential election results, Min claimed he would form the "Mint Alliance," named after the initials of Min Kyung-wook and Trump. On his Facebook on the 7th of last month, he said, "President Trump and I will ride the big wave of election fraud together," adding, "I named it Mint after the initials of Min Kyung-wook and Trump. Isn't it fresh and fragrant? I hope you call it the Mint Alliance."
Such claims by Min also drew criticism from within the opposition party.
