Starting around 11 a.m. that day, Hong held a solo protest for about an hour in front of the Blue House, holding signs with phrases such as "President Moon Jae-in, let's not do this until the very end" and "Stop the deterioration of the Media Arbitration Act."

Through Facebook that day, Hong said, "My first experience with a solo protest felt like being punished alone for a mistake I made in elementary school," adding, "It was a strange feeling because President Moon Jae-in is the one making the mistake, but I am the one being punished."

He emphasized, "For the sake of the Democratic Party's presidential election and for the safety of President Moon after his term ends, it is time for the president to step forward and stop the harmful media law," adding, "That is the national interest."
