On the 10th, Professor Shim wrote on social media (SNS), "President Yoon's approval rating has never fallen to single digits, and after the (martial law-related) national address, the approval rating rebounded from 11% and has continued to rise." He added, "(Korea) Gallup is not currently conducting approval rating surveys for President Yoon, but since the anti-impeachment public opinion has already exceeded 30%, it should be assumed that Gallup's presidential approval rating is also in the 30% range."

He also said, "Because of the strong demands from the support base, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the opportunistic attitude within the People Power Party, which tried to distance itself from President Yoon and avoid responsibility, to be maintained."

Furthermore, he noted, "It is noteworthy that Minister Kim Moon-soo (of Employment and Labor), who maintained his principles and integrity during the impeachment phase, has emerged as a definite conservative presidential contender." He explained, "The simultaneous rise of Minister Kim alongside President Yoon's comeback is an important signal confirming President Yoon's influence in the next power structure." He added, "President Yoon has now clearly become a casting vote, holding the leadership in the power structure within the right-wing."

Professor Shim stated, "The more intense the attempts to arrest the president become, the more likely it will be perceived as ignoring and undermining the public sentiment, which approaches 40% of the people," and "Ultimately, this backlash will further strengthen President Yoon's political position."
