On the 5th, Jeon posted a message titled "This is Jeon Han-gil. Posting my joining greeting" on the 'President National Defense Lawyers' website.

He stated, "I have witnessed the Democratic Party's atrocities, which have ignored the Republic of Korea and its people, paralyzed the executive branch through legislative rampage, 29 impeachment attempts, and unilateral cuts to the government budget, blinded only by power, and trying to sink the free democratic Republic of Korea by destroying democracy." He added, "I thought the country would perish if we remained silent, so even if it meant suffering losses and criticism at first, I decided to step forward," explaining his reason for joining.

He said, "I oppose the impeachment of President Yoon and believe that unconditionally restoring him to office to recover the national system is the only way to save the Republic of Korea, the 20s and 30s generations, and the people. I am fighting with everything I have now," and added, "I love free democracy and fully trust Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, who possesses both ability and character, and thus I am joining here."

Furthermore, he said, "President Yoon's approval rating has already exceeded 50%, and if it reaches 60% soon, the Constitutional Court will never approve the president's impeachment against the will of the people," adding, "The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic, and sovereignty belongs to the people. The Constitutional Court cannot exist above the people."

Meanwhile, the National Defense Lawyers website was established by Jayujiseong Media, which operates the online media Freejin News, launched in June last year. Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun, President Yoon's legal counsel, explained on Facebook on the 2nd, "The National Defense Lawyers for President Yoon Seok-yeol is a temporary organization that is not a legal defense team but is intended to enable ordinary citizens, especially young people, who want to support and help President Yoon, to systematically operate nationwide."
