The civic group Judicial Justice Citizens' Action (Sasaehaeng) held a press conference on the 5th in front of the National Investigation Headquarters of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Seodaemun-gu, announcing that they would file charges against Jeon for incitement of rebellion and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.


Sasaehaeng stated, "Jeon repeatedly engaged in unjust attacks against some Constitutional Court justices and denied the constitutional review itself, thereby justifying popular noncompliance and invasion and violence against the Constitutional Court in the event of President Yoon's impeachment being accepted."


Sasaehaeng also said that Jeon defamed some Constitutional Court justices, including Moon Hyung-bae, acting president of the Constitutional Court, on YouTube, "repeatedly using definitive expressions and spreading his claims as facts to a large number of citizens, significantly damaging their social reputation."



On the 1st, at the 'National Emergency Prayer Meeting' held at Busan Station Square, Jeon claimed, "The people will not accept the judgment of unjust justices. The people will sweep through the Constitutional Court."
