Questioning Democracy Again... Democracy Park Hosts Special Lecture on First Anniversary of Impeachment

Special Lecture by Former Constitutional Court Justice Moon Hyungbae
Citizen Participation Program Featuring Exhibition and Performances

Democracy Park will host a special lecture featuring former Constitutional Court Justice Moon Hyungbae on April 11 at 2:30 p.m. in the Main Hall of Democracy Park, marking the first anniversary of the Constitutional Court's impeachment verdict against former President Yoon Suk-yeol.

This lecture is organized to share insights on the meaning of democracy and the role of citizens, as seen through the eyes of Moon Hyungbae, who directly presided over the impeachment proceedings and delivered the dismissal decision. The lecture, titled "Democracy Seen Through the Impeachment Decision," was open to participants on a first-come, first-served basis via the Democracy Park website from March 10, and all slots were quickly filled.

The event will serve as the closing ceremony for the ongoing exhibition, "Citizen’s Light Ignites in Busan: The 1st Anniversary Archive of the 12·3 Illegal Martial Law Blockade," which reflects on the 123 days from the declaration of martial law to the announcement of the impeachment decision. This exhibition has been held at the special exhibition room of Democracy Park from December 3 last year until April 4 this year.

On the day of the event, there will also be performances reflecting on the spirit of civic resistance and solidarity demonstrated during the impeachment process. Additionally, various "objects of the square" such as cheering sticks, flags, and placards used in the public squares at the time will be displayed, adding further meaning to the occasion.

Democracy Park plans to continue hosting special lectures on the theme of democracy in June and October following this event.
