K-pop stars IU and Girls’ Generation’s Yuri have stepped forward to support fans attending rallies calling for the impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol in Seoul’s Yeouido district, showcasing their care and solidarity with warm gestures.
IU’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, announced on December 13 through her official fan café that the singer had pre-purchased food for fans participating in the rally. The message read, “To ensure Uaenas [IU’s fan club] holding their light sticks in this cold weather can keep their hands warm, we’ve prepared food and hot packs. Please take care of your health and safety, and visit the designated stores to pick up the items.”
The items included 200 pieces of bread, 200 drinks, 100 rice cakes, and 200 bowls of gukbap (rice soup), all available at designated bakeries, rice cake shops, and gukbap restaurants in Yeouido. While specifically aimed at fans, anyone could receive the food by simply mentioning “Uaena” at the store. The distribution will continue from December 14 until supplies run out.
Similarly, Yuri demonstrated her thoughtfulness by preparing gimbap for fans attending the candlelight rallies. On December 13, Yuri shared a message on a fan platform, saying, “Eat the gimbap tomorrow and stay full. Stay safe and healthy. Sing Into the New World loud and proud!”
Yuri had pre-paid for gimbap at a shop near Dangsan Station, allowing fans to claim it by showing the Girls’ Generation light stick, “Sowonbong.” Earlier, on December 12, she sent fans a heartfelt message praising their dedication and urging them to stay warm during the rallies.
The rallies near the National Assembly building have seen K-pop fans actively participating, holding light sticks and playing iconic songs such as Girls’ Generation’s debut track, Into the New World, a frequent anthem at these events. Yuri’s support reflects her awareness of the fans’ efforts and the symbolic importance of the song.
