In the afternoon of the 30th, Miseon Sung, co-chair of the Green Party, is transferred to the Green Hospital in front of the Blue House due to rapid health deterioration. Provided by the Rememberer Hope Bus Planning Team-Hanjin Heavy Industries Co-operation Committee Chairman Seong Mi-seon, who had been fasting in front of the Blue House for 40 days, was urgently transferred to the hospital due to a sudden health deterioration, urging the reinstatement of the leader Kim Jin-sook of the Busan Headquarters of the National Federation of Democratic Trade Unions (CTU), a dismissed worker of Hanjin Heavy Industries.
According to the’Remember Hope Bus Planning Group’ (planning group), Chairman Sung was transported to the Green Hospital by 119 ambulances according to the medical staff diagnosis of’emergency’ at 4 pm on the 30th. Chairman Seong was found to have been in a state of lack of energy in his whole body due to a sharp drop in blood sugar and blood pressure over the past week. When he was evacuated, his electrolyte levels were also abnormal, and he reportedly had symptoms of malnutrition and exhaustion.
He persuaded him to stop fasting around seeing Chairman Sung, who suffers from dizziness and struggles with even drinking water and salt, but Chairman Sung said,’I am not the person who should be sent to the hospital, but the body that has undergone cancer surgery refuses chemotherapy. It was found that he had adhered to the fasting, saying,’Leader Kim on a walking march.’
However, as Chairman Sung couldn’t get up from his seat from the day before, it was found that the medical staff made an opinion that “It can be serious to go on fasting anymore.”
The planning team said, “In the meantime, fasters have been fasting in extreme conditions without a tent to cover the snow, rain, and wind even in the cold of 20 degrees below zero, and it has been a long time since their health has reached a dangerous level.” Fasters such as the senior vice-president of the Korea Metals Union’s Busan Yangsan and Kim Woo’s rights-seeking union activist are facing dangerous moments because they are not bending their will.”
“The Moon Jae-in administration is leaving the leader Kim and the Blue House homeless hunger on the road who need treatment at the hospital. Our request is simple.” “Chun Doo-hwan’s military dictatorship collides with the Korea Shipbuilding Corporation (now Hanjin Heavy Industries). He stressed that the Republic of Korea government apologizes for the wrongdoing of unfairly dismissing the leader Kim, and to reinstate him.”
Meanwhile, the planning team is scheduled to depart from Seoul Station and head for the Blue House with ‘500 candles’ from 5 pm to 7 pm on the same day. They plan to hold an event in compliance with the quarantine rules, such as one participant holding a candle and holding a’one-person demonstration’ at 50m intervals.
They are holding a picket that directly writes out what they want the government to do, such as a call for Kim’s reinstatement, and they plan to write a postcard to President Moon Jae-in and deliver it to the Blue House.
The planning team said, “Five years ago, we held candles to bring down the unrighteous regime from Seoul Station to Gwanghwamun. Even though five years have passed, workers who have been unfairly fired are not reinstated,” and “to build up a society where people are first.” He said, “I will hold a candle again for me. I will follow the quarantine rules and deliver a desperate wind.”
