A Statement to the People of the Republic of Korea

Korean Retired Generals Defending the Nation

Seoul, South Korea
January 30, 2019

We at the “Korean Retired Generals Defending the Nation (KRGDN)”
briefed the citizens of this nation on the severity of security situation of the
Republic of Korea (ROK) by issuing a statement after hosting the “Grand
Forum on the 9·19 Inter-Korean Military Agreement” at the war memorial,
Seoul, on November 21, 2018. Also, we sent 20 public questions to the
government in the name of “415 retired generals concerned about the
national security.” The Moon Jae-in administration, however, has remained
silent. We believe the Moon administration have refused to answer our
questions because either they have no confidence in convincing the public
of the legitimacy of the Agreement or they completely ignore the demand
made by the retired generals. We at KRGDN can no longer turn a blind eye
to the current gloomy situation that may lead to not only a collapse of
security but a demise of the nation. Therefore, we plea for your support as
follows:

First, this nation was built and has been developed by desperate
dedication of patriotic citizens for the past 70 years. Nonetheless, the Moon
administration has been denying the legitimacy of its own nation and
bringing down liberal democracy under the cloak of “inter-Korean
collaboration” initiated by the unreliable Pyongyang regime. We shall no
longer sit idly by so that the Moon administration and Pyongyang can
determine the fate of this country. Now is time for the citizens to come
together under the flag of “defending free democracy and opposing
communism” and to bring the Moon administration’s anti-constitutional
activities to a halt. If President Moon and his administration continue to
disregard the citizen’s warning, the people of the nation will have to bring
them to justice by employing all rights and means laid out in the
Constitution.
Second, “the peace on the Korean Peninsula” that the Moon
administration and the Kim regime in the North are jointly shouting does
not mean genuine peace. Rather, it is “fake peace” designed to communize
the whole peninsula. It is nothing more than a deceiving propaganda tactic

to disrupt, incapacitate and disable ROK’s security capability, withdraw the
U.S. forces in South Korea (USFK) and communize the country. All
hardworking ROK citizens including entrepreneurs, merchants, engineers
and farmers must recognize dire consequences the entire nation will face
after communization. We will lose everything we have, and this land will
turn into a killing field. This being the reality, the self-styled ‘right-wing’
opposition parties still going on divisive factional strife even on the brink
of the nation’s collapse must decide whether they will voluntarily dissolve
or throw away their easy-going behavior and unite in solidarity to put an
end to the pro-North Korean leftist government. The ROK people must
stand up together and squash the fake peace plot. United we stand, divided
we fall.

Third, “the 9·19 Inter-Korean Military Agreement” that unilaterally
inflicts harms to ROK’s security readiness and capability while Pyongyang
has shown no interest in denuclearization only benefits the enemy. We must
abrogate the agreement to protect the country. The ROK people must fight
vigorously to scrap the Agreement.
Fourth, the ROK-U.S. alliance has provided this nation with security
shield and economic stability, thus ensuring the its survival and prosperity.
People’s power must safeguard this alliance, if the government refuses to
do so, until the Peninsula is unified on the principles of liberal democracy
and permanent peace takes root. Therefore, we should spend money
preferentially for the ROK-U.S. alliance rather than for the North Korean
regime since our help to the untrustworthy regime can any time boomerang
on us as lethal weapons. If the Moon administration refuses necessary
defense burden-sharing to support the USFK while profusely spending
money for the regime in Pyongyang, the citizens will have to step in and
launch a nation-wide fund-raising campaign to support the U.S. soldiers in
this land.

Fifth, the Moon administration is suppressing conservative NGOs and
civic groups dedicated to defense of ROK and oppressing patriotic
conservatives and shacking the press, thus destroying humanity and liberal
democracy in this nation. Now all citizens must stand up to the Moon
administration’s tyrannical and unfair politics to protect the democracy.
Six, the Moon administration must stop the reverse navigation in its
economic policy by discarding the anti-market populist policies. The moon
administration, responsible for the current economic unrest, should strive
for better quality of life of its own people rather than for the tyrannical
regime in Pyongyang. Also, it should not let the Pyongyang regime twist
arms of South Korean entrepreneurs to bribe itself. The ROK people will
no longer tolerate the flattering diplomacy toward the North.

PART 2

A Statement to the ROK Armed Forces

Korean Retired Generals Defending the Nation

Seoul, South Korea
January 30, 2019

We at the “Korean Retired Generals Defending the Nation (KRGDN)”
can no longer turn a blind eye to the collapsing national security. Therefore,
we with all our heart request to our dearly beloved service men and women
as follows:

First, all active-duty service men and women in the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Marine Corps, you must decide whether you will give up on the
people, territory and sovereignty of this nation by being misled by the
sugar-coated “fake peace” and “inter-Korean collaboration” rhetoric or
safeguard them by performing your sacred military duty specified in Article
5 of the Constitution. You should not join or connive at any anti-national
activities that undermine the nation’s security capability fostered by your
proud predecessors. Soldiers are not just nine-to-fivers, but the bulwark of
the national security ready to dedicate lives to defend the country. You
should sternly reject anti-patriotic demand of the politicians attempting to
sell out this nation to enemy. Soldiers, do your best to defend the nation
and the people you belong to!

Second, the Moon administration signed “the 9·19 Inter-Korean Military
Agreement” that unilaterally neutralize ROK’s security capability though
Pyongyang has not shown any substantial progress towards
denuclearization. The regime in the North is notorious for numerous
military provocations including the tragic Korean war in 1950, and it now
is recognized by the United Nations as the worst criminal ring against the
humanity. Signing such an enemy-benefiting agreement is not only a
violation of the Constitutional but a de facto declaration of the national
suicide. As a result, countless wartime defense facilities built by blood and
sweat for the past 70 years have been destroyed; early-warning capabilities

have been blunted; combat units have been rapidly dismantled; anti-
communist and counter-espionage intelligence functions have been

crippled; military morale has been dampened and discipline is crumbling.
Defense Minister, Chiefs of Staff and Marine Corps Commander, do decide
by the end of February 2019 to discard the “9·19 Inter-Korean Military

Agreement,” order the entire military to follow the decision, and promptly
restore the nation’s disrupted security capability! Do not accommodate
anti-constitutional instructions hurting the nation’s security!
Third, all service men and women on active duty should not be enticed
by the North’s “juche” ideology advocating the three-generation hereditary
dictatorship and aiming at communizing the entire Peninsula. If necessary,
please look back to the cases of communized countries to predict the fate of
the ROK people and military after communization. Keep in mind that the
North Korean military is unmistakably your main adversary until we
achieve reunification based on the free democracy orders clearly stated in
Article 4 of the Constitution!

Fourth, the ROK-U.S. combined defense system, built by insights and
wisdom of the alliance guardians of both countries, has proven to be the
best system to safeguard this nation. Nevertheless, the Moon administration
is disrupting this system by seducing the public with honeyed words like
“security sovereignty” and by trying to separate prematurely the wartime
operational control (OPCON). Currently, the Moon administration is
delaying an early conclusion of the ROK-U.S. defense burden-sharing
(SMA) negotiation, thereby ignoring the possibility of USFK withdrawal
and further deterioration of the alliance credibility. Soldiers should not
forget that liquidation of the alliance and the combined defense system has
been the North’s 70-year old desideratum. Soldiers, remember that
protecting the combined defense system is the way to protect your nation
and your families. Defend it desperately!

Fifth, we will not accept as beloved members of military community
those soldiers who sell out military honor to keep their positions. Former
Defense Minister Song Young-moo who signed the enemy-benefiting “9·19
Inter-Korean Military Agreement” must publicly apologize if he wants to
show even a tinge of remorse for dishonoring his predecessors and
colleagues. Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo, who demands faithful
implementation the Agreement and presses for preparation for an early
OPCON transfer at every military commanders’ meeting to flatter political
authority, must immediately resign and apologize to the public and the
military community. Lastly, our beloved active-duty brothers and sisters, do
not participate any longer in the act of treason and follow only the order
given by the Constitution!
Hail, Free ROK! Hail, the ROK People! Hail, the ROK Armed Forces!
