  • Actress Jeon Won-ju was seen attending a rally organized by a conservative group.
  • The rally was led by Korean history instructor and YouTuber Jeon Han-gil, known for his strong conservative stance.
  • This appearance follows her previous attendance at a rally supporting the Democratic Party.

Veteran actress Jeon Won-ju has recently drawn attention for her appearance at a rally organized by a staunchly conservative group. The event, held in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, was hosted by Jeon Han-gil, a Korean history instructor and YouTuber known for his strong conservative affiliations and leadership of the Hanmi Alliance group.

Video footage shared online shows Jeon Won-ju among the attendees, listening intently to speeches. She was seen nodding in agreement during a presentation by Moss Tan, a former professor at Liberty University and former U.S. State Department official for international criminal justice during the Trump administration.

During the rally, the event's host, actor Choi Jun-yong, acknowledged Jeon's presence, asking her to stand and prompting applause from the audience. This public appearance marks a notable shift, as Jeon had previously attended a rally in May supporting the Democratic Party, specifically during a campaign event for then-leader Jeong Cheong-rae in Gongju.

The actress's participation in politically charged events, spanning different ideological spectrums, has sparked considerable discussion among the public and media.

Teacher Jeon Won-ju, sitting with our patriotic youths, please stand up for a moment.
