The biggest problem with the situation is that as the protests continue, the constitutional values of public safety and freedom of the press are being seriously damaged. On the 5th, an incident where a JTBC reporter covering the vote counting scene was surrounded by protesters, assaulted, and had his cell phone damaged suggests that these protests have gone beyond the scope of peaceful expression of opinion. The police have identified the suspects by securing video and other evidence and have begun an investigation, but physical violence against the media is a serious threat that paralyzes the sound surveillance function of our society. The police authorities took this incident seriously and announced a speedy investigation, but the occupation continues at the site as if making a mockery of law and order, raising doubts about the limits of public power.

The aftermath of the protests is not just a political battle, but is also destroying daily life in the sports world. The national fencing team had to compete in the Asian Championships to be held in India starting on the 18th, but they faced the absurd situation of not being able to bring their own swords and equipment due to the offices within the stadium being sealed off. In the end, the players hurriedly borrowed other players' equipment and left the country, causing a fatal setback ahead of the international competition. Not only has the work function of the Korean Sports Council officials been paralyzed, but the right to training of athletes representing the country has also been infringed. As a result, some are raising strong voices of criticism as to whether the justification for guaranteeing suffrage is really justifiable enough to trample on the rights of others to survive and have a job.

The mediation efforts of the government and politicians to resolve the situation are also helplessly collapsing in the face of the hard-line atmosphere on the ground. On the 16th, it seemed like an agreement had been reached for sports organization officials to enter the office following the mediation plan of People Power Party representative Jang Dong-hyuk, but all plans came to nothing due to the opposition of just one protester at the site. Due to the nature of spontaneous protests without an organizer, there is no leader to control the scene, and chaos is repeated as extreme resistance from individuals overturns the overall consensus. This clearly proves how powerless political efforts to mediate conflicts through democratic procedures are in the face of mass madness and disorder.

In a statement to the public under the name of the Minister of Public Administration and Security, the government warned that it would guarantee legal assemblies, but would hold accountable until the end for acts that destroy law and order, such as occupying facilities and inspecting private properties. In particular, they clearly stated that spreading false information and unauthorized occupation of public facilities are serious crimes under the pretext of suffrage, and that they will take a hard-line response. However, at the site, protesters wearing American flags are still fighting against public power by blocking the entrance and exit doors with duct tape, and police warning broadcasts are useless. The situation is now sinking into a complex swamp of legal battles and social conflicts, with civic groups filing complaints over Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Park Jeongbo's 'disgraceful' remarks.
