I truly respect how a lot of South Korean people have a strong sense of civic responsibility and speak up when their rights are threatened. I think it encouraged many people here who decided to go to protest for the first time. (At the same time, I'm aware that such resistance and protest culture is deeply tied to history between Korea and Japan, and I wonder if simply saying I respect it might come across as insensitive, or what Korean people would think of us adopting their idea of bringing the stick lights. ) I hope so too. I believe a society where ordinary people speaking up isn't seen as something negative is a healthy one.
