In a stunning display of international solidarity, thousands of South Koreans have taken to the streets chanting, “We are Charlie Kirk!” — a powerful declaration that underscores the global impact of the conservative firebrand’s message. Kirk's assassination has resulted in an eruption into a worldwide movement, as people across the globe are waking up to the dangerous creep of radical leftism and the silencing of dissenting voices.
The rallies in South Korea follow the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Rather than fading into fear or retreat, Kirk's message has ignited something deeper — a cultural and spiritual reawakening that’s resonating far beyond American borders.
Footage from Seoul shows crowds of people, many young and visibly energized, waving American and South Korean flags, holding signs with Kirk’s image, and chanting his name in defiance of the forces that seek to shut down truth through violence and censorship. The message is clear: the values Kirk stood for — free speech, individual liberty, faith, and national pride — are not just American ideals; they are human ideals.

South Koreans, no strangers to the threat of authoritarianism from their northern neighbor, recognize the importance of preserving liberty. Many see in Kirk a modern-day Paul Revere, warning the world of the totalitarian impulse now spreading through progressive movements that demand submission to identity politics, state control, and moral relativism.
