In the video that appears to have been taken by Poet Song himself, Poet Song continued a hunger strike in the secretary’s office of the Speaker of the National Assembly until around 11 pm on the 5th after an interview with Parliament Speaker Park Byung-seok. Then, a person who seemed to be a police officer in the National Assembly said, “I will take you out courteously because it’s time to leave at 11 pm,” and then began to pick up Poet Song, who refused to do so.
Poet Song responded strongly, saying, “I asked you to wait in the office of the secretary’s office, so I waited, and it wasn’t at any other time that the Moon Jae-in administration activated the security rights to drive out (me).” “Is this a world where labor rights are respected?”
Then, the police officers of the National Assembly lifted Poet Song outside the office of the National Assembly and said, “I will take you by an ambulance.” Poet Song exclaimed, “Where are you sending (me) against my will?”
Poet Song’s acquaintance, photographer Noh Sun-taek, said on Facebook on the morning of the 6th, “The poet Song Gyeong-dong, who fainted after being pulled out by the legislative bodyguards on the morning of the 6th, was evacuated to the hospital.” He has not stopped fasting. Now it is the 47th day (fasting),” he said. He added, “I am really worried about what will happen. The medical staff are also worried about hypoglycemic shock.”

From this time on, Kim Jin-sook immediate negotiations with salt and enzymes, which were the minimum lifeline until immediate reinstatement. “I will quit persimmon tea,” he said, “I starved 46 days in front of the Blue House, but there was no answer. The management still laughs at Kim Jin-suk and the society and mocked it.” Then he demanded, “I hope the National Assembly will not give up its last hope that it will be different.”
However, within a few hours after posting this article, the National Assembly pulled the poet Song out.
