"The Fabricated Rebellion": Former 707th Commander Breaks Silence on Political Coaxing and the Dec 3 Martial Law Truth
Colonel Kim Hyun-tae, the former commander of the elite 707th Special Missions Group, has come forward with explosive allegations regarding the December 3rd martial law incident, claiming the narrative of an "insurrection" was systematically fabricated through the political coaxing of military leaders by the opposition party. In a recent interview, Kim detailed how the actions of the special forces were tactically misinterpreted by legacy media and how his superior, General Kwak Jong-geun, was allegedly "gaslit" into providing false testimony against President Yoon Suk-yeol.
Tactical Reality vs. "Insurrection" Narrative
Colonel Kim, a 30-year veteran of the Republic of Korea Army, clarified that the 707th's deployment to the National Assembly was a response to a legitimate order from the Commander-in-Chief and was focused on securing the interior of the building, not harming civilians or lawmakers. He refuted claims that breaking windows was an act of rebellion, explaining it as a necessary tactical entry after finding all doors locked.
Kim also highlighted the "media blackout" regarding the physical and verbal abuse suffered by soldiers at the hands of protesters, some of whom he identified as organized activists from the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU). "Our soldiers were the victims of coordinated assaults, yet they maintained extreme restraint to protect the nation's constitutional order," Kim stated.
Allegations of Political Coaxing and "Our Law Society" Influence
The most striking portion of Kim's testimony involves the alleged manipulation of General Kwak Jong-geun. Kim argues that the claim of President Yoon ordering the "extraction of lawmakers" was a narrative injected by Democratic Party (DP) figures like Kim Byung-joo and Park Sun-won during private "coaxing" sessions.
Kim provided a detailed timeline suggesting that the legal defense for General Kwak was orchestrated by a "control tower" consisting of figures from the influential "Our Law Society" (Woori-beop-yeon-gu-hoe), including Park Beom-kye and Min Joong-gi. He alleged that Kwak was pressured into a "fake conscience declaration" to link the President to illegal orders in exchange for legal protection and potential immunity. "The timeline of Kwak's phone calls and his subsequent testimony simply does not match the technical records," Kim noted, citing discrepancies in communication logs.
A Broader Movement for "Constitutional Resistance"
Colonel Kim's emergence coincides with the national release of the documentary "Fabricated Rebellion," produced by Director Lee Young-don and promoted by activist Jeon Han-gil. Kim has pledged to join forces with Jeon's "Righteous Volunteers" movement to restore what they term the "Constitutional Soul" of South Korea.
This movement links the martial law controversy to broader concerns about election integrity and "leftist-engineered" conspiracies, which have also drawn international attention. Activists argue that the judicial pressure on military officers is part of a "maximum pressure" campaign that mirrors the U.S. strategy of isolating pro-China or "unreliable" political elements in Northeast Asia.
The Road to the February 19th Verdict
As the crucial February 19th court verdict approaches-a date seen by activists as the "fate of the Republic"-Colonel Kim is urging other military officers to break their silence. He has opened an email channel to receive whistleblowing reports from within the military, promising to be a "speaker for the truth" against what he describes as illegal political interference in military affairs.
"Justice should flow like waters," Kim remarked, echoing biblical themes often cited by his fellow activists, "and we will not allow our military to be dismantled by fabricated narratives".
