Conservative activist Charlie Kirk delivered remarks in Seoul, South Korea, this week predicting a Donald Trump victory in teh upcoming U.S. presidential election and urging Japan to resist what he termed “globalism.” The event,part of a larger gathering aimed at attracting young South Koreans to Christianity,also featured a controversial appeal for increased birth rates.
Kirk’s appearance in South korea, a key U.S. ally, underscores the growing reach of American conservative figures seeking to influence international audiences. The gathering, which included a worship concert and a session on Christian leadership, drew attention for a video message from Everylife, a diaper company promoting a ”pro-life mission” and encouraging South koreans to “make more babies” amid the nation’s declining birth rate. Kirk’s comments on Japan, specifically calling on the country to oppose “globalism,” reflect a broader trend of conservative messaging targeting East Asian nations.
According to reports,Kirk expressed confidence in a Trump win during his speech,framing the election as a pivotal moment for the United States and the world. He also directly addressed japan, urging the nation to actively fight against perceived globalist influences. The event’s focus on encouraging higher birth rates in South Korea, coupled with Everylife’s message, highlights concerns about the country’s demographic challenges and the involvement of foreign entities in addressing them.
