He made a fool of himself. If his approval ratings were bad before now they are nonexistent. When your own party turns against you, you got to realise that something is wrong. To me is clear that he wanted to cling to power after him and his family have recently been involved in some scandals… Lucky i didn’t turn out into nothing too serious. If the MPs wouldn’t have acted as quick to enter the parliament and vote to lift the martial law, I am not sure what would have happened… Imagine having to climb walls etc to enter the building because the police and the military are blocking the entry.

Way to go South Korea, and to the military forces around the world DO NOT obey blindly illegally issued orders. Do NOT break the law yourselves, as the army of your state you must obey the oath you took not a dictator wannabee, or act against any political forces. If situation calls for, be the force that stabilizes the country and allows the courts /political system AND the population try to fix the situation peacefully.

It’s exactly what it sounds like, political party within the South Korean government that are pro North..meaning they lobby for causes that benefit the north instead of the south, like giving them South’s money, and sending large food or whatever “aid” to the north which sounds nice because ud think humanitarian aid to feed the starving but in practice it feeds northern military or is resold on to fund Kim’s regime/lifestyle. The pro north party also reduced/closed south’s military defense posts/personnel near the northern border, and even ceded part of southern territory, which is absolutely insane. Anyways even without all that, from looking at the presidential records in kr, I’d not fault this one for being paranoid
