Its actually insanely amazing. The citizens were fighting with the actual military stopping them from getting into their capital building so the government could vote and stop the military takeover peaceful, while at the same exact time the military was raiding the very building they were suppose to protect. The leader of the opposition livestreamed himself breaking in climbing over a fence to avoid the military trying to stop him. Very respectable.
Yeah. Both democratic and conservative parties joined forces in order to vote against the martial law. The democratic leader himself is another dictator who is manipulating the Korean constitution to defend himself from countless accounts of federal crimes.
@Tha3rdworldghost of course. I'm sure a lot of the commanders were fearful for what's to come and briefed their soldiers to behave instead of acting aggressive. I'd like to think most of them didn't want to bring the military dictatorship back but we can only hope.
My great grandparents fought against Japanese invasion of Joseon, my grandfathers are Korean war veterans and my parents, uncles and aunties all fought against dictatorship to establish the Korean democracy we have now. Democracy and freedom is not free! You have to fight for it and protect it at all cost.
My grandpa was in South Korea during the Korean War and worked closely with the Korean military. Most of my family, including myself, are/were veterans. I completely agree with you. I just hope more people will if it happens here in the US. I was immensely impressed by the Korean people over the last few hours.

As a Korean, sharing some context: President Yoon, a former prosecutor general, leveraged his control over the prosecution in an attempt to politically eliminate the opposition party leader, who commands a two-thirds majority in Congress. However, his efforts failed, leaving him increasingly isolated, In a last-ditch attempt to retain power, he resorted to declaring martial law, This drastic measure also aimed to deflect attention from mounting corruption scandals involving himself, his family, and his inner circle, Allegations include the First Lady's bribery(luxury handbags and etc), stock manipulation, land speculation, the suppression of investigations into drug smuggling and more.
Another Key element to add : Independent Medias and journalists disclosed that First lady is behind executive decisions such as election process, and cabinet and administrational order lines.Koreans didn't vote for this lady as a leader, even Yoon's supporters votes are for Yoon, not for his wife.
This occurs when citizens understand what the total loss of their rights looks like because they have suffered through it themselves in the fairly recent past. One of the main pitfalls of Democracy is, once established, complacency can set in where those struggles of the past are quickly forgotten in a couple generations. Freedom is a tricky thing and nearly impossible to balance or even hold a real conception of unless you have had that freedom truly under threat or taken away. Congratulations to South Koreans for not forgetting their history and recognizing what an actual threat to freedom and democracy looks like. We could only be so lucky if the citizens of all democratic nations were just as aware, dedicated, and not easily swayed through tricks, deception, and lies as the South Koreans were in the last day.

As a stranger on the internet you also have zero right to question my personal experience when I didn't even state that any of what was stated was my personal experience. That being said, I have experienced a profound loss of rights before and do personally understand what it is to lose every day freedoms that I was once accustomed to. It is obvious you want to seem as if you didn't care less about it, through your comment, but even leaving a comment undercuts your claim.

Good luck to you and may your life always be so charmed that you can shrug off such topics.
I am a Korean who cannot read the book, “Human Acts,” by Nobel Prize-winning author Han Kang, because I am afraid of the pain it will portray. The deep scars of May 1980 remain in the memories of all the people, so last night’s martial law was enough to revive the terrible nightmare of that day. However, the citizens were awake, organized as comrades, and overcame fear. Our citizens protected democracy not as an armed militia, but as unarmed citizens themselves. I thank all the citizens who stood in front of the barrels of guns.
I recently read Human Acts. It is devastating, but I am glad I read it. I was thinking of it and what else I've learned about May 1980 while reading/watching today's news and am relieved that the citizens and members of parliament were able to band together and protect their democracy.
Reading Human Acts was tough even as a foreigner, I can't imagine for someone who's so close to that history... Wishing you all the best in the upcoming days, for you and your country❣️
as someone who's visited South Korea many times I salute the lovely people of that nation for taking back their democracy in the face of armed soldiers. For peeps who may not know the culture of the country you should know this is quite remarkable given Koreans are brought up to respect authority and their elders according to the Confucian ethic that has prevailed for several centuries. Kudos and love to South Korea citizens - you have demonstrated that democracies can survive dictatorial insurrections. Over to you, my friends in the USA.
Confucious said, "a monarch should be monarch-like, a subject should be subject-like, a father should be father-like, and a child should be child-like". If the monarch is not monarch-like, then the subject does not have to be subject-like because the monarch has already lost the mandate of heaven.
If you know anything about the Gwangju Massacre, that in itself was enough to compel our own people to not give up our own democracy without a fight, even against our fellow citizens serving in the armed forces and police.
Oh wow, I didn't know we ever had a dictatorship that became a president without a proper election! 0 successful coup attempts 0 military dictatorship 0 federal martial law what do we have to learn from them again?
It's a whole different culture that doesn't resort to violence as the 1st option. Whereas, we had to protest in gas masks and riot gear bc we were attacked by our own police. They immediately were authoritarian bc they don't view us as citizens. It's so anti-democracy, disturbing and troubling. I am not proud of who we are and what we've become.
@@LulaMae21 you are right 4 years of bidenomics and the highest inflation in years have proven your point. just go look at the average cost of a house or milk or bread when Trump was in office vs what the price of it is now.
Paternity leave both parents, paid holidays, paid vacation, free high school, universal healthcare, high speed rail, menstruation leave, near universal childcare and daycare . America- nothing. Just for what you charge people in internet would be illegal and fined for price gouging.
In Korea, all power of the state comes from the people. The people are the sovereign, and the president is an elected servant, serving a term defined by the will of the people. This is what is said during political protests when the government strays from the people's will. This is what just has happened in Korea again. Democracy in Korea is resilient.
Just stop. The problem wasn't turnout, it was policy. Plenty of people voted, but unfortunately, only one side had a 'set in stone' policy for which they were running. The other side simply took their voter base for granted(not granite) and ran on basically 'orange man bad.' No policy, just fluff. Get over it and buckle up, or don't get over it and actually DO SOMETHING about it, rather than crying on social media.

수많은 국민들은 직장에 출근하고,학교,공무원들은 일하고 있다. 우리 국민들은 반드시 민주주의를 지켜낼것이다!

Wow Chris your bringing it home to us. Now I wonder will this country have the balls to do it when the time comes. Nay I do t think so
I was a former special forces unit, but as a Korean, it is a shame that special forces from Unit 707 will be deployed to the Yoon administration. It is sad. Although it has been lifted now
Wow this video has summarized and explained the situation so well I appreciate you
If you never fought for it, you never earned it.
If you never earned it, its not really yours.
Respect to South Korea! Great job guys!
It was pretty peacefully done too!!!
This is a great story. Don't ever underestimate Koreans
Bravo, South Korea. We don't give up, do we? From Myanmar.
Thank you South Koreans for restoring the world's faith in both democracy and humanity!
Finally a good explanation as to what is happening in South Korea.
I see the US doing this two years from now
That's how you do it! America, take note!
Well done!!!! I have been proud to call SK home for the last 22 years.
Full democracy in democracy index😅😅😂
Great job by the people of South Korea. Great example for the people of the United States.
Literally no one in the USA is intimidated one bit by liberals.🤣
Bravi, Brave to all Koreans, who stood up to protect their right to democracy, their right, not to go back! Korea has suffered so much and has worked so hard Not to repeat a brutal past, the authoritarian string pullers of the world must be disappointed, but they are the minority
Thank you for the clear breakdown of what's happening.
"In order to defend democracy, I am disbanding democracy! In order to defend your rights, I have taken away all your rights! The chocolate ration will be INCREASED from 50g to 25g per day starting tomorrow. Long live The Republic!"
Pretty much.
Said every dictator ever.
As Koreans, we will peacefully protest for each other because the soldiers are all our children just like my son. This should never happen.
Why can't America have most of the people work to save democracy and not support a fascist dictator? I'm envious.🙁
Biden is about gone.
@rayellebishop8168 your point? Just a little reminder, your orange leader is only three years younger than Biden.
So it’s ok to January 6 if a particular side does it?
The only reason it didn't work this time, is he failed to call it 'Super Martial Law'
Thank you Chris!
We needed this!!!
Thank you, south Korean protestors..you are all heros!!! With gratitude from the US!
