Given that the parliament opposed the declaration, I was not surprised to see this when I was catching up on news this morning at breakfast. Apparently, he and parliament haven't been getting along well in general due to parliament being controlled by the opposition. Rather like the US when Congress is controlled by a different party than the White House.
Leaders and parliaments are often in conflict ... especially if there is a democratic urge against empires led by heavy tyrants dressed with red mercury ..
That's cinnabar ... and tempting you to attempt to collect what is not possessable ... so on to synchroneities activity ... elite illegitimacies? Those desiring will over look the seamy and sordid ... and so it multiplies faster than wisdom ... prickle Lai' stuff ... some say Le Urchin the flow ... irregularity?
Makes for an ode myth ... really far out ... cause touch of thought was loosened ... may be ein scribed in encrypted form to amuse the mystery ... that being the part that' incomplete .. or even incarnate as the carnal falls ... the foul of the Dei? Ch'que ... one Aye mist ... bad boid ...

A new poll finds that 70% of Koreans want President Yoon impeached 7 in 10 Koreans want Yoon Suk Yeol impeached: survey
Not surprisingly, the ruling party isn't in favor of impeachment

It gets more and more interesting. The president has now apologized.
Imagine the dissonances spreading around the world because of the query into Trump's pious behavior patterns ...
It is not good to question powers of the physical sort ... just observe for later debriefing ... illuminating? Dahin Finite is yet unclear ... clouded ...

The latest is that the opposition failed to impeach President Yoon. Although they are, of course, still saying that they will soon enough bring him down
And so they've impeached President Yoon. Elections may be just around the corner The New York Times (@nytimes) on Threads
And... so they've arrested the President.
"Impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested after a Seoul court issued a warrant over his failed martial law bid. The court cited risks of evidence destruction, leading to Yoon's detention for up to 20 days. The Corruption Investigation Office plans to transfer custody to the prosecution for further investigation and indictment. Yoon's supporters clashed with police, while critics celebrated the warrant. The Constitutional Court is deliberating Yoon's reinstatement or removal from office."

In this video (Jun 29, 2023) after the South Korean government had intensified its efforts to crack down on those who are staying or working illegally, Korean locals were interviewed on what they thought about the increasing number of undocumented foreigners and this crackdown on illegal immigrants.

@Jae I thought this comment following the video summed it up nicely. Given your real life day to day experience interacting with young Koreans - would you agree?

"Stop the Steal":- Sound familiar?
How 'bout baseball caps that say "MKGA"
"Amidst the political turmoil surrounding suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol, his supporters have shown their unity by purchasing pro-Yoon books and merchandise in large numbers. Books like "Stop the Steal" and others related to Yoon have topped South Korea’s bestseller lists. Supporters have been promoting these purchases on social media, often buying multiple copies and encouraging others to do the same.
The book "Stop the Steal" centers on a lawsuit contesting the 2020 general election results, although the case was dismissed by Korea's Supreme Court in 2022 due to lack of evidence. Pro-Yoon merchandise, including hats, mugs, and gloves with slogans like "Make Korea Great Again" and "Eradicate communism," has also become popular, especially at political rallies.
This phenomenon of political fan communities influencing book sales and other purchases is not new in South Korea, having been seen with previous political figures as well." - Copilot summarized from The Korea Herald.
I may try to get myself one of the hats. Not because I'm a super-ardent supporter of Yoon's, more as just historical memorabilia

"The article discusses U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on Korean steel imports starting March 12, effectively nullifying a previously agreed tariff-free quota. The move is part of a broader policy to impose tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports to protect American industries.
The Korean government, taken by surprise, plans to negotiate with the U.S. and collaborate with Japan and the European Union to mitigate the impact. Meanwhile, Trump's stance of potentially exempting Australia, a trade deficit country, adds a twist to the trade dynamics. Korean companies may be urged to increase their investments in the U.S. to avoid tariffs.
Simultaneously, Canada, affected by similar U.S. tariffs, hosted a forum to strengthen economic ties with Korea, emphasizing cooperation in the energy sector despite the looming trade tensions. Canadian officials highlighted the importance of their Indo-Pacific strategy and strong relationship with Korea." - summarized from The Korea Times using Copilot.
So now we here in Korea must do what we Canadians have done well at recently - stop buying American goods. Thankfully, I think that's easier for us to do here. So much stuff is made in Korea, and Korea has so many of its own stores, restaurants and cafés
