      Isn’t anyone at least one percent concerned that his claim that the political machine of SK is compromised by NK. It isn’t unheard of for them to be capable of it. They literally have programs to filter North Korean spies from asylum seekers because they send spies regularly.
      I am not suggesting it is what is happening but I feel like everyone is being incredibly self assured that he is just insane. Probably but, I just know that sort of hubris of confidence and certainty can lead to mistakes and I am concerned about SK because China going after Taiwan means that they have every incentive to politically disturb them and same with Russia taking conscripts from NK. SK is definitely on the geopolitical radar of other powers. It’s concerning that nobody is even curious to hear what his evidence was for doing this. I support opposition to the martial law especially given how he did that and everything afterwards. Just feel like people are styling on this guy when it’s not impossible he knows something, I haven’t heard a single person even ask about it out loud. Just because someone does something totally crazy doesn’t means they don’t know anything legitimate in terms of rationale or reasoning their behavior.
      I just really want to know verifiably that SK is not about to end up with a communist government.

But then people went out into the streets, march into the government's house and force him to flee in helicopter, also resigning hours later.

    One more important thing should be noted, the military itself was very calm and well composed, never attempted to fire at the citizens. Just shows what side the military is on.
    The military leader, president Yoon, etc is from the same high school, which probably was motivated by Yoon’s planning to declare martial law. One thing he miscalculated is that members of the military etc were defiant to their leadership, for example they were ordered to fire if necessary and have real bullets, but many soldiers didn’t fire and they didn’t hold real bullets. So there’s that.
    Also Yoon is possibly cooking up a second martial law, possibly with all of the military in his control, or by declaring war to North Korea. Scary af, but I hope we impeach him before all this happens lol

      Yess the military was in fact very calm to the citizens which the Koreans were well aware of. Although in this video they are portrayed as pretty aggressive, in reality, they were just Koreans who also deeply cared for their country. They knew this was not right. Also, from interviews, it was reported that the members of the military didn’t know what they were called for. They thought this duty would be related to North Korea, only to find out they are actually participating as the coup for martial law.
      The truth is, they were also clueless of the current situation since they said they did not expect themselves to be landing at the National Assembly building. Despite the confusion, they obviously had no choice other than to follow orders since yk, the martial law had activated. But, as mentioned in the comment above, they weren’t hostile to citizens nor did they attempt to, which is honestly understandable. Anyways, Koreans were very warm to the military after the martial law was released since they knew the military had no fault in this.
      As a Korean I just don’t like how the military is being portrayed as villains in the media rn since they are not at all, just poor people who were suddenly called out of sleep for a mission that turned out to be the worst they could imagine.

      Yoon can't declare war with North Korea because they're already at war with North Korea. He could have violated the cease fire tho.

He doesn't have control of the military and you can tell because they didn't get aggressive and use force to prevent the vote which they could have easily done.

    2. A picture of a parliament member in his 80s lying back on his chair tired after going up the fence went viral
    3. All of the votes of the 190 memebers who showed up was unanimously to shut the emergency martial law
    4. The military did have real bullets
    5. Some people say that Yoon saw a movie called '서울의 봄 (12.12: The Day)' which is about the coup, and got inspired. (Which is a joke but is still funny) (Recently an actor of the film had impregnated a model and that news baffled everyone because it was so different from his usual image)
    6. A LOT of Korean Universities and Professors are declaring officially against Yoon because what he has done in his tenure.
    7. People are meeting in Gwanghwamun to participate in the candle protest against Yoon, just like we have done with Park Geunhye. (Changed to Yeouido)
    8. The video of Yoon saying he will stop the martial law was pre-recorded, which means he probably did know it wouldn't work out but did it anyway. People say he thinks being president is a game and pressing all the buttons just because he can.
    9. Yoon changed the location of residence from Chungwadae to Yongsan just because he wanted to... And probably used up all of the taxes...
    10. Russia 'feels sorry' for Korea and Israel declared Korea as an unsafe place for travel.
    11. We didn't even get a warning message. We always get warning messages about public transport accidents, natural disasters, and even missing old & disabled people but not this????
    12. The president of Kyrgyzstan was in Korea while this happened.

    Fun fact(not so fun fact as a Korean myself)
    Fact 1: Yoon is a former Prosecutor General(similar to the Attorney General in America, but only does Prosecutor things) in Korea. He placed many former prosecutors who were close to him in various key positions in the administration, regardless of their expertise. So Koreans often sarcastically refer to their country as the ‘Republic of Prosecutors’.
    Fact 2: The soldiers mobilized for this martial law are the 707 Special Forces and the 1st Airborne Division (1 gong-su, 1 공수).
    The 707 is a special force deployed when there is a counterterrorism mission. Several celebrities from the unit were popular as RUclipsrs and TV appearances. However, due to this martial law mobilization, the perception of the unit has fallen to the bottom.
    In the case of the 1st Airborne Division, ironically, it is the same unit that was mobilized for the military coup that occurred 40 years ago. They have more experience in Coup than an actual fucking war.
    Fact 3: In the vote held at the National Assembly to nullify martial law, only a few(18 people) member of the ruling party (국민의 힘) participated. Most of them simply expressed their opinion, “We are against martial law,” at the party headquarters located one block away from the National Assembly, and watched the situation unfold. Most of the people who climbed over the National Assembly wall to take their seats were members of the opposition party.

The reason why Koreans are so alert about these situations is that we've gone through martial law alot and throught history, we were always oppressed of our freedom and rights every time a similar thing happened.

    As South Korean. I would like to explain some stuff about Yoon and what happened.
    -190 were able to make it into the parliament and 190 agreed to remove martial law. 17 of them were in Yoon's party. the rest of the Yoon's party went to their "base".
    -Last time martial law was declared it was 1979, called 10.26 incident when Park Chung Hee died.
    -Yoon was accused of watching too much far-right youtube channels because it was distorting his views.
    -the Right always calls the Left "NK spies" and the Left calls the Right "Japanese warcrime supporters". So if you see what Yoon says he talks about protecting the country against the North.
    -Yoon's party's name 국민의힘 is accused of coping far right party of Japan "國民の力" also 국민의힘 is grammatically incorrect, kindergarten level grammar, it is 국민의 힘. which did raise some eyebrows.
    -Lee Jae-Myung ( the live streaming guy) in the opposite party isn't really better either. There are things like people around him having unfortunate accidents and stuff.
    -Word is that the military was apologizing as they were pulling out. They didn't like what they were doing either. Also, since all able men go to the military, the military force that was there kinda looked like how a drill sergeant looks at a new trainee. (People are feeling sorry for those guys).
    -Word is that the Police were confused af.
    -Another word is someone in Yoon's party said in something like "the enemy force was too great". meaning they saw the citizens as enemy.

      As an American living in Seoul, I thank you for this info, but most of us non-Koreans won't understand a lot of it. I just need to state something that a lot of Americans won't get: There is often corruption on both sides, and that doesn't matter what country it is. Many Americans/Westerners are highly radicalized and have no common sense or logic, so try to villainize entire parties because of their distorted worldviews. Meaning, Yoon being right-leaning, there'll be lots of very low IQ comparisons to Trump, even though Korea's last two leaders before Yoon were left-leaning and also highly unpopular (with Jae-in Moon being a NK and communist China sympathizer) and one of them even got life in prison for her corruption (although Geun-hye Park wasn't technically a Democrat; just liberal.)
      In short: People need to stop trying to make this a "left vs right" issue; political corruption is common everywhere.

    Most of those soldiers who were dispatched were probably conscripted as well, and were very much aware of what they were doing. It's not like they were his personal body guards. They are not some brainwashed ponds, but fellow koreans from 21st century, just doing their duties in uniforms. I think they well deserve respect for keeping things calm, safe, restricted, and behaving in such a well disciplined manner where no one were killed nor hurt during this mayhem. It is also amazing how both parties (army and protesters) understood each other's situations, and tried to deescalate the tensions. It is pure miracle how no one were hurt last night. In some of the videos one of the soldier even apologizes to those citizens.

They expected blood..! This wasn't planned to be peaceful, we were really lucky that the situation was handled fast that it was... but stop claiming the soliders didn't know what they were doing and are innocent, they knew exactly what they were doing and are as guilty as the president, stop framing them this way

    A few fun facts behind this turmoil :
    1. One of the congressmen who voted against the martial law, Park Ji-won, has actually experienced 17 INSTANCES of emergency/security martial law throughout his whole life.
    Did I mention that he is 82 years old today? Or did I mention that he also got through the police barricade? Or did I forgot to mention he was once a head of a national intelligence agency? And did I mention he has a motherfXXkin glass eye? DID I ALSO MENTION HE WAS HALF DRUNK THAT DAY?
    2. The woman who grappled with soldier was not an ordinary person. She was also one of the spokesperson of the opposition coalition, Ahn Gwi-ryong.
    3. About 140 years ago, on the same day with the coup attempt - A band of radical progressive political faction (개화파) also attemped a coup against the old regime - aiming for a Meiji Restoration-ish reforms.
    They only lasted 3 days.
    Well, at least they lasted more than this.
    4. Ah, yes. The barricade.
    Due to South Korea's rather turbulent political backgrounds and oppressive military juntas, quite a lot of politicians and their aides have some experience in "street warfare." i.e. barricading againsy police line, making makeshift tear-gas masks, and everyones favorite - the Molotovs.
    While these were somewhat necessary skills in protests against the regime, it turned the lawmaking business rather bloody and seige warfare-like when they got the badges. Those practices were outlawed in 2012.
    But apparently- they still got it. I guess old habits die hard.

    She did it solely for the purpose of gaining her political supporters, and she took a rather drastic measure, because before the event her political standing was on the near verge of ending (she'd been really messing up on her career).
    A lot of Koreans actually blame her as the person who almost escalated the event to the point of no return, because by Korean military law (I'm sure it's the same everywhere), when another person tries to take away your gun from your possession, you have all the rights to "attack" him/her. The soldier's decision to actually hold back literally prevented the whole martial law event from escalating to the next level.
    Yet, the soldier is getting all the hates by certain groups of Korean people just so that the female politician can regain her popularity - which is media control at the finest if anything.]

      They do say that highly intelligent people are more likely to be night owls, he might have had better chances at the crack of dawn when they're all going to sleep....

      He might have been more successful if he had waited a couple more hours. Many people are still awake at 11, even kids are often still up at that time. 1am and public transportation has ended for the night and the majority of people would be asleep. Good thing he isn't that smart...
