I have not slept just to make this video about a dude fumbling a dictatorship. Btw the National Assembly members are already filing a motion for impeachment... Just put the fries in the bag mr. President
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.
It's also worth mentioning that the man who jumped the fence (Lee Jae-myung) is not only 60 years old and doing insane parkour stunts but he was also STABBED in the neck in January this year from an assassination attempt, and yet he still was throwing his body over that fence. Literal video game protagonist come to life
One of the funniest kdrama elements about this is that MANY of the Democratic Party legislators who showed up to vote were.... DRUNK ON SOJU hahaha. I am Korean and if you watch live interviews from that night, many lawmakers are visibly red-eyed and slurring their words. That's right: A bunch of pissed-off, drunk Korean politicians left bars and restaurants on a Tuesday and stormed the National Assembly building to stop a dictator. And succeeded.
As a Peruvian, I can relate. Found out about Pedro Castillo self coup d'etat during class and he got arrested when I was in the bus going home. I LOLed so hard that day...
I'm pretty sure he was worried about getting kidnapped and draged away. Because we already have that history of abducting opposing politicians. And the (former) president really sent army to his house to capture him.
Hey someone living in Korea here, I was one of those ones that was asleep during the whole issue. Can confirm when I woke up the first few hours were a roller coaster lol. A few neighbors even came over for tea and the whole convo was just us dissing him. I didn't expect you would cover this and so quickly, thanks Mujin
@@Lenamm1403I thought this was a nothing burger(American so I didn't even know how bad it got) but if I'm hearing right south Koreans are making Americans look bad
If they did their work to solve problems. But then again if they did their work, they wouldn't feel the need to flee in the first place, let alone get stuck in traffic.
Thank you for sharing this. This event hits close to my home, Argentina, because in 2001 the former president Fernando de la Rúa tried to impose martial law too. 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. Truly there's no greater power in a nation than their people united for freedom.
@@The_Real_Alpharius he did have the backing of the military, he is the reason they went home, because he acknowledge parliament's (illegal) vote. that was his mistake, he did not have to do that.
One thing not mentioned: it wasn't just the opposing party that made up the voting against martial law. It included members of the President's own party, and yet the vote was still _100% unanimous_
Imagine being part of the president’s party, seeing the hundred+ members of the Democratic Party make it to the vote, and still voting to maintain martial law.
@@YAH93 What does the north have to do with this? They're two separate countries. Guy's statement is 100% correct as he obviously referred to South Korea.
The crazy thing is that there are Koreans who slept through all of this and woke up to news about how their president tried to establish a dictatorship, fellow Koreans protesting against it and it all resolving before you even woke up. But it's definitely good for South Korea! It will definitely strengthen their sense of democracy and how in the end the citizens have the power, not the politicians they voted for!
@@BeyondDaX and the bigger worry is now they will dissect this failed attempt to see where it failed so that they are better prepared to make it work... next time...
I'm sorry but the 60 year old opposition leader breaking and entering into parliament under military control on a RUclips livestream is hilarious. Koreans really do take quick resolutions seriously, the fact that this all happened in a 6 hour timespan is truly unreal.
@@soccermatrixI think he meant when Trump essentially tried the same thing the now ex-president of South Korea did by barricading himself and his supporters in the white house but rather than going to jail he became president once again
I just why didn't the military support him properly? I mean its good the soldiers have a conscience, but I would usually think soldiers are mindless and always follow orders regardless of the consequences.
@@silverjuly9339 Because the military is made up of ordinary young men who are forced to serve it instead of professional mercenaries who dont give a single f about the people they're "protecting"
Imagine if it worked. Imagine being one of the Koreans who were asleep and waking up to a full dictatorship. Absolutely terrifying. Thank god people stood up and fought back.
Yun Sok Yeol: “I am declaring Martial Law.” Also Yun Sok Yeol, several hours later: “I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don't expect to be forgiven.”
Exactly, look at France, just to form a single party from 3 different ones when the actual winner party gets snubbed, and now the president is facing being removed already
you have authoritarianism and oligarchy rule in most of "democracies" on earth... you never get freedom because majority of idiots around you vote as ads and and big money decides... and what freedom really is? for each person can be completely different thing lol especially in western vs eastern mindsets
it's actually kind of fucking awesome being able to see history go down, covered by a fellow human shortly after it took place and having the information transferred to me, on the other side of the globe
To put into perspective. In the year of 1300. You would only hear of news from within your county and maybe from outside if there are wars going on. In the year 1600. Communication is global through couriers carrying parcels and mail across the globe via the sea, but it would take weeks to months to reach its destination. In the year of today, you will get news instantaneously from around the globe as soon as the event occurs.

Being able to legally prevent lawmakers from actually meeting to vote is a loophole I didn’t think I’d see again this century. This is some Florida in 1868 shenanigans.
true the law is prone to be abused because it's a catch 22, once martial law is in order, the parliament can't gather so you could argue the vote to cancel martial law was illegal. At that point it was up to military which side to pick.
@@wildfire9280 oh martial law doesn't affect the parliament. President dispatching military forces around parliament itself is a huge deal because it is not in his rights within martial law
I appreciate your work. This video is short but straight to the point and very clear. I watched other videos, some longer than this, but they were confusing or didn't provide complete information. Yet, once again, your video explains the situation very clearly. Thank you, and great job!
He failed on multiple areas of trying to be Palpatine. 1. Palpatine was so charismatic and played the political game so well the senate basically gave him the dictatorship. 2. Palpatine was orchestrating both sides of the potential war 3. Palpatine spent years laying the groundwork for executing his plan
He needs to have “inside man” in military. As far as we know, the ministry of defense is loyal to him and perhaps he thought it’s possible because he had him. But he never actually had “oligarchs leadership” In military. Under normal martial law circumstances, military would shoot any lawmakers on sight / climbing the national assembly. But in this case, the military is too scared if they would be the scapegoat if the worst did happen.
@@MaxWeb2599 In the newer movies i think he won in the end, he dies and then clones and kill his clone lets him take over your body or something so Rey is now Palpatine or something like that. Yeah he still lives on. In the episode one, he wins there too that is how we get the OG star wars. In those OG trilogy it seemed he failed only because he foresaw Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker defeating him. Knowing the future and maybe immortality? Unnatural. . .
Seems like total military service have a underestimated role in this (crowd wouldn't able to defy the soldiers guarding national assembly building if people in the crowd wouldn't gone through military service themselves so they knew how to act)
That's like saying parents should be afraid of their children. Although V is kinda right, at the same time, he is not because the whole reason for having a government is the same reason as children needing parents.
@@karuto5849 you seeing government as a parent is fcking rtarded. The government dont care about you. Nor any politicians. Stop your unrealistic headcanon😂
@@AtticusKarpenter Exactly, that's the thing when you cannot avoid military service, when the entire civilian people has military training, they would know exactly when and how to act. And it's bad when they're retired military service, because you don't have the rights to do about it.
@@karuto5849 True, however, it's more on when leaders realize that the people are the ones that put them in the position in the first place, they would have the right to boot you off the seat and it's very bad when the opposing side gets rallied by the people. Which is a W for him livestream that shit.
A unit of 12 members from the 707 Special Mission Battalion subdued 5 Election Commission officials and confiscated their mobile phones. Shortly after, 100 special forces thoroughly searched the headquarters, training center, and branches of the Election Commission for three hours. This took place while all media attention was focused on the National Assembly. The special forces collected evidence from a large number of computers, servers, documents, tablets, and laptops before withdrawing calmly, while 200 police officers secured the perimeter of the Election Commission building.
The President of South Korea focused on the Election Commission at a time when attention was concentrated on the National Assembly. Reports indicate that 300 special forces seized the Election Commission's servers in order to find evidence of election fraud. This was under martial law. In fact, the Election Commission does not have a warrant. It is impossible to search this place without military personnel. paliment situation is just theatrical act soldiers doesnt have bullet real force head to Election Commission's
Even though the women arent required to serve military time, I saw footage of one lady GRABBING A SOLDIER'S GUN. What a madlad, I wouldve been too chicken
Fun facts I know as a Korean citizen: 1. I was asleep the whole time lol 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.

Props to the citizens in South Korea for stopping it before it got way worse! Hopefully things settle back down soon, and preferably, this dissuades anyone else from trying it again. Wishing the best for the people over there and that there wasn’t any major injuries.

@@ArcanePower1 I also think we should give props to the SOF soldiers “guarding” the parliament. They were actively de-escalating the situation and basically let the protestors and law makers through after one or two half-hearted pushes. Kinda like, “I’m doing my job, oh nooooooo, they’re running right pass me! Well, I tried my best.”
It's one thing to try to become a dictator... but it's a whole other thing to try to become a dictator in a country that's right next to a dictatorship and which was a dictatorship within the lifetime of most of its current citizens or their parents. Who did he think he was fooling?
Well, considering South Korea's history of leaders, I can guess that he is facing so severe charges after his term ends that this gamble was worth the try.
He didn't even have the bare minimum which is military backing. With how the South Korean military is organized, it's very difficult to attempt a coup now anyway though
@@sharpasacueball he was being overconfident. He thought that the Minister of Defense (his junior in high school) would be enough backing to pull this kind of stunt. The fact that his wife has been connected to insider trading and gratification case didn't help him either. The biggest irony is, before taking the office of president, he was the General Prosecutor in the impeachment and conviction of Park Gyun-hye, another SK president, over abuse of power and influence peddling.
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.
Bro your Fact 3 is actually fake. Ruling party has two group in it(친윤 president Yoon-friendly and 친한 party leader Han-friendy). party leader Han and his supportive parliamnts also get in to national assembly and join the vote.
@@corneliusmcmuffin3256 Ive heard that Nk is also feed up with this guy. So they Said no unification under any conditions and even blew up train trucks that connected north with south.
South Korean highschooler here! The students were going on social media and protesting about it, and some students, like me and my friends, rushed to the congress to protest. 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. So the thing to take note from this event is that history education is important, and because of well-educated people, we were able to stop this from prevailing into a horrific repetition of history.

Absolutely in situations like this everyone needs to remember there are strength in numbers. and in this situation you had trained citizens banding together. awesome.
This is what people need to see an recognize, A single person can make a law but that won't physically stop an entire country. A gun can make people hesitate but 5 guns can't stop thousands of people.
the gun didn't make people hesitate that woman slapped that soldier around who had that M4A1 pointed at her. The soldier didn't have the guts to commit treason to protect the president. I bet most of the soldiers didn't want to be there either.

Are you going to say the same thing when he turns out to be correct and their Democratic party hands the country over to the N Koreans on a platter? I see a lot of criticism of him implementing this, and not a lot of looking into the veracity of his claims.
@@PuzzlesocksNo. If the people of SK don't do the same when the government hands their country over to NK, I won't preach that we should take away the rights of the SK people for their own benefit. Politicians will do evil things. Taking the rights of the people away to stop it is not worth preventing that. It's much easier to come back from a set of bad policy changes, trade deals, and corruption than it is to go back to any form of self-governance after legitimizing a dictator.
@@nathanielmohr9622 Tell that to Rome. It's easier and less morally objectionable to overthrow a tyrant than it is to root out "corruption" within your own people. Lets spitball that even 25% of the opposition were NK spies of some sort. Would going after 25% of the current majority party for treason be reasonable or even feasible without martial law? I'm just saying I don't know the extent of the problem. It could be 0%, or it could be 100%, but no one seems to be asking that question which just makes me more suspicious.
@@myrya_artthe really confusing part is those members actually go against their country men/women. No president has power of the people don’t allow him it.

We, as Koreans, still cannot understand why the President did what he did. The three possibilities we speculated on, based on our collective imagination during the vote, are as follows: 1. He woke up after drinking heavily the night before. 2. He was inspired by a coup d’état movie. 3. He invested in Bitcoin.
@@ryananggoro493its not concrete yet but the word that has been circulating the nation is that the since the martial law declaration was so sudden, most soldiers did not get a complete memo of what they were doing and what for. So regular NCOs and conscriptors will most likely not be charged with assisting a coup -- but the officers (especially high ranking ones) will be held accountable. Its the lawmakers' decision of what to do with the soldiers, and nothing is concrete as of yet
@@Vidjnjsdnjk-en6tz cause the orders are garbage. In fact, international law states that as a human, it is your duty to oppose certain inhuman acts above all else, so the "I was just following orders" is not a catch-all excuse.
Fun fact) The soldiers were informed that the North Koreans had crossed the armistice line and that they had to go out. Therefore, after arriving at the National Assembly, they felt confused and passive in his operations.
i live in korea, just outside of seoul and commute there to work it was wild watching all this unfold on the tv. and the way i found out was on reddit! a person who doesn’t even live in korea posted in r/seoul something along the lines of “everyone in seoul i hope you’re okay and safe” and a lot of us were like “huh? what do you mean? we’re fine.” and they were like “the martial law thing?” i was so surprised and looked it up and sure enough there it was.
I study in Japan (I'm from Europe) and got a random call from my dad at like 2 in the morning after not speaking to him in a month. He asked if we have an emergency declared due to North Korea as well, I hadn't seen the news and asumed that he was talking about another Nuclear test or something, before saying nope and changing the topic. Only now I realised that he probably saw news about this and that was the reason for the call lol
I was watching all unfold from the UK via live links and later listening to HYBE BOY explaining some of the bits I wasn't totally sure of. He was there and boy did he sound tired.
What's sad is my fellow Americans are filled with so many chemicals making them docile and cowardly that they would NEVER grab onto a rifle like that out of fear of being hurt. They're so desensitized and disillusioned by video games they think they'd be more useful or brave than they actually are. I hope if this day comes my fellow Americans will FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT just as hard. It WILL COME. And soon.
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.
this is the best proof i think we've ever gotten that the people are stronger than the government. if we ever band together enough, we could also save our country if necessary. the odds of the whole country being together on something politically though, the way the koreans were, is very low. unfortunately we've been probably permanently divided.
Well, you're not as wrong as you seem on the face of it, because if the governmemt decides to go full on, then everyone dies and the government has no one to govern.
@ you watch to much tv! I guess you’ve never heard of propaganda!! I love America, but we’re not perfect and I don’t thank a country that don’t have it all together is someone to look up to! But ya to make your point we do have it a lot better then a lot of country’s and our morals are sometimes the best around, and we should be a beacon of hope in the world, but that don’t mean that’s the case! And also in my opinion we are still the best country on this earth, ya we got some work to do but we’re still the best! That don’t mean other country’s don’t have their shit together when it come to what happened in south Korea
@ and it’s not our job to make sure other countries don’t commit tyranny that’s up to the people and they did what they needed to do, we don’t expect others to come save us when we’re having troubles with our government we fix it ourselves

There is one country in Africa where the military government took over and actually seemed to have made it better. Couped against the corrupt 'El Presidente', still driving his old military jeep, but instead of embezzling, he is buying full on tractors, water pumps, crop seeds and those small 'put a ploughshare attachment on' 2 wheel motors that you push, kind of like an ox pulled plough, but with an engine.
bro what a time to be alive. At this rate my grandkids are gonna be hearing 3 hour long stories of "SO THERE I WAS, WITNESSING A FAILED COUP, A CHAOTIC US ELECTION, P DIDDY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON GTA6'S RELEASE DATE"
For those who don't follow South Korean history, the President's used to routinely declare martial law and freeze out the parliament before the 80's, even arresting key members for a couple days during critical votes. It really looks like he took a page out of his grandfathers playbook with this move.😅
I would honestly call this a triumph of the democratic spirit of the people of south korea. The fact that an attempted coup via martial law was so quickly overturned and defeated is phenomenal. While the event itself was scary, there is a ton of hope in the fact that the coup was so unsucesful.
How would you feel about this if it turns out that the people overturning this actually are in collusion with N. Korea? What if this all turns out to be a failure of democracy because the people are not properly informed? If so, then the real coup are the people who put a stop to the martial law.
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.
And yet, they are still just mindless drones in their uniform and would implement a dictator if told to and so the question on how ethical they handled it really doesn't matter. Let's not normalize Stockholm syndrome here.
Please do not say anything if you do not know the facts.. they were not conscripted soldiers.. 707 (who were the soldiers that were dispatched for the martial law) is a special force which means that they are all career military soldiers... they are claiming that they were told by their higher-ups that they were going to North Korea but this is a lie and a cover-up as it has been noted that they were given a map of the parliamentary building days before so they know how to enter the building as well knowing where the opposition party leader room is on the orders to arrest him.. please stop this nonsense I keep seeing of them being conscripted and innocent and not knowing what was going on.. they are playing with you, they are not innocent.. they are using the same excuse they used by the soldiers that were sent to massacre citizens of Gwangju in 1980s... they were not peaceful (I know they could have been more violence but that does not mean there weren't any), there are videos filmed of the soliders breaking into the building, pushing civilians to the floor... do you know the military hospital had a training of how to handle large amounts of injured people 4 days before martial law was declared? 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
@@spark6649 If the soldiers were really in on it like you said, why didn't they shoot live rounds? Even with cameras rolling, with that much prep work, that wouldn't matter that much. Obviously there was some mental discourse between the 707th guys on the scene.
impressive how he thought declaring martial law was a good idea given that the military wasn't even completely onboard or knew what to do and the fact that his approval rating at the time was at 19%
Started this video thinking "oh good, another awful thing happened" and came out of it with renewed faith in humanity. People can still come together to defend their rights against oppression. They can still choose to act, and not all politicians will let oppressions happen without a fight either. Today is a good day. I salute the South Korean people.

He should have thought about that when he ran and made crazy promises then. He promised all those things, and didn’t get them done, now people don’t like him, and that’s not an excuse to become a dictator
@@PopoTCG the hurricanes, the school shootings, the riots, the polarized politics, the list goes on. I live in multiple countries, and I would take this "awful thing" in South Korea where people actually banded together and stood up against authoritarianism than self-righteous people who think everything is peachy in America
Lmao, this is actually typical for a SK president. Look at their last 10 presidents and the various corrupt things they did. SK has even worse leaders than China.
I mean its also not the best. In south korea, most of the Presidents ended up as dictators, dead or imprisoned, those who were imprisoned were pardoned
Yeah when you impeach someone on actual substanciated charges, for sure. When you use lawfare to target political opposition and make up factually evident lies, it doesnt go so well.
Damn, I knew this happened but had no idea why and American media sucks. Thank you so much for staying up to record this. I stayed up to watch it. You're a bro.
Yeah with how things going in my country (Myanmar), you do not want martial law no matter what. It was the best outcome because of the Korean people take action immediately.
This happened this way because we went through countless tragedies, exactly like current Myanmar. After 20 or so years, you guys are gonna get a leader who tries a coup and fails because the people know it leads to a bad road. The best possible solution is to educate the public and have better politics but that's hard to implement. All in all the situations of Myanmar are extremely difficult to handle with power within the country. If there were democratic countries that are strong and willing to help, that would solve the situation, maybe.
Well, that was amazing bonding experience😂 Imagine people who participated in this decades later reminiscing "Hey, remember how we overthrew martial law in 2024, Haha, yeah that politician jumped over the fence" Hope nobody got hurt or killed
In North Korea, as we all thought, Kim Jong Un's hot sister poisoned and overthrown him in 2020 😂 but no, dude was just actually sick and returned shortly after, fun is prevented
The army wasn't even try their best. Their commander lied to them that they were going to north korea, not the court. There's actually a clip where a solider apologizes to a citizen for pushing him to hard. The soldiers were also korean citizens who knew what was wrong and them not trying their best was wholesome
@@questonblock people didn't see the clip where the staffer was blocking the doorway with the Parliament chair to prevent the military from storming the chamber, while also using a fire extinguisher to spray the soldier away.
The army was just a mess, but they are as guilty.. if they thought they were going to North Korea, they wouldn't have broken into the building.. all a lie
Have you seen the clip of the soldiers flooding in the parliamentary building? They don't look confused on why they are invading the parliamentary building, instead of North Korea.. the army is as guilty as the president, stop spreading the lies
@@questonblockthey were duty bound to do so, otherwise they can be court martialed for insubordination. It was an unfortunate position to be in for the soldiers.
I am currently in korea for vacation and i actually escaped to Busan a couple of days ago. december 1st, to be exact. I slept at 10:30 pm in December 3rd, and woke up in the morning of December 4th at 6 am. Literally martial law was placed and lifted in the span of me sleeping XD
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.

Thank you Mujin, your videos are always informative in a casual manner.
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.
the fact that all of this happened in the span of like 3-4 hours on a random tuesday and will have to go into some kids history book is insane.

He failed on multiple areas of trying to be Palpatine.
1. Palpatine was so charismatic and played the political game so well the senate basically gave him the dictatorship.
2. Palpatine was orchestrating both sides of the potential war
3. Palpatine spent years laying the groundwork for executing his plan
He needs to have “inside man” in military. As far as we know, the ministry of defense is loyal to him and perhaps he thought it’s possible because he had him. But he never actually had “oligarchs leadership” In military.
Under normal martial law circumstances, military would shoot any lawmakers on sight / climbing the national assembly. But in this case, the military is too scared if they would be the scapegoat if the worst did happen.
And he could shoot lightnings from his fingertips 😅

A unit of 12 members from the 707 Special Mission Battalion subdued 5 Election Commission officials and confiscated their mobile phones. Shortly after, 100 special forces thoroughly searched the headquarters, training center, and branches of the Election Commission for three hours. This took place while all media attention was focused on the National Assembly. The special forces collected evidence from a large number of computers, servers, documents, tablets, and laptops before withdrawing calmly, while 200 police officers secured the perimeter of the Election Commission building.

3. All of the votes of the 190 memebers who showed up was unanimously to shut the emergency martial law

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)

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...

President Yoon's step was calculated,
But boy was he bad at math.
Well, considering South Korea's history of leaders, I can guess that he is facing so severe charges after his term ends that this gamble was worth the try.
He didn't even have the bare minimum which is military backing. With how the South Korean military is organized, it's very difficult to attempt a coup now anyway though
His calculation is so bad. He will did it if he's at least on the popular votes among people, but this guy doesn't even have mirror in his house
@@whatismyadjectiveiconfusedwhat?? 💀
@@sharpasacueball he was being overconfident. He thought that the Minister of Defense (his junior in high school) would be enough backing to pull this kind of stunt. The fact that his wife has been connected to insider trading and gratification case didn't help him either.
The biggest irony is, before taking the office of president, he was the General Prosecutor in the impeachment and conviction of Park Gyun-hye, another SK president, over abuse of power and influence peddling.
The Black Ops OST goes hard with him narrating over it this whole charade 🔥🔥🔥
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.
Bro your Fact 3 is actually fake. Ruling party has two group in it(친윤 president Yoon-friendly and 친한 party leader Han-friendy). party leader Han and his supportive parliamnts also get in to national assembly and join the vote.

So the thing to take note from this event is that history education is important, and because of well-educated people, we were able to stop this from prevailing into a horrific repetition of history.

The President of South Korea focused on the Election Commission at a time when attention was concentrated on the National Assembly. Reports indicate that 300 special forces seized the Election Commission's servers in order to find evidence of election fraud. This was under martial law. In fact, the Election Commission does not have a warrant. It is impossible to search this place without military personnel.

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.)

It really looks like he took a page out of his grandfathers playbook with this move.😅
I would honestly call this a triumph of the democratic spirit of the people of south korea. The fact that an attempted coup via martial law was so quickly overturned and defeated is phenomenal. While the event itself was scary, there is a ton of hope in the fact that the coup was so unsucesful.
How would you feel about this if it turns out that the people overturning this actually are in collusion with N. Korea? What if this all turns out to be a failure of democracy because the people are not properly informed? If so, then the real coup are the people who put a stop to the martial law.
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.
And yet, they are still just mindless drones in their uniform and would implement a dictator if told to and so the question on how ethical they handled it really doesn't matter. Let's not normalize Stockholm syndrome here.

They expected blood..!

All in all the situations of Myanmar are extremely difficult to handle with power within the country. If there were democratic countries that are strong and willing to help, that would solve the situation, maybe.
Well, that was amazing bonding experience😂 Imagine people who participated in this decades later reminiscing "Hey, remember how we overthrew martial law in 2024, Haha, yeah that politician jumped over the fence"
Hope nobody got hurt or killed
"lets declare martial law!!"
*loses job in less than 8 hours*
*“NORTH KOREA, NO!!!”*
N. Korea: “What?”
“Sorry, forced of habit”
In North Korea, as we all thought, Kim Jong Un's hot sister poisoned and overthrown him in 2020 😂
but no, dude was just actually sick and returned shortly after, fun is prevented
@AtticusKarpenter that was nuts and im so pissed
Thanksgiving Simpsons. Nice reference.
also North Korea: "failing to implement martial law?, i don't suffer from such weakness".
I thought Philippine Politics will be this crazy, but this bro had went it to a new standard 😭😭😭
Tfw you make a worse decision than the philippine government is crazy
Nah the Philippines politics still suck more than Korea.
I was going to say, this dude basically is a more incompetent marcos, complete with his own Imelda buying up luxury goods.
PH politics is still shittier than Korean lmao. Most officials are blood related and you can even call PH government as their "family business"
As soon as I heard about the guy declaring martial law, my first thoughts were:
Nahhhh
Marcos moment TwT//
If this was the US, people would be cheering for martial law.
The army wasn't even try their best. Their commander lied to them that they were going to north korea, not the court. There's actually a clip where a solider apologizes to a citizen for pushing him to hard. The soldiers were also korean citizens who knew what was wrong and them not trying their best was wholesome
Yea but they also tried to break into the building and arrest the lawmakers
@@questonblock people didn't see the clip where the staffer was blocking the doorway with the Parliament chair to prevent the military from storming the chamber, while also using a fire extinguisher to spray the soldier away.
The army was just a mess, but they are as guilty.. if they thought they were going to North Korea, they wouldn't have broken into the building.. all a lie
Have you seen the clip of the soldiers flooding in the parliamentary building? They don't look confused on why they are invading the parliamentary building, instead of North Korea.. the army is as guilty as the president, stop spreading the lies
@@questonblockthey were duty bound to do so, otherwise they can be court martialed for insubordination. It was an unfortunate position to be in for the soldiers.
I am currently in korea for vacation and i actually escaped to Busan a couple of days ago. december 1st, to be exact. I slept at 10:30 pm in December 3rd, and woke up in the morning of December 4th at 6 am. Literally martial law was placed and lifted in the span of me sleeping XD
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.
@MaximumHeresey well that lawmaker was inches away from being smoked in the face.... U really don't want to grab a dude's rifle during an unrest... thanks God for the professionalism of the Operator...
@@MaximumHeresey 2024 sure is a time to be a live, that president got absolutely clowned XD
Imagine getting an 82 year old half drunk man to pass your military barricade

The Enlightenment Party! LOL!
The brave woman who grappled with the soldier is Ahn Gwi-Ryeong. She is the spokesperson for the Democratic Party :)
