Korea always brings me to tears. Seeing all the protesters and the passion for democracy… the way Koreans protest is the best in the world. They are not violent, don’t destroy property, they are organized and they produce results. They even pick up trash after.
I was touched to see university students and night workers and anyone else who tuned in even if they were far away to drop everything without hesitation and quickly go to the assembly and protect Democracy.
Clearly has no idea what kind of situation South Korea is in. He didn't do it for the dictatorships, he activated Martial law after the Democracy party of Korea continuously refused expanding the espionage act (why?), and try to strip off National security act. I'll say the president planned this pretty poorly but South Korea is in active battle against the North Korean communists. It's ironic he had to use Martial law to fight against the communists, but it is president's right to use it. So save your tears when South Korea gets taken over by the communists.
To people shocked about Korean military having to stand against their own people, in Pakistan it has become the norm. Last week in Pakistan, the military shot at protestors and Pakistan had it's own version of the Gwanju massacre. Not much coverage in international media. But it's so heartening to see the people of South Korea stand for its democracy.
CCP didn’t need martial law to suppress protests, they have so many ways to do so, I think no much people in the English world here have real experiences during with authoritarian regimes, they have so many weapons. Like the national security law in Hong Kong is even stringent than martial law.
praying for the freedom and safety of south korea people can't believe they dared to do this AGAIN, this is crazy. stay strong people, stay by your freedom!
@@adada3908 Martial law might be a temporary response to emergencies in democracies, but in dictatorships it is often permanent. It is not only possible for martial law to be enacted in democracies, it is in fact way more common for them to happen in dictatorships. For example Myanmar which is under rule of the military junta.

He tried to be a dictator and failed spectacularly. On one hand this is good news. It means that South Korea democracy systems and laws are solid to the point that no matter which crazy person get elected in, they will not be able to turn it back into autocracy. It’s a sign that the country is ruled by its laws, and not by a president. This is good.
That's the point, really. He has none left. Even a dog would resign from that shame he brought an imposition of martial law. He's not a human. president president

By SK laws, if the president is removed for whatever reason (impeachment, resignation, death, etc) before their term ends, the prime minister of SK (this is basically the vice president) takes the temporary role of acting president only for 60 days. During that 60 days a special general election is held to elect a new president. Then a new 5 year term starts with a new elected president. (SK president is 1 term 5 years cycle)
President Yoon is from conservative party, but the leading party in S Korea, in terms of the number of parliamentary seats, is Liberal one. However, this liberal party has been delaying and refusing to approve a law expanding the anti-spy act. And they have cut more than half of national budget for nuclear energy (one of the key national industries). People say that because of the liberal party’s overreach, the president wanted to bring some attention but seriously this was a really really bad step. The majority of ppl are no longer keen on learning “why”. His opposition sides are already on the streets protesting loool
Big salutes to Korean parliament and ordinary people for keeping democracy over martial law!! This never happen in Thailand, my country, where Martial law or military's Coup de' tat always prevail over the true democracy!! here😅
Almost 20 yrs of martial law in the Philippines brought havoc and hardship to its people and economy. Graft and corruption in government became the norm. Koreans learn from the Philippines
His wife was about to be prosecuted for corruption and he would be next along with his family. It was a hail marry move by him and some of his supporters in the military. But the soldiers’ heart were not in it along with everyone.
Everyone is grateful for the protestors, but let's be grateful to the military for listening to parliament and not destroying democracy. There is still some good in this world after all.
