This is a giant nothing burger.

The Korean peninsula is about to end as we know it.

All is well.

Everyone panic.

Someone needs to reset the “Days Since Our Last Impeachment” sign in South Korea.

South Korea has not had very good luck with their recent presidents. Wasn't the one before some sort of hardcore cultist that was a puppet of her cult's leader?

Military says it will continue to implement Martial Law until Yoon Suk Yeol lifts it, despite the parliament vote.

Thats not ideal.

In scenarios such as these, he who controls the Military controls the Nation.

Hmmm am I the only one thinking they declared Martial Law to find out who left the fan on overnight?

I think I need to speak with this 'Martial' fellow so I can understand what kind of laws he wants to implement.

Sounds like Yoon has requested the military end enforcement of martial law. At least, according to a machine translation of this article.

Yeah, South Korea is a huge mess. 0.81 births per woman in 2021. Then the elected Yoon, whose solution is basically to send the women back to the kitchen, and now even more South Korean woman are finding more men undateable, and birth rate has dropped to 0.68 in 2024 (estimated). Give South Korea a few decades of exponential population decay and North Korea will win the war by virtue of being the only Korea left.

My friend in Seoul messaged back last night... her thoughts:

- she voted for the current President
- she is not a supporter of the other party (Democratic Party), says that party supports Kim Jung Un (current leader of North Korea)
- brought up the current doctor strike over there which has been ongoing for about 6 months or so
- despite voting for the current President, she thinks he's a dumbass for thinking this martial law thing would work
- she tells me it feels like the current President has been steadily been losing popularity ever since he came into office... even then, she will never support the other party based on her own values
