I wonder if this could spiral down into having a dictatorial government, just how Marcos Sr was able to orchestrate his 20-year rule in the Philippines. I have no idea how bad the opposition in S. Korea is behaving, since there seems to some kind of impasse at parliament.

But then…

Context and Concerns

The sudden declaration of martial law has raised concerns about its potential impact on South Korea’s democracy and civil liberties. Although the president emphasized the need to address threats from North Korea and internal instability, he provided little detail about the actions his government intends to take or how long the measures will last. It is also worth adding that President Yoon Suk Yeol’s wife has been in the news for engaging in corruption. 

— they sound like the Marcoses. 🙃

S. Korea isn’t stranger to martial law since it has experienced it several times since the 1960s. So let’s see how this would unfold.

Meanwhile, the US has yet to see the fireworks to be set again by Trump 2.0 but the world is watching with bated breath.

Whelp! The drama ends.

Good for the parliament. Good for the people. Now the president will be impeached—even his own party didn’t support him.

And this will inspire a new K-drama. 🤣

But I hate to be the one at the desk at this moment since this crosses over EMEA-N. America timeslot with Asia, it’s going rough being the one to edit news at speed. I did thank that I wasn’t chosen for that global editor gig because I just realized I don’t need that stress.

I spoke to my friend who recruited me to apply for that job, I said I might have done badly with the tests that’s why I wasn’t chosen. She said no, it wasn’t the test.

I think I might have quoted a too high salary 🤣.
