Interesting discussion with @erikvoeten.bsky.social as a courthouse was smashed and the president was indicted in Korea. Such rollercoaster months since December last year.

Wrote a piece in with Hye Young You goodauthority.org/news/south-k... Our main points: - massage from South Korean politicians and citizens was clear: no return to military rule. - then, why democratic institutions that should have deterred President’s undemocratic move did not work?

How strong is South Korea's democracy?
The big lesson from the recent tests of democratic resilience in South Korea is that any democracy can be at risk.

With Yoon Suk Yeol facing impeachment, a new South Korean government could complicate Joe Biden's plan to counter China's rise as a military superpower. www.ft.com/content/6664...

I appeared in wbur radio show (also part of npr podcast) called “On Point” to discuss what happened in South Korea. The show describes the event, background, and the past quite well if you are curious about the bigger picture. @johnskuk.bsky.social was there too! www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

Ruling party has the key now. There will be impeachment voting at the National Assembly in 6 hours. Opposition needs 8 more votes to impeach President Yoon.

A detail in this timeline caught my eye: "The DP had raised concerns over reports of informal meetings among Yoon’s high school alumni in military and ministerial positions." Brings to mind a great article by @jeanhong.bsky.social & Joon Nak Choi on social networks in the S.K. democratic transition:

🇰🇷 S. Korea's president invoked martial law—then revoked it just 6 hours later. What caused this unprecedented move? And what’s next for Yoon Suk Yeol? Read @eunajo.bsky.social's piece on @goodauth.bsky.social: goodauthority.org/news/martial... #SouthKorea #Polisky

South Korea's president briefly declared martial law.
President Yoon’s approval rating hit a record low, at just 19 percent, last week. So what's behind his declaration of martial law?

South Korean president just declared emergency martial law and prohibited all political activities as the first order. Last emergency martial law was before my birth under Park Chung-hee regime in 1979. I am speechless and my head is all murky. www.cnn.com/2024/12/03/a...
