some of these do contain some kind of analysis of Orientalism & imperialism, using some vocabulary from critical theory, only to feed misogynistic and racialized anxieties of postcolonial nationalism. it's a general trend in digital narratives I've been fascinated by

Despite all the political turbulence in S. Korea, I’m glad to have successfully submitted all my grades, officially marking the end of this quarter. I also received a lovely thank-you card from a former student, which was a wonderful surprise.❤️ Now, I can fully enjoy the start of my winter break!😊

케이팝을 틀고 응원봉을 흔드는 집회 문화에 대한 생경함과 놀라움에 대한 언론 보도가 연일 이어지고 있는데, 그 배경에 있어서 잘 가시화되지 않은 점은 성소수자 운동이 이미 오랫동안 케이팝을 집회의 레퍼토리로 활용해왔다는 점이다.

The Korean version of my essay, “Queer Theory Impossible” is reprinted in Munhakdongne’s 30th-anniversary anthology. It critiques the US-centric construction of queer theory and its failure when translated globally, highlighting its entrenchment in privileged institutions of the US.

At yesterday’s DKSC emergency roundtable, we explored feminist/queer perspectives on protests, the politics of remembering/forgetting, and the positionality of US-based Korean scholars, rethinking democracy beyond US-centric Cold War frameworks while interrogating heteropatriarchal nationalism.

Wrong headline, NYT. Should read: Impeachment Vote Foiled by Boycott from Yoon's Allies. Ruling party refused to hold the President accountable for what most South Koreans believe was an act of treason. That's the ruling party's failure -- not the opposition's.

Just in: The impeachment vote against President Yoon has failed, as 105 of 108 PPP (ruling party) lawmakers boycotted, leaving the National Assembly short of the required votes. The Democratic Party may reintroduce the impeachment motion as early as next week, but it's going to be a long fight..😡

The impeachment vote is currently underway, but it appears futile—without the necessary numbers to pass, as members of the ruling party have walked out of Parliament in opposition. Their blatant disregard for Korean citizen's demand for justice infuriates me.

Sleepless nights continue as Korea’s political situation shifts hour by hour. Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in front of the National Assembly and across the nation, demanding President Yoon’s impeachment after his reckless decision to impose martial law earlier this week.

Yoon must resign or be impeached for actions that have caused great harm to the nation. Yet the impeachment process remains stalled, blocked by the ruling party. It’s infuriating that the Korean people endure all this pain and immense social costs of one president's incompetence and wrong decisions.

As lawmakers move to impeach South Korean President Yoon, what happens next?

Calls are growing for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ouster after he declared then rescinded martial law. Here’s how an impeachment would work.

Many in Korea are enduring sleepless nights, with many taking to the streets to demand the impeachment, resignation, and arrest of President Yoon. Labor unions and civil society groups, including LGBTQ organizations, have issued statements calling for his prosecution and that of his accomplices.

So the South Korean National Assembly voted unanimously to lift martial law. The critical question now is whether Yoon will comply with the resolution and officially lift it. Given the illegal process behind his declaration of martial law, the situation has created grounds for possible impeachment.
