South Korean President Yoon was removed from office 123 days after attempting martial law, following a unanimous Constitutional Court ruling. People across Korea are celebrating in the streets, while millions in the Korean diaspora watched the decision via livestream.

“I’m a part of you, and you’re a part of me. Here, I’ve met people like me—people who wouldn’t hate me—and through all of you, I’ve finally found the courage to love this cruel world.”These powerful words remind us of the strength we find in solidarity. I’m always learning so much from the streets.

Stayed up all night, anxiously following the news. Yet, the motion to impeach President Yoon failed because the ruling party boycotted the vote. Unacceptable and outrageous. Yoon must be impeached immediately and the People Power Party must be dissolved. A long and difficult battle lies ahead.

So many thoughts and emotions are swirling in my mind. Above all, I’m deeply grateful to the citizens and activists who rushed to the National Assembly as soon as the breaking news broke. They stood firm against the police and military, physically blocking special forces from entering the building.
