Yoon Suk Yeol is trying to usher in another era of dictatorial rule in South Korea. Overlaying his speech with the dictator’s of old, @mbcnews asks the South Korean public, which side of history will you stand on?

A big question as Yoon's impeachment looms: Who are the front runners from the PPP and DP? Lee Jae-myung is currently appealing an indictment for 2022 election meddling. If that appeal fails, he will be banned from running in 2027, which I assume would apply to a snap election?

The third most popular party in the April election was the National Innovation Party, led by former Justice Minister Cho Kuk under the Moon Jae-in administration. This is extra spicy because Yoon was the prosecutor who forced Cho to resign.

Right now, the PPP has stated that they will not support the impeachment of Yoon. But will they stick to this line, or try to cut ties? And if LJM is toast, who is the next likely DP candidate? koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/…

Democratic Party statement: "Lifting martial law won't save Yoon from insurrection charges. He has shown the nation he cannot govern. He must resign immediately".
<대통령 담화에 대한 더불어민주당 입장문>
계엄을 해제한다 해도 내란죄를 피할 수 없습니다. 윤 대통령은 더이상 정상적인 국정운영을 할 수 없음이 온 국민 앞에 명백히 드러났습니다. 자리에서 내려와야 합니다.
즉시 하야하라! 국민의 명령이다!

White House spokesperson on Yoon Suk Yeol lifting martial law:
“We are relieved President Yoon has reversed course on his concerning declaration of martial law and respected the ROK National Assembly’s vote to end it. Democracy is at the foundation of the US-ROK alliance..."
