A previous vote to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol failed when it was boycotted by lawmakers from his party, but several have now supported his removal.

Summary

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached by the National Assembly for his unconstitutional declaration of martial law.

The vote, which required a two-thirds majority, saw support from both the opposition and members of Yoon’s governing party.

Yoon, suspended from state duties, faces investigation and potential rebellion charges, while the country grapples with political turmoil and North Korean propaganda.

    It’s the opposite. They’re inundated with propaganda. They hyper-capitalist “work at the expense of family and life” and the entire chaebol system is f’d.

    They’re an occupied nation that everyone pretends isn’t. But show me another country where the military answers to foreign commanders.

    Also, it’s illegal to read/watch/listen to North Korean media. If you say anything remotely positive about DPRK, good luck to you.
