What is unfair is him declaring ML at night while politicians were asleep to prevent a vote against it and sending the military to stop them. He's going to ruin SK's democracy
(17th Session of the Constituent National Assembly, Statement by Specialist Member Kwon Seung-ryeol) "The question of whether a president's impeachment is strictly limited to cases of treason or sedition, or whether the president can face criminal prosecution for such acts without impeachment, was conclusively resolved in 1948 during Korea’s constitutional drafting process. This stands in stark contrast to the interpretative resolutions of similar issues under Article 52 of the 1947 Constitution of the Republic of China (see footnotes 46 and 49)." This record originates from the 1948 Constituent National Assembly’s proceedings during the drafting of Korea’s first Constitution. It addresses the president's term, powers, impeachment, and emergency criminal proceedings. Article 55 of the Constitution at the time (now Article 84: "The President shall not be subject to criminal prosecution during their term of office except in cases of treason or sedition.") was not based on judicial precedent or interpretation but was explicitly established as a constitutional principle reflecting sovereign authority. If we were to compare this to the United States, it would be akin to the constitutional provisions that limit the impeachment of a president to “high crimes and misdemeanors” under Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, with an understanding that the sitting president cannot face ordinary criminal prosecution while in office without impeachment. With Korea’s 1987 constitutional amendment, the nation shifted from a parliamentary system, where the president was selected by the legislature, to a direct presidential election system akin to the U.S. electoral process. This amendment further strengthened Korea's constitutionalism, similar to the evolution of checks and balances in American democracy. Records from June 23 and June 28 of the 1948 National Assembly firmly established that the president could only be prosecuted for treason or sedition following impeachment and removal from office by a judicial or constitutional body. And yet, what is the Democratic Party in Korea claiming today? They argue that the president’s “alignment with the United States and Japan while distancing from Russia and China” constitutes grounds for impeachment! If this happened in the U.S., would such reasoning equate to treason? Historical records confirm that requiring impeachment to prosecute a president for treason or sedition was a foundational principle of Korea’s 1948 Constitution. This principle mirrors the American framework where impeachment precedes any criminal prosecution of a sitting president. It has applied equally to all past Korean presidents, including Kim Dae-jung, who, like U.S. presidents, enjoyed immunity from prosecution while in office. The Constituent National Assembly deliberately codified impeachment grounds to acts of treason or sedition, much like the U.S. standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” So, who is truly undermining democracy today? Is it not the Democratic Party in Korea, disregarding constitutional principles, abusing impeachment powers, and paralyzing the government? Current State of the Government (Paralyzed by Reckless Impeachment): Imagine the chaos in the U.S. government if a partisan Congress weaponized impeachment to leave key government positions vacant: President: Vacant (Emergency Arrest Warrant Issued) Vice President: Vacant Cabinet Secretaries: Vacant Key Federal Agency Heads (DOJ, DHS, DOD): Vacant This hypothetical situation mirrors what is happening in Korea today. The Democratic Party in Korea, with the apparent support of the Constitutional Court, removed treason charges from the impeachment motion and secured an emergency arrest warrant for the president through a politicized legal process. This is akin to bypassing impeachment to arrest a sitting U.S. president, violating both constitutional norms and the principle of separation of powers. Severe Violations in Governance and Election Management Imagine if widespread allegations of voter fraud or electoral mismanagement emerged in the U.S., with evidence such as: Significant discrepancies between registered voters and votes cast. Election servers with passwords like “12345.” Hundreds of confirmed cases of nepotistic hiring within the Federal Election Commission. This hypothetical aligns with the reality in Korea, where the National Election Commission faces accusations of malpractice, compounded by allegations of North Korean cyberattacks on critical institutions, including the Supreme Court and military servers. Despite clear vulnerabilities, Korea's election commission has denied investigations, similar to what might occur if the Federal Election Commission in the U.S. refused congressional oversight or scrutiny by federal agencies like the FBI or CISA. Suspicious Election Outcomes and Power Consolidation by the Opposition The Democratic Party in Korea has secured 192 parliamentary seats through questionable means, allowing them to pass the impeachment motion against the president. To draw a parallel, this would be akin to one U.S. party dominating Congress through gerrymandered districts or satellite parties, then using that majority to impeach a sitting president for purely partisan reasons. Furthermore, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung faces allegations comparable to illegal campaign financing or collusion with foreign adversaries, yet defends his actions as “political diplomacy.” One of his close allies, Jeong Cheong-rae, reportedly had his U.S. visa denied, which recalls historical examples of individuals barred entry for anti-American activities. Threats to National Security and Public Order During the ongoing impeachment hearings in Korea, union members attempted to arrest the president, resulting in violent clashes. Imagine a scenario in the U.S. where private security firms attempt to detain a president during Senate impeachment hearings, leading to police officers being assaulted in the chaos. In Korea, two officers were injured, one of whom was struck on the head with a blunt object. Yet, the media and law enforcement leadership have largely ignored these incidents, reflecting the potential consequences of politically motivated media bias in the U.S. At the same time, the Democratic Party in Korea is pushing legislation to abolish presidential security, comparable to Congress defunding the Secret Service in the U.S. Such actions threaten not only the presidency but also the broader stability of the nation. Meanwhile, anti-impeachment rallies are composed of ordinary South Korean citizens, while pro-impeachment demonstrations include individuals with histories of espionage, pro-North Korea and pro-China affiliations, and even Chinese nationals. Some of these protesters use terms like “comrades” instead of “citizens” and carry signs with bizarre slogans such as “Shame on citizens” and “We remove you in the name of comradeship.” Constitutional Court and Power Imbalance The Constitutional Court in Korea is designed to mirror the U.S. Supreme Court’s balance, with justices recommended by the president, legislature, and judiciary. However, only one of Korea’s nine current Constitutional Court justices was appointed by President Yoon Suk-yeol, while the remaining eight were appointed by the opposition party’s former president. This imbalance would be like a U.S. Supreme Court stacked with justices from a single political party, undermining the judiciary's neutrality. Former President Moon Jae-in preemptively appointed multiple Constitutional Court justices just before leaving office, much like a lame-duck U.S. president rushing Supreme Court appointments to block their successor. Notably, during his term, President Moon handed over a USB to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, leading to multiple accusations of treason and aiding the enemy, yet he was never investigated or prosecuted and continues to live free of any repercussions even after leaving office. This situation constitutes a blatant violation of the Constitution and poses a grave threat to democracy. The people of South Korea are rallying with President Yoon Suk-yeol to defend freedom and constitutional principles. International attention is urgently needed. Korea’s stability is essential to global peace and could be key to averting another world conflict.

Yeah, communist china sent their troops to stop South Korean lawmakers from democratically veto-ing the martial law. Typical thing a communist party would do. Oh wait, that wasn't China. That was Seok Yul.

You have no issues with a president who deploys military forces to prevent lawmakers from performing their civic and democratic duties of veto-ing the martial law. All because he was losing power and influence.
It needs the right procedure to execute the law, but towards the impeachment, all the procedures are illegal. Plus the president has the absolute right to declare the martial law if needed, what is the arrest based on, against what???
The president has the the right to call for marrial law, but does he have the right to deploy military forces to prevent Korean lawmakers from their constitutional rights to vote against martial law? @Kyauk-r2y
@Kyauk-r2y you brainwashed imbecile. What about the impeachment process was illegal? Why would a president who aligns with democratic principles, deploy the military to prevent lawmakers from veto-ing the martial law? Dude literally strong armed the entire nation, because he can't deal with losing power and his wife would no longer put out if he didn't succumb to her wishes.
ILLEGAL WARRANT The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO; 공수처) obtained a warrant on treason charges (내란죄) despite lacking the legal authority to investigate such charges by law. Accordingly, this warrant is both unlawful and invalid. Moreover, Korean law explicitly prohibits searches of high-security government facilities, including the presidential residence. Nevertheless, a leftist judge arbitrarily disregarded this explicit legal provision and issued a warrant authorizing the search-an egregious abuse of judicial authority. Notably, the Seoul Western District Court, which approved this warrant, is heavily dominated by leftist judges. This raises serious concerns, especially since the CIO deliberately sought the warrant from this court rather than the Seoul Central District Court, which has proper jurisdiction over such cases. This clear attempt to exploit judicial bias highlights the alarming extent of judicial impartiality and overreach.
This argument of yours is nonsensical. The politics of South Korea is a big joke! The highest principle of law is "the rule of law"; it means there is always a proper way to challenge the legality of an act. If one can simply defy an arrest warrant by claiming the warrant being illegal, then who will need to comply to an arrest warrant? The court's order will always have no bite. How then can there be a stable political system? President Yoon should first comply with the arrest warrant and fight thelegality issue later and have the judges involved punished. That would be the rule of law. Furthermore, the arrest warrant did not permit searching the presidential office.

@@chanrasjid8688 Are you perhaps unfamiliar with the actual situation in South Korea as a non-Korean? There is no private army involved. Thery are Presidential Security Service, which is a legitimate national agency tasked with protecting the President of Korea. They are performing their official duties. President Yoon still holds the office. His powers are just currently suspended pending the outcome of the proceedings. Do you understand? Regarding the arrest warrant, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (공수처) lacks the legal authority to pursue the charges for which the arrest warrant was issued. In other words, the warrant is unlawful. Certain judges and officials, aligned with the Democratic Party, seem intent on undermining President Yoon without due legal process, facilitating a potential return to power for Democratic Party leader Jae Myung Lee. Are you not aware of the following facts about the Democratic Party? Key members of their primary support base, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, were found guilty for having sworn allegiance to North Korea and acting on directives aimed at destabilizing South Korea and inciting anti-U.S. and anti-President Yoon government sentiment. While in power, the Democratic Party stripped the National Intelligence Service's (South Korea’s CIA equivalent) counterintelligence authority, essentially prohibiting spy arrests. Furthermore, the Democratic Party has enacted legislation favoring North Korean and Chinese operatives and used their parliamentary majority to obstruct President Yoon’s administration. This includes cutting funding for President Yoon’s policies to ZERO and initiating 29 impeachment attempts against his government officials in just 2.5 years-an unprecedented number compared to 13 impeachment attempts across the previous FOUR administrations COMBINED. With the Democratic Party exploiting its majority to paralyze the government and prevent the filling of essential government roles, martial law was declared to protect democracy and ensure stability. This is not a political rivalry; it is a war between the advocates of US-Korea alliance and free-market democracy vs. proponents of a socialist system aligned with North Korea and China.
PLEASE PRAY FOR SOUTH KOREA! South Korea is currently at a pivotal moment in its political history, grappling with influences that threaten its democratic framework. The country, officially known as the Republic of Korea, stands in stark contrast to its northern counterpart, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea. Despite these names, the political ideologies in both countries are markedly different, with North Korea following Juche, a form of Korean nationalism and self-reliance mixed with totalitarian rule, and South Korea practicing a form of democracy. However, the term 'democracy' itself has become a point of contention within South Korea. The Democratic Party, one of the major political entities in the country, has been criticized for policies that seemingly align more with communist ideologies than democratic ones. This irony is not lost on the populace, especially given the historical context and current geopolitical tensions involving neighboring China's communist regime. The situation escalated during the tenure of President Moon Jae-in, who was accused of harboring Juche sympathies and whose election was marred by allegations of fraud. Since then, concerns have grown that communist influences have permeated various aspects of South Korean society. In response to these critical issues, the current president felt compelled to declare martial law, signaling the severity of the crisis to the nation. Amidst this backdrop, a significant political awakening is unfolding across South Korea. Citizens of all ages are taking to the streets in support of their president, whose approval rating exceeds 52%. Despite this, the mainstream media, which often echoes the perspective of the opposition party, fails to adequately report the scale of public support. The underreporting of these large, vocal demonstrations highlights a profound disconnect between the narratives portrayed in the media and the reality on the ground. This growing divide is more than just a media bias; it represents a critical moment of change where the citizens themselves are becoming increasingly engaged and vocal, advocating for their views and shaping the nation's political future. The movement signifies not only a challenge to the prevailing media narratives but also a robust defense of democratic values in the face of rising authoritarian influences. This dynamic struggle underscores the complexity of maintaining a true democracy in a region fraught with ideological conflicts.

It becomes clear that his martial law is intended to cover his political troubles by sending troops preventing congress’ votes of the law makers. He had many chances to take action in a legal way as a president before declaring martial law. . Although lawmakers have been following and performing their roles and action as what was written in the constitution, what Yoon Suk Yeol had chose was wrong against the south Korea’s democracy. Conflicts between the executive and the legislature have existed in democracy countries. Even though things did not go with the Mr. Yoon’s idea or his way, it is unreasonable and unconstitutioanl to use the martial law to threaten the system and law of democracy. Yoon Suk Yeol has to respect the law and order of South Korea.
Freedom is not free. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" "Stop the steal." Conservatives and progressives in Korea are a little different from those in the United States. While progressives in Korea are friendly to North Korea, China, and Russia and pursue socialism, conservatives are friendly to the United States and Japan and pursue liberal democracy and a free market economy. Some people may also wonder why conservatives wave the American flag. They are usually older people who experienced the Korean War as children. They remember that Korean and American soldiers fought together and believe that the Republic of Korea today was created by Korea and the United States together. Voting should be fair and transparent. In the past few elections, suspicious things have happened. However, the organization in charge of the elections failed to provide accurate and definitive answers. As a result, what can the members of the National Assembly do when the country and government are in chaos? I think the president gave the best answer he could. This is the reality in Korea right now. It prevents us from asking questions about things that cannot be understood with common sense. The reason the president declared martial law was because there was a lot of circumstantial evidence of rigging/fraud in the National Assembly seats currently controlled by the opposition party (ironically, the opposition party is called the Democratic Party). The opposition party is pro-communist (friendly to North Korea/China). Recently, a labor union leader in Korea was convicted of communicating with and carrying out instructions from North Korea, but the opposition party opposed strengthening the Korean spy arrest/prosecution law. Martial law was to eliminate voter fraud and save Korea from communist control. Unfortunately, the media and youth agree with the impeachment controlled by communist funds and populism, but they do not show or see the context. The impeachment statement clearly states that the reason for the impeachment of the Democratic Party is that they do not get along with North Korea, China, and Russia. The forces that oppose getting along with the US and Japan are the Democratic Party, the Innovation Party, and the Progressive Party. It turns out that many Chinese nationals who cannot even speak Korean are protesting in favor of impeachment. Ultimately, it is an ideological struggle against communism. The forces supporting impeachment speak and act against God. They are forces supporting homosexuality. Such words and legislation should not be done. I ask all those who have protected the Republic of Korea to pray for the people of the Republic of Korea who support freedom so that the Republic of Korea can protect its freedom. Thank you.
If President Yoon's calling for martial law is acceptable, then it is acceptable for every president after to invoke and rule by martial law. So what democracy are we talking about in Korea?
In past few elections, suspicious things have happened. Yeah, the egg head of a man Yun was somehow elected as president. That itself is plenty evidence for election corruption.
Korea has historically been influenced by China due to its geopolitical location. today In Korea, the left-right conflict is a conflict between the pro-China forces on the left and the pro-American forces on the right. The left has been growing its power through political correctness, In the April 2024 general election, it manipulated the proportional representation system and became the majority party in the National Assembly. When it became the majority party in the National Assembly, it has impeached right-wing President Yoon Seok-yeol 26 times to stop his power. The targets of impeachment were indiscriminate and Yoon Seok-yeol's direct administrative staff, including the ministers, the Prosecutor General, and the Board of Audit and Inspection. in Korea. On the left, labor unions are the main force and dominate the mainstream media, teachers' organizations, and police organizations. Right-wing citizens have become angry about this situation and are actively participating in anti-leftist demonstrations on the streets. The main forces in the ongoing street demonstrations are anti-China, anti-North Korea, pro-US stagnation forces. They are ordinary citizens who are not organized, like labor unions.
I feel very confused. Even if the ideology is correct, does it mean that his behavior is also correct? Does it mean that as long as a politician is anti-China, anti-North Korea and pro-US, he has the privilege of lawlessness?
The only thing you need to protect is your sanity. Yun's approval ratings were the lowest out of all SK presidents, and this was BEFORE he tried the coup.
The current majority party-the Democratic Party-in the Korean National Assembly demonstrates a strong pursuit of communistic ideologies and policies favoring North Korea and China, raising significant concerns about its commitment to the sovereignty and well-being of South Korea. Leveraging its parliamentary majority, this party has engaged in a series of detrimental, unconstitutional, and irrational actions, including initiating 29 impeachment motions targeting President Yoon, cabinet members, prosecutors, and other key figures vital to the nation's governance and security. The current national situation in South Korea has become disastrous, with emergent dangers prompting President Yoon to declare martial law on December 3, 2024. Rather than serving the collective interests of the Korean people, the Democratic Party has been recklessly manipulating its legislative power to safeguard the political tenure of its leadership, notably Representative Jae-myung Lee, who is currently involved in 12 criminal cases under prosecution. Lee Jae-myung is no longer a politician or a leader but a criminal, as evidenced by his criminal actions throughout his life. Of even greater concern are allegations suggesting that over 50 current legislators out of 180s from the opposition party secured their positions through fraudulent voting in cooperation with the Chinese government. Consequently, President Yoon has clearly stated that martial law was implemented to expose all instances of electoral fraud and the associated criminal activities, including those tied to China and North Korea. Such claims highlight a severe violation of electoral integrity, threatening the democratic foundation of the Republic of Korea. The impeachment of President Yoon would not merely destabilize the current government but could pave the way for South Korea's further subordination to China and North Korea, drawing unsettling parallels to the fate of Hong Kong. It is imperative for the South Korean people to act decisively to uphold democratic values and safeguard national sovereignty against these grave developments. The rampant actions of the Democratic Party in South Korea exemplify the "tyranny of the majority," as warned by Alexis de Tocqueville in *Democracy in America*. The exploitation of majority rule to undermine democratic principles endangers the nation's sovereignty and its people's future. In conclusion, all freedom-loving conservatives in South Korea can no longer overlook or endure the nation's catastrophic situation. Instead, they are rising to nullify the illegal and unconstitutional actions carried out by the Communist-aligned Democratic Party and to restore true freedom and genuine democracy to South Korea. We, the Korean people, must restore true freedom and genuine democracy, rejecting any path that leads to subjugation under North Korea and China. We urgently seek the steadfast support and prayers of our close allies, the United States, others good allies, and their good citizens. We call on them to stand with the freedom-loving, conservative, and faith-driven people of Korea in our fight to uphold liberty and democracy against China and North Korea! President Yoon's approval rating has risen by more than 25% since martial law and is currently at 40%, and will continue to rise due to the public turning away from the misleading media. The people of the Republic of Korea will defend liberal democracy with President Yoon. STOP THE STEAL!
As a Chinese, I am surprised to see Koreans claiming that there is a party controlled by China. What policies does this party propose that are beneficial to China?
You werent crying for majority of the last 30 years when PPP held majority power of the national assembly. You didnt see Moon Jae In try to perform a military coup, simply because he couldnt get his way due to majority power held by the PPP. What Yun did will forever mark him in the history books as a foolish man who tried to by King.
People are exercising their resisting rights against the corrupt enforcement. The Constitution of the Republic of Korea, Article 1 1. The Republic of Korea shall be a democratic republic. 2. The sovereignty of the Republic of Korea resides in the people, and all state authority emanates from the people. 대한민국 헌법 제1조 1항: 대한민국은 민주공화국이다. 2항: 대한민국의 주권은 국민에게 있고, 모든 권력은 국민으로부터 나온다.

(17th Session of the Constituent National Assembly, Statement by Specialist Member Kwon Seung-ryeol)
"The question of whether a president's impeachment is strictly limited to cases of treason or sedition, or whether the president can face criminal prosecution for such acts without impeachment, was conclusively resolved in 1948 during Korea’s constitutional drafting process. This stands in stark contrast to the interpretative resolutions of similar issues under Article 52 of the 1947 Constitution of the Republic of China (see footnotes 46 and 49)."
This record originates from the 1948 Constituent National Assembly’s proceedings during the drafting of Korea’s first Constitution. It addresses the president's term, powers, impeachment, and emergency criminal proceedings. Article 55 of the Constitution at the time (now Article 84:
"The President shall not be subject to criminal prosecution during their term of office except in cases of treason or sedition.")
was not based on judicial precedent or interpretation but was explicitly established as a constitutional principle reflecting sovereign authority.
If we were to compare this to the United States, it would be akin to the constitutional provisions that limit the impeachment of a president to “high crimes and misdemeanors” under Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, with an understanding that the sitting president cannot face ordinary criminal prosecution while in office without impeachment.
With Korea’s 1987 constitutional amendment, the nation shifted from a parliamentary system, where the president was selected by the legislature, to a direct presidential election system akin to the U.S. electoral process. This amendment further strengthened Korea's constitutionalism, similar to the evolution of checks and balances in American democracy. Records from June 23 and June 28 of the 1948 National Assembly firmly established that the president could only be prosecuted for treason or sedition following impeachment and removal from office by a judicial or constitutional body.
And yet, what is the Democratic Party in Korea claiming today?
They argue that the president’s “alignment with the United States and Japan while distancing from Russia and China” constitutes grounds for impeachment!
If this happened in the U.S., would such reasoning equate to treason?
Historical records confirm that requiring impeachment to prosecute a president for treason or sedition was a foundational principle of Korea’s 1948 Constitution. This principle mirrors the American framework where impeachment precedes any criminal prosecution of a sitting president. It has applied equally to all past Korean presidents, including Kim Dae-jung, who, like U.S. presidents, enjoyed immunity from prosecution while in office. The Constituent National Assembly deliberately codified impeachment grounds to acts of treason or sedition, much like the U.S. standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
So, who is truly undermining democracy today?
Is it not the Democratic Party in Korea, disregarding constitutional principles, abusing impeachment powers, and paralyzing the government?
Current State of the Government (Paralyzed by Reckless Impeachment):
Imagine the chaos in the U.S. government if a partisan Congress weaponized impeachment to leave key government positions vacant:
President: Vacant (Emergency Arrest Warrant Issued)
Vice President: Vacant
Cabinet Secretaries: Vacant
Key Federal Agency Heads (DOJ, DHS, DOD): Vacant
This hypothetical situation mirrors what is happening in Korea today. The Democratic Party in Korea, with the apparent support of the Constitutional Court, removed treason charges from the impeachment motion and secured an emergency arrest warrant for the president through a politicized legal process. This is akin to bypassing impeachment to arrest a sitting U.S. president, violating both constitutional norms and the principle of separation of powers.
Severe Violations in Governance and Election Management
Imagine if widespread allegations of voter fraud or electoral mismanagement emerged in the U.S., with evidence such as:
Significant discrepancies between registered voters and votes cast.
Election servers with passwords like “12345.”
Hundreds of confirmed cases of nepotistic hiring within the Federal Election Commission.
This hypothetical aligns with the reality in Korea, where the National Election Commission faces accusations of malpractice, compounded by allegations of North Korean cyberattacks on critical institutions, including the Supreme Court and military servers. Despite clear vulnerabilities, Korea's election commission has denied investigations, similar to what might occur if the Federal Election Commission in the U.S. refused congressional oversight or scrutiny by federal agencies like the FBI or CISA.
Suspicious Election Outcomes and Power Consolidation by the Opposition
The Democratic Party in Korea has secured 192 parliamentary seats through questionable means, allowing them to pass the impeachment motion against the president. To draw a parallel, this would be akin to one U.S. party dominating Congress through gerrymandered districts or satellite parties, then using that majority to impeach a sitting president for purely partisan reasons.
Furthermore, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung faces allegations comparable to illegal campaign financing or collusion with foreign adversaries, yet defends his actions as “political diplomacy.” One of his close allies, Jeong Cheong-rae, reportedly had his U.S. visa denied, which recalls historical examples of individuals barred entry for anti-American activities.
Threats to National Security and Public Order
During the ongoing impeachment hearings in Korea, union members attempted to arrest the president, resulting in violent clashes. Imagine a scenario in the U.S. where private security firms attempt to detain a president during Senate impeachment hearings, leading to police officers being assaulted in the chaos. In Korea, two officers were injured, one of whom was struck on the head with a blunt object. Yet, the media and law enforcement leadership have largely ignored these incidents, reflecting the potential consequences of politically motivated media bias in the U.S.
At the same time, the Democratic Party in Korea is pushing legislation to abolish presidential security, comparable to Congress defunding the Secret Service in the U.S. Such actions threaten not only the presidency but also the broader stability of the nation.
Meanwhile, anti-impeachment rallies are composed of ordinary South Korean citizens, while pro-impeachment demonstrations include individuals with histories of espionage, pro-North Korea and pro-China affiliations, and even Chinese nationals. Some of these protesters use terms like “comrades” instead of “citizens” and carry signs with bizarre slogans such as “Shame on citizens” and “We remove you in the name of comradeship.”
Constitutional Court and Power Imbalance
The Constitutional Court in Korea is designed to mirror the U.S. Supreme Court’s balance, with justices recommended by the president, legislature, and judiciary. However, only one of Korea’s nine current Constitutional Court justices was appointed by President Yoon Suk-yeol, while the remaining eight were appointed by the opposition party’s former president. This imbalance would be like a U.S. Supreme Court stacked with justices from a single political party, undermining the judiciary's neutrality.
Former President Moon Jae-in preemptively appointed multiple Constitutional Court justices just before leaving office, much like a lame-duck U.S. president rushing Supreme Court appointments to block their successor. Notably, during his term, President Moon handed over a USB to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, leading to multiple accusations of treason and aiding the enemy, yet he was never investigated or prosecuted and continues to live free of any repercussions even after leaving office.
This situation constitutes a blatant violation of the Constitution and poses a grave threat to democracy.
The people of South Korea are rallying with President Yoon Suk-yeol to defend freedom and constitutional principles. International attention is urgently needed. Korea’s stability is essential to global peace and could be key to averting another world conflict.

You have no issues with a president who deploys military forces to prevent lawmakers from performing their civic and democratic duties of veto-ing the martial law.
All because he was losing power and influence.
No one is above the law in a true democracy.
국민저항권이 있다.
It needs the right procedure to execute the law, but towards the impeachment, all the procedures are illegal.
Plus the president has the absolute right to declare the martial law if needed, what is the arrest based on, against what???
The president has the the right to call for marrial law, but does he have the right to deploy military forces to prevent Korean lawmakers from their constitutional rights to vote against martial law?
@Kyauk-r2y
@Kyauk-r2y the martial law clearly wasnt needed, it was an abuse of power. Hence the charge of insurrection.
@Kyauk-r2y you brainwashed imbecile.
What about the impeachment process was illegal?
Why would a president who aligns with democratic principles, deploy the military to prevent lawmakers from veto-ing the martial law?
Dude literally strong armed the entire nation, because he can't deal with losing power and his wife would no longer put out if he didn't succumb to her wishes.
ILLEGAL WARRANT
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO; 공수처) obtained a warrant on treason charges (내란죄) despite lacking the legal authority to investigate such charges by law. Accordingly, this warrant is both unlawful and invalid.
Moreover, Korean law explicitly prohibits searches of high-security government facilities, including the presidential residence. Nevertheless, a leftist judge arbitrarily disregarded this explicit legal provision and issued a warrant authorizing the search-an egregious abuse of judicial authority.
Notably, the Seoul Western District Court, which approved this warrant, is heavily dominated by leftist judges. This raises serious concerns, especially since the CIO deliberately sought the warrant from this court rather than the Seoul Central District Court, which has proper jurisdiction over such cases. This clear attempt to exploit judicial bias highlights the alarming extent of judicial impartiality and overreach.
This argument of yours is nonsensical. The politics of South Korea is a big joke! The highest principle of law is "the rule of law"; it means there is always a proper way to challenge the legality of an act. If one can simply defy an arrest warrant by claiming the warrant being illegal, then who will need to comply to an arrest warrant? The court's order will always have no bite. How then can there be a stable political system? President Yoon should first comply with the arrest warrant and fight thelegality issue later and have the judges involved punished. That would be the rule of law.
Furthermore, the arrest warrant did not permit searching the presidential office.
It's amazing to see Yoon's subordinates posting comments justifing Yoon and his martial law very systematically both in Korean and English. 😮😮

Then tell me what is the rule of law in South Korea? Furthermore, what is a military unit doing in the presidential office; a president having his own private army!
@@chanrasjid8688
Are you perhaps unfamiliar with the actual situation in South Korea as a non-Korean? There is no private army involved. Thery are Presidential Security Service, which is a legitimate national agency tasked with protecting the President of Korea. They are performing their official duties. President Yoon still holds the office. His powers are just currently suspended pending the outcome of the proceedings. Do you understand?
Regarding the arrest warrant, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (공수처) lacks the legal authority to pursue the charges for which the arrest warrant was issued. In other words, the warrant is unlawful. Certain judges and officials, aligned with the Democratic Party, seem intent on undermining President Yoon without due legal process, facilitating a potential return to power for Democratic Party leader Jae Myung Lee.
Are you not aware of the following facts about the Democratic Party? Key members of their primary support base, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, were found guilty for having sworn allegiance to North Korea and acting on directives aimed at destabilizing South Korea and inciting anti-U.S. and anti-President Yoon government sentiment. While in power, the Democratic Party stripped the National Intelligence Service's (South Korea’s CIA equivalent) counterintelligence authority, essentially prohibiting spy arrests. Furthermore, the Democratic Party has enacted legislation favoring North Korean and Chinese operatives and used their parliamentary majority to obstruct President Yoon’s administration. This includes cutting funding for President Yoon’s policies to ZERO and initiating 29 impeachment attempts against his government officials in just 2.5 years-an unprecedented number compared to 13 impeachment attempts across the previous FOUR administrations COMBINED.
With the Democratic Party exploiting its majority to paralyze the government and prevent the filling of essential government roles, martial law was declared to protect democracy and ensure stability.
This is not a political rivalry; it is a war between the advocates of US-Korea alliance and free-market democracy vs. proponents of a socialist system aligned with North Korea and China.
South Koreans strongly support President Yoon! He is a brave and dedicated president. He will be back!
Please help President Yoon ~~~
Arrest Lee Jea Myung.
Why no K-pop dancers dancing in protest,???😂😂😂
PLEASE PRAY FOR SOUTH KOREA!
South Korea is currently at a pivotal moment in its political history, grappling with influences that threaten its democratic framework. The country, officially known as the Republic of Korea, stands in stark contrast to its northern counterpart, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea. Despite these names, the political ideologies in both countries are markedly different, with North Korea following Juche, a form of Korean nationalism and self-reliance mixed with totalitarian rule, and South Korea practicing a form of democracy.
However, the term 'democracy' itself has become a point of contention within South Korea. The Democratic Party, one of the major political entities in the country, has been criticized for policies that seemingly align more with communist ideologies than democratic ones. This irony is not lost on the populace, especially given the historical context and current geopolitical tensions involving neighboring China's communist regime.
The situation escalated during the tenure of President Moon Jae-in, who was accused of harboring Juche sympathies and whose election was marred by allegations of fraud. Since then, concerns have grown that communist influences have permeated various aspects of South Korean society. In response to these critical issues, the current president felt compelled to declare martial law, signaling the severity of the crisis to the nation.
Amidst this backdrop, a significant political awakening is unfolding across South Korea. Citizens of all ages are taking to the streets in support of their president, whose approval rating exceeds 52%. Despite this, the mainstream media, which often echoes the perspective of the opposition party, fails to adequately report the scale of public support. The underreporting of these large, vocal demonstrations highlights a profound disconnect between the narratives portrayed in the media and the reality on the ground.
This growing divide is more than just a media bias; it represents a critical moment of change where the citizens themselves are becoming increasingly engaged and vocal, advocating for their views and shaping the nation's political future. The movement signifies not only a challenge to the prevailing media narratives but also a robust defense of democratic values in the face of rising authoritarian influences. This dynamic struggle underscores the complexity of maintaining a true democracy in a region fraught with ideological conflicts.

This imbalance would be like a U.S. Supreme Court stacked with justices from a single political party, undermining the judiciary's neutrality.
Former President Moon Jae-in preemptively appointed multiple Constitutional Court justices just before leaving office, much like a lame-duck U.S. president rushing Supreme Court appointments to block their successor. Notably, during his term, President Moon handed over a USB to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, leading to multiple accusations of treason and aiding the enemy, yet he was never investigated or prosecuted and continues to live free of any repercussions even after leaving office.
This situation constitutes a blatant violation of the Constitution and poses a grave threat to democracy.
The people of South Korea are rallying with President Yoon Suk-yeol to defend freedom and constitutional principles. International attention is urgently needed. Korea’s stability is essential to global peace and could be key to averting another world conflict.
You're a liar.
"And yet, what is the Democratic Party in Korea claiming today?
They argue that the president’s “alignment with the United States and Japan while distancing from Russia and China” constitutes grounds for impeachment!"
This is so far from the truth. He was impeached because he committed treason. He tried to topple the democracy of South Korea by declaring martial law to regain power, to incarcerate any opposition (including the head of his own party) and deployed military personnel to prevent lawmakers from veto-ing the martial law.
Yun will pay for his crimes. All you who support him are no different from those who sided with the Japanese during their oppression of our great nation. You have no sense of pride, nor do you have the ability to think and reason.
Shame on you.
국민은 바보가 아니라서 윤대통령의 결단이 옳은 것임을 알고있는것.
맞는말씀 입니다
Helf my Korea!
The Anti-Yoon interviewer says she wants democracy, but she is protesting with pro-North Korea unions 🤣🤣🤣
North Korea's name is "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" LOL
It's amazing to see Yoon's subordinates posting comments justifing Yoon and his martial law very systematically both in Korean and English. 😮😮
Friends in other democratic world !! please keep vigilant eyes upon Korea and help us with this threat.
@@Dhtdhrtv Fact: 민주노총 leaders were just convicted of spy operations for North Korea. Wonder why you're on that side? K-Democratic Party also blocked all anti-spy laws, which makes Chinese spies legal. Wonder why? Hmmmmm
@@Dhtdhrtv Shut your BOT Ass up. I see this comment everywhere. It's sad. Tell your little bitch of a master Yoon, that his time has come. He will face the justice that he and his plastic wife deserves.
🇰🇵 watching all of this: 🤣😂
It becomes clear that his martial law is intended to cover his political troubles by sending troops preventing congress’ votes of the law makers. He had many chances to take action in a legal way as a president before declaring martial law. . Although lawmakers have been following and performing their roles and action as what was written in the constitution, what Yoon Suk Yeol had chose was wrong against the south Korea’s democracy. Conflicts between the executive and the legislature have existed in democracy countries. Even though things did not go with the Mr. Yoon’s idea or his way, it is unreasonable and unconstitutioanl to use the martial law to threaten the system and law of democracy. Yoon Suk Yeol has to respect the law and order of South Korea.
Wow, finally, a rational comment.
Freedom is not free. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" "Stop the steal."
Conservatives and progressives in Korea are a little different from those in the United States.
While progressives in Korea are friendly to North Korea, China, and Russia and pursue socialism, conservatives are friendly to the United States and Japan and pursue liberal democracy and a free market economy.
Some people may also wonder why conservatives wave the American flag. They are usually older people who experienced the Korean War as children.
They remember that Korean and American soldiers fought together and believe that the Republic of Korea today was created by Korea and the United States together.
Voting should be fair and transparent.
In the past few elections, suspicious things have happened. However, the organization in charge of the elections failed to provide accurate and definitive answers.
As a result, what can the members of the National Assembly do when the country and government are in chaos? I think the president gave the best answer he could.
This is the reality in Korea right now. It prevents us from asking questions about things that cannot be understood with common sense.
The reason the president declared martial law was because there was a lot of circumstantial evidence of rigging/fraud in the National Assembly seats currently controlled by the opposition party (ironically, the opposition party is called the Democratic Party).
The opposition party is pro-communist (friendly to North Korea/China). Recently, a labor union leader in Korea was convicted of communicating with and carrying out instructions from North Korea, but the opposition party opposed strengthening the Korean spy arrest/prosecution law.
Martial law was to eliminate voter fraud and save Korea from communist control. Unfortunately, the media and youth agree with the impeachment controlled by communist funds and populism, but they do not show or see the context.
The impeachment statement clearly states that the reason for the impeachment of the Democratic Party is that they do not get along with North Korea, China, and Russia. The forces that oppose getting along with the US and Japan are the Democratic Party, the Innovation Party, and the Progressive Party.
It turns out that many Chinese nationals who cannot even speak Korean are protesting in favor of impeachment. Ultimately, it is an ideological struggle against communism.
The forces supporting impeachment speak and act against God.
They are forces supporting homosexuality. Such words and legislation should not be done.
I ask all those who have protected the Republic of Korea to pray for the people of the Republic of Korea who support freedom so that the Republic of Korea can protect its freedom.
Thank you.
If President Yoon's calling for martial law is acceptable, then it is acceptable for every president after to invoke and rule by martial law. So what democracy are we talking about in Korea?
Sounds a lot like another version of conspiracy theory, like both parties in the US claiming the other side got help from Russia/China
In past few elections, suspicious things have happened. Yeah, the egg head of a man Yun was somehow elected as president. That itself is plenty evidence for election corruption.
The army ultimately has to step in.

Korea has historically been influenced by China due to its geopolitical location.
today In Korea, the left-right conflict is a conflict between the pro-China forces on the left and the pro-American forces on the right.
The left has been growing its power through political correctness, In the April 2024 general election, it manipulated the proportional representation system and became the majority party in the National Assembly.
When it became the majority party in the National Assembly, it has impeached right-wing President Yoon Seok-yeol 26 times to stop his power.
The targets of impeachment were indiscriminate and Yoon Seok-yeol's direct administrative staff, including the ministers, the Prosecutor General, and the Board of Audit and Inspection.
in Korea.
On the left, labor unions are the main force and dominate the mainstream media, teachers' organizations, and police organizations.
Right-wing citizens have become angry about this situation and are actively participating in anti-leftist demonstrations on the streets.
The main forces in the ongoing street demonstrations are anti-China, anti-North Korea, pro-US stagnation forces. They are ordinary citizens who are not organized, like labor unions.
It's true~~
I feel very confused. Even if the ideology is correct, does it mean that his behavior is also correct? Does it mean that as long as a politician is anti-China, anti-North Korea and pro-US, he has the privilege of lawlessness?
No matter what we have to protect our 윤 대통령. That's the only way to keep the nation of South Korea.
The only thing you need to protect is your sanity. Yun's approval ratings were the lowest out of all SK presidents, and this was BEFORE he tried the coup.
The current majority party-the Democratic Party-in the Korean National Assembly demonstrates a strong pursuit of communistic ideologies and policies favoring North Korea and China, raising significant concerns about its commitment to the sovereignty and well-being of South Korea. Leveraging its parliamentary majority, this party has engaged in a series of detrimental, unconstitutional, and irrational actions, including initiating 29 impeachment motions targeting President Yoon, cabinet members, prosecutors, and other key figures vital to the nation's governance and security. The current national situation in South Korea has become disastrous, with emergent dangers prompting President Yoon to declare martial law on December 3, 2024.
Rather than serving the collective interests of the Korean people, the Democratic Party has been recklessly manipulating its legislative power to safeguard the political tenure of its leadership, notably Representative Jae-myung Lee, who is currently involved in 12 criminal cases under prosecution. Lee Jae-myung is no longer a politician or a leader but a criminal, as evidenced by his criminal actions throughout his life. Of even greater concern are allegations suggesting that over 50 current legislators out of 180s from the opposition party secured their positions through fraudulent voting in cooperation with the Chinese government.
Consequently, President Yoon has clearly stated that martial law was implemented to expose all instances of electoral fraud and the associated criminal activities, including those tied to China and North Korea. Such claims highlight a severe violation of electoral integrity, threatening the democratic foundation of the Republic of Korea. The impeachment of President Yoon would not merely destabilize the current government but could pave the way for South Korea's further subordination to China and North Korea, drawing unsettling parallels to the fate of Hong Kong. It is imperative for the South Korean people to act decisively to uphold democratic values and safeguard national sovereignty against these grave developments.
The rampant actions of the Democratic Party in South Korea exemplify the "tyranny of the majority," as warned by Alexis de Tocqueville in *Democracy in America*. The exploitation of majority rule to undermine democratic principles endangers the nation's sovereignty and its people's future. In conclusion, all freedom-loving conservatives in South Korea can no longer overlook or endure the nation's catastrophic situation. Instead, they are rising to nullify the illegal and unconstitutional actions carried out by the Communist-aligned Democratic Party and to restore true freedom and genuine democracy to South Korea.
We, the Korean people, must restore true freedom and genuine democracy, rejecting any path that leads to subjugation under North Korea and China. We urgently seek the steadfast support and prayers of our close allies, the United States, others good allies, and their good citizens. We call on them to stand with the freedom-loving, conservative, and faith-driven people of Korea in our fight to uphold liberty and democracy against China and North Korea!
President Yoon's approval rating has risen by more than 25% since martial law and is currently at 40%, and will continue to rise due to the public turning away from the misleading media.
The people of the Republic of Korea will defend liberal democracy with President Yoon. STOP THE STEAL!
As a Chinese, I am surprised to see Koreans claiming that there is a party controlled by China. What policies does this party propose that are beneficial to China?
You werent crying for majority of the last 30 years when PPP held majority power of the national assembly.
You didnt see Moon Jae In try to perform a military coup, simply because he couldnt get his way due to majority power held by the PPP.
What Yun did will forever mark him in the history books as a foolish man who tried to by King.
South Korea 🇰🇷 has U.S.A.🇺🇸 largest military base
Ccp out
People are exercising their resisting rights against the corrupt enforcement.
The Constitution of the Republic of Korea, Article 1
1. The Republic of Korea shall be a democratic republic.
2. The sovereignty of the Republic of Korea resides in the people, and all state authority emanates from the people.

Just another day in the US created Banana Republic Neo-colony.
I keep hearing the South Koreans raising their voices on the matter while in other countries, the people's voices are silenced.
Only pro-CCP + MK commies would agree.
The far right old and religious group cotrolled by a powered minister to the young generration in Korea. Here and there same id and same comment. You must know what the mean it is.Who only has money and power can do it.
Hope SK can be free from them.
They have hurt SK for many years.
🤣🤣🤣
Your a communist 😂
Far-right conspiracy theories tend to simplify people's thinking. This mindset leads them to believe that anyone who disagrees with them is being controlled by a country they dislike, and that those who are different from them are traitors to the nation.
Please Save South Korea🇰🇷 🇰🇷 🇰🇷 🇰🇷 🇰🇷. Stop the Steal 🇰🇷 🇰🇷 🇰🇷 🇰🇷 🇰🇷
