323 sats \ 4 replies \ @south_korea_ln OP 3 Dec \ parent \ on: South Korean president declares emergency martial law news
Rumors, mostly. Don't think any one believed he'd be doing it.
I've not really followed internal politics in last days, so trying to catch up myself.
One theory floating around: declaration of martial law to avoid possible personal impeachment (several other officials already got impeached).
He's hugely unpopular, highly corrupt, and pretty much incompetent. At least, that's the view from fellow academics.

Thanks for the information! This is wild to read and just seemed to have come out of left field to me!

please keep us updated with notable details as you uncover them.
i'm specifically curious to understand more about who the president is aligned with, and what are the stated motivations of his opponents. SK doesn't really make it into the news i read about too frequently, so i'm especially especially fresh on the topic

His opponents are just tired of his nepotism/corruption/enriching himself/etc. I'll write a summary on of these days of all the crap his wife has been doing.
Yoon is conservative party, opponents are the democrats.
The NK infiltration argument sounds like bullshit to me.
