Former president Yoon, "sentenced to life"
It is hard to believe that Trump approval rate still stays at 37%. How the fuck they still approve him?

For more context in case anyone is interesred
Yes we have, but we haven't executed anyone for decades
Long time no see, folks.
Prosecutors have just demanded death penalty to the former president of ROK, Yoon, who had been charged with "insurrection" after his failed self-coup attempt.
Sweet.
Writing a manuscript be like
> staring at the monitor (10 min)
> think something actually useful (1 min)
> write shitty sentences (30 sec)
> revise the rubbish you created (5 min)
> doomscrolling (30 min)
> cry (3 min)
> repeat
Writing the manuscript is clearly a kind of torture I guess
I saw this too late ๐ญ

since our domestic situation is literally fucked up.
I hope this thread provide you some details you wanted.
This may introduce such bias to the foreign media that "Next president of SK is pro-russian."
But it is not true.
More specifically, opposition leader (and the most probable next president), has not talked about the situation in ukraine recently,
Yoon's approval rate was under 30%. They politically-utilized DPRK's troop sending to Kursk. Yoon was NOT for the justice and righteousness. Emphasizing the DPRK's involvement in the war - was only the political choice.
Opposition leader criticizes the incumbent.
Conservatives in South Korea has been using South-North conflict upon the political crisis: which is the easiest way to unify conservative supporters.
Previous president Yoon politically took advantage of war in Ukraine to overcome his political crisis.
What Lee criticized is "openly mentioning" the artillery shells that we roundabout-supported.
This does not make Lee pro-russian.
I cannot agree with you about the "pro-russian and populist" part.
I don't know how foreign media illustrate him, but it is not true.
Still, ~40% voted for the far right party and supported the martial law declaration.
Moreover, young men's (20s-30s) tilt toward the right wing (25% vs 75%, pro-D. vs far-right) is a big problem, compared to young women (58% vs 23%, pro-D. vs far-right).
I wrote "pro-democracy" for the democratic party, since everyone who is against the martial law and autocracy became one team. Liberals, center-conservatives, left wing became one team to protect the democracy at any costs.
YES, we will won.
exit poll result:
democratic party (pro-democracy): 51,7%
PPP (far-right): 39,3%
No power sits above the people. All power comes from the people.
This is our constitution.
It has been a long long 6 months.
Personally, I was exhausted due to my PhD course (the third year) and protests.
Although we did not bleed to protect the democracy, we had to pay so much things - which can't be compensated...
AND now we step toward the future this night.
The president - who has denied the democracy (this is the word from the constitutional court) - has been impeached.
We all hope the new president, who can lead this country properly, and listen to the citizens whether they gave votes to him or not.
Today is the D-day.
Half a year passed after the un-constitutional martial law declaration.
I remember myself panick-posting the real-time news on this platform.
4 hours later, the election will be finished, and we will start counting the votes.
That choice would be very costly
Poland's 2025 presidential election result reminds me 2022 presidential election result of South Korea.
I hope Poles did better choice than my country.

I hate SUMMER
That textbook contains TONS of errors ๐ฅบ
I think so.
I have also felt similarly - Chinese grammar is relatively simple (even for me). AND - it was relatively easy for me to learn Japanese (as a native Korean).
The problem of learning Korean is about the details - the slightly different nuances of slightly different phrases ๐
We have quite different grammar system ๐ฅบ
As a native Korean, learning languages spoken in Europe causes a lot of headache ๐
noooooooooo
