Wrote a piece in with Hye Young You goodauthority.org/news/south-k... Our main points: - massage from South Korean politicians and citizens was clear: no return to military rule. - then, why democratic institutions that should have deterred President’s undemocratic move did not work?

With Yoon Suk Yeol facing impeachment, a new South Korean government could complicate Joe Biden's plan to counter China's rise as a military superpower. www.ft.com/content/6664...

Great podcast on the situation in S Korea with long interview of @jeanhong.bsky.social , really interesting podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

I appeared in wbur radio show (also part of npr podcast) called “On Point” to discuss what happened in South Korea. The show describes the event, background, and the past quite well if you are curious about the bigger picture. @johnskuk.bsky.social was there too! www.npr.org/podcasts/510...

Near 600 and growing number of political scientists calling for the immediate impeachment of South Korean president

Ruling party has the key now. There will be impeachment voting at the National Assembly in 6 hours. Opposition needs 8 more votes to impeach President Yoon.

A detail in this timeline caught my eye: "The DP had raised concerns over reports of informal meetings among Yoon’s high school alumni in military and ministerial positions." Brings to mind a great article by @jeanhong.bsky.social & Joon Nak Choi on social networks in the S.K. democratic transition:

🇰🇷 S. Korea's president invoked martial law—then revoked it just 6 hours later. What caused this unprecedented move? And what’s next for Yoon Suk Yeol? Read @eunajo.bsky.social's piece on @goodauth.bsky.social: goodauthority.org/news/martial... #SouthKorea #Polisky

Our former student and current RA Shengbin Wei, has his first publication, in History of the Family. It studies the interaction between institutional context and household organization in shaping fertility in Liaoning, using the CMGPD-LN. Congrats, Shengbin! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Han Kang’s Nobel Prize speech next week is going to be VERY interesting

What do we know about Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law in South Korea today? 🔽 Here are some facts we have been able to pull together so far, but definitely more to come. Written with @csis.org @victordcha.bsky.social & Seiyeon Ji

Korean kids don't even get a coup day off

This is it. History will mark it as a most dramatic backsliding event.

South Korean military says martial law will remain in place despite parliament’s vote to reject it. Follow our live coverage.

South Korean president just declared emergency martial law and prohibited all political activities as the first order. Last emergency martial law was before my birth under Park Chung-hee regime in 1979. I am speechless and my head is all murky. www.cnn.com/2024/12/03/a...
