ICYMI: 38 North in the news on the #SouthKorea President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law and its immediate overrule by the country's parliament

My colleague @kaitlynking.bsky.social did an amazing profile of Kim Yong-hyun, the defense minister who reportedly advised President Yoon to declare martial law: www.stimson.org/2024/profile...

The Yoon admin has been facing falling approval ratings for a while now, and the legislative election in April--resulting in a landslide victory for the opposition party--set the stage for him as a lame duck www.stimson.org/2024/south-k...

While Yoon previously vowed to fight corruption and improve transparency, his presidency has been marred by abuses of power. Imposing martial law is a serious backslide of democracy in South Korea and follows a trend of a worrying chilling effect in the media since he entered office in 2022.
