South Korea changes overnight, 10 key issues

Unexpectedly, South Korea changed overnight and President Yoon Seok yeol lifted the table.
On the night of December 3rd, he suddenly declared emergency martial law in South Korea.
A friend asked: What is the concept of martial law?
That is a major matter involving the foundation of the country. It’s about using knives and guns to arrest and kill people. You should know that the last time South Korea imposed martial law was over 40 years ago.
Subsequently, the South Korean military took to the streets and Seoul citizens protested, shocking countries around the world. But in the latter half of the night, news came from the South Korean parliament that martial law had been overturned.
Everything was thrilling, and Korea had a sleepless night.
Completely personal opinion, let’s talk about 10 key questions.
Question one, what is the trigger?
Yoon Seok yeol accused that the emergency martial law was a “last resort” for the sustainable development of the Republic of Korea. He wanted to eradicate the “northern forces” and maintain the “free constitutional order”.
In other words, the opposition party is being aggressive, and he cannot continue as president. He must fight a decisive battle!
But aside from these words, a factor that cannot be ignored is that Yin Xiyue turned red with anger.
The trigger was the bribery case of his wife Jin Jianxi. Jin Jianxi accepted the Dior bag, which the opposition party held tightly, and it cannot be ruled out that Jin Jianxi will eventually be imprisoned. Yin Xiyue could no longer bear it and declared martial law directly.
For the sake of the woman I love, I declare myself enemies with the whole world
Don’t think that this kind of theme only plays out in novels and on the screen.

Question 2: How is martial law enforced in South Korea?
South Korean Army General Park An soo has been appointed as the martial law commander. The Martial Law Command quickly issued the first martial law order: martial law will be enforced from 23:00 local time on the 3rd (22:00 Beijing time on the 3rd).
Article 1 of the Martial Law: Activities of the National Assembly and local councils, as well as political party activities, political associations, rallies, demonstrations, and all other political activities are prohibited.
what is it?
It’s actually similar to a coup.
It’s really surprising that the president personally launched a coup.
More importantly, on one side are the president and military leaders, while on the other side are the opposition and ruling parties.
If the ruling party doesn’t stand on the side of the president, things will spiral out of control.

Question 3: What do South Korean people think?
Shocked, shocked, still shocked.
The internal strife in South Korea is very intense, as the whole world knows, but it is still unbelievable to see it so intense that the commander-in-chief imposed emergency martial law.
The leader of the opposition party, Lee Jae myung, said during a live broadcast, “Martial law is not a defense of the constitution, but a fatal blow to democracy
A large number of people disregarded martial law and braved the severe cold to protest and prevent the military from entering the parliament.

Question four, what about the South Korean military?
According to the general martial law, it would definitely be the deployment of troops, with live ammunition and even loud gunshots.
But South Korea is under martial law, and the military is very slippery.
The military order had to be executed, so special forces were also deployed; But if the law enforcement is too lax and even bloody incidents occur, it will be 100% cleared in the future.
So, we can see that Yoon Seok yeol is very anxious, but the military is very relaxed. In fact, they are releasing water, and a large number of lawmakers have still entered the parliament. The opposition party leader Lee Jae myung, while live streaming, calmly climbed over the wall and entered the parliament.
Very dramatic.

Question 5: How do the United States and the world view it?
The attitude of the United States is crucial.
The United States has stated that it is closely monitoring the situation. US Deputy Secretary of State Campbell further commented, “We are full of hope that any political disputes can be peacefully resolved in accordance with the rule of law
Looking at international reactions, there is almost one-sided shock, condemnation, or calls for restraint, demanding dialogue to solve problems.
This one-sided approach has exacerbated the isolation of the Yin Xiyue government.

Question 6: What will the South Korean National Assembly do?
The National Assembly is a key force in South Korean politics.
Despite being obstructed, 190 members of parliament successfully entered the parliament, exceeding the required half of the parliament. The voting result was 190:0, lifting martial law.
At this moment, the opposition and ruling parties, who had fought fiercely in the past, put aside their past grievances, shook hands and made peace, unanimously recognizing that the martial law order of Yin Xiyue was invalid.
Due to the betrayal and separation of the people, Yin Xiyue lost completely.
On the early morning of the 4th, he had to announce the withdrawal of the martial law troops and the lifting of the martial law order.

Question seven, were there any warning signs before?
Actually, there are also some.
As early as September this year, the opposition party disclosed that Yoon Seok yeol was likely to be under martial law.
But this was considered completely bizarre, and at the time, the Chosun Ilbo commented that anyone with some common sense believed it was nonsense. If the government imposed martial law, no one in the military would comply, and the government should collapse almost simultaneously. Which government would engage in such self harming behavior?
Sorry, the President of South Korea will.

Question 8, what will happen to Yin Xiyue?
Now is his most dangerous moment. He either resigns voluntarily and bows down to step down; Either impeached or expelled from the presidential palace; Either learn from Roh Moo hyun, close your eyes and bid farewell to life.
As long as you are still alive, things are not over. In the end, he will definitely be imprisoned.
All kinds of scandals in the past must be thoroughly investigated now; The current emergency martial law will be fully liquidated.
Before becoming president, Yin Xiyue, as the prosecutor general, investigated others; Now, the new prosecutor is investigating him, and also investigating his entire family.
The price of impulsiveness.

Question nine, how do you view the Blue House Curse?
The world knows that the most dangerous profession in South Korea is being the president.
In any case, except for Moon Jae-in, none of the successive South Korean presidents has ever died a good death, imprisoned in prison, exiled in exile, or committed suicide, which is known as the “Blue House Charm”.
So, after becoming the President of South Korea, Yoon Seok yeol firmly refused to stay in the Blue House and forcibly took over the original Ministry of National Defense and converted it into the Presidential Palace.
The Blue House has been changed, but the curse has not been broken.
Moreover, Yin Xiyue’s fate may be even more tragic. Ah, if I had known this, what kind of South Korean president would I have been!

Question 10: What will happen to the relationship between China and South Korea?
This is South Korea’s internal affairs and has little impact on China South Korea relations. Let’s just watch the show.
However, after Yin Xiyue took office, she became tough on the North, flattered Japan, and followed the United States step by step. The previously good relationship between China and South Korea fell to the bottom for a while.
Who knew that he would end up in such a situation after all the fuss.
You see him building tall buildings, you see him entertaining guests, you see his buildings collapse.
People are doing it, heaven is watching!
Finally, let me say a few words of emotion. This is a historic night for South Korea. We have seen the anger of the Crown Prince turning into a red face, the live broadcast of crossing the wall into the National Assembly, the opposition of the ruling and opposition parties to the president, the helpless flowers falling, and probably the Commander in Chief being shackled and imprisoned
From the president issuing martial law to its repeal by Congress, it took less than three hours.
But the fate of many people is completely changed.
No wonder Korean dramas are very exciting, because the reality in Korea is even more exciting!
Yin Xiyue, Yin Xiyue.
