Crisis to crisis: South Korea’s unpopular president

” YOU CAN SING”!

According to local media reports, Yoon is especially fond of British prime minister Winston Churchill from the time of the war.

As president, Yoon has maintained a strong stance against nuclear-armed North Korea and bolstered relations with Seoul’s standard alliance, the United States.

Last year, he sang Don McLean’s” American Pie” during a visit to the White House, prompting US President Joe Biden to respond:” I had no damn idea you could sing”.

But his efforts to restore relations with South Korea’s past colonial king, Japan, did not sit well with some at home, as the problem remains vulnerable in the country.

Weak Bird

Since the opposition’s majority in parliamentary elections this month, Yoon has been a pathetic bird president. They just slashed Yoon’s resources.

Yoon criticized “anti-state elements plundering people’s freedom and happiness” in his Tuesday evening television speech, and his company has since declared martial law as a means of overcoming the country’s constitutional stranglehold.

However, an analyst said it absurd to justify South Korea’s first martial law enforcement order since 1980 using his social issues as explanation.

“( This ) is typically reserved for situations like war, emergencies or other similar concerns regarding threats to national security”, said Gi-Wook Shin, a professor at Stanford University.

Shin told AFP,” This position will test the strength of Korea’s liberal political institutions and their capacity to combat such activities.”

Additionally, it” sends a wider message to Asian politicians and democracies around the world that political objectives cannot be achieved through for unjust means.”
