Incredible scene in Seoul tonight as President Yoon Suk Yeol’s supporters are storming the Seoul courthouse in response to his arrest. They are smashing the windows and vandalising the offices.

If we are honest, we are a failed nation. We are where Russia was during the Yeltsin time. I hope we can turn it around.
