2. Erosion of democracy: President Yoon Suk-yeol's inclination toward authoritarianism is not a recent development. In the past, he criticized a journalist's question as "disrespectful" and pushed forward controversial policies, exacerbating social conflict.
The deployment of military forces in the National Assembly today risked escalating into a violent clash. It remains unclear whether Yoon and his aides thoroughly assessed these risks.
It's important to remember that he is the president who secured 48.56% of the vote in the latest presidential election. This underscores the ongoing trends of rising authoritarianism and growing populism. Democracy is a historical legacy achieved through the power of the people.
