“The launch of the KBO [baseball] is political. After slaughtering civilians in Kwangju, Chun Doo-hwan had to find a way to nullify the people’s anger. Music festivals and sports were introduced to divert the public’s attention from politics. Dictatorship effectively used culture to control people.”

Prosecutors indicted Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of leading a rebellion with his short-lived martial law decree—a criminal charge that could incur the death penalty or life imprisonment. Yoon has become South Korea’s first president to be indicted under detention apnews.com/article/sout...

I wrote about the importance of not getting caught up in useless conflicts. Some fights are so big and decisive that they demand our focus and participation. So, choosing what's worth our time and what isn't will make all the difference in these moments. prismreports.org/2025/01/23/f...

I know the media has been using arrest and detain interchangeably but there’s a difference. In Korean, detain and arrest are the same word. When they first apprehended Yoon, investigators only had him for questioning for 48 hours. Now he will essentially be in custody until his trial starts

CIO says they executed the warrant to detain impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to question him over his botched martial law decree

Many have posted that Yoon was detained but that’s not true. New information emerging that his legal team is hoping the CIO doesn’t detain Yoon today and goes in for questioning voluntarily on another day. Big question is how accommodating will the CIO be? And how trustworthy is Yoon and his team?

Yoon Suk Yeol hasn’t been arrested yet… His lawyer are negotiating for Yoon to go in for questioning voluntarily. They don’t want him to be detained because it would show a loss of authority

I’ve covered A LOT of protests in South Korea and I have to say this one feels a bit different. Why? Because for the first time I’m seeing lots of young people expressing their desire to participate but also their fears and anxieties, which is prompting conservations online between the young and old
