I've been celebrating for them here in TX. I followed the whole marshal law situation minute by minute when it happened. This is a huge win for the South Korean people

Edit: : marshal situation law changed to marshal law situation. Not sure what happened there

  • Dude thinks he might get impeached
  • Declare martial law to keep power
  • Military doesn’t even know he did this so he had barely any support
  • Got shut down pretty quickly and now have another thing pile on for impeachment

I didnt follow as closely but this is the gist of it. If you want more details hopefully someone who understands it better can give it or you can google for a more formal report.
