Martial Law Has Ended in South Korea

South Korea’s legislative body voted to lift the martial law order, condemning the decision. The leader of President Yoon’s party also criticized the declaration. There was mayhem outside the National Assembly building, where some soldiers deployed were seen leaving, sparking some to suggest that this drama was over. And now it is–the emergency order only lasted five hours.
On the domestic front, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions called for an indefinite strike until President Yoon resigned. The chief spokesman of the opposition Democratic Party of Korea, Jo Seoung-lae, also confirmed that military forces sent to the National Assembly tried to arrest the governing body's leaders earlier this morning.
President Yoon will likely face calls to step down.

The People Power Party (PPP), which Yoon is a member of, most closely aligns with U.S. conservative values:
"The PPP advocates for free-market policies, deregulation, and a reduction in government intervention in the economy, aligning with principles of smaller government."
The PPP's adversary is the Democratic Party of Korea which is left of center and aligns with North Korea. So a nice heavy dose of socialism. More extreme than the Democrats.
Yoon is probably trying to prevent a coup and it looks like it failed.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

Why would anyone with a brain, living in South Korea be a fan and desire life to be like North Korea?
Even people who want Socialism and Communism here would say they don't want it to be like North Korea."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!
