Quote from Minju party leader Park Chan-dae’s speech today, which referenced Han Kang’s Nobel Prize win:
“She asked, “Can the past help the present? Can the dead save the living?”
Experiencing the insurrection, I want to say “yes.” Because Gwangju 1980 protected us in December 2024.”

South Korea now enters a prolonged period of uncertainty. The constitutional court must decide whether to uphold the impeachment. But either way, it's a historic night. Yoon immediately hands over power to the prime minister, who becomes caretaker president.

In the woman’s restroom near the protests many women have left snacks, masks, and sanitary pads to help others. Protests in Korea since the authoritarian era have been very communal events. Some who cannot make it to the protest have been paying for coffee and hot packs for hands
여자는 여자를 돕는다. 이런 집회 나오면 절실히 느낌. 지하철역 화장실에 가득한 나눔 물품. 생리대며 간식이며 마스크등등. 젊은 나이대들이 이런 물품 나누기 적극적. 좋은 소식있기를.

Tens of thousands of protesters go silent as a giant screen shows speaker of the National Assembly read the full martial law decree that Yoon issued last week. It’s eerily quiet as the decree echoes on loudspeakers outside the National Assembly, where lawmakers voted it down.

Yoon's impeachment proceeding to begin at 4pm local today. If it passes, it goes to the Constitutional Court, which must decide within 180 days whether to support or reject it. (The court plays the role of the U.S. Senate in the American presidential impeachment process.)

In the past week since martial law, critics of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol have been sending white funeral wreaths to the HQ of his conservative People Power Party, a sign of protest. The pink support wreaths arriving now at his presidential office are a counter protest to those wreaths.

Incredible: Outside the South Korean presidential office in Yongsan, there’s about a half-mile row of wreaths sent by his supporters as he faces a likely successful impeachment vote tomorrow. It goes on and on and on and on, on both sides of the road. (Quick thread on wreath culture in Korea)

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will watch today's impeachment proceedings from his residence. Impeachment looks to be quite likely; at least 7 members of his own party support it publicly (only 8 defections needed). There are more who privately support it.
