The memes will write themselves...

That's consistent with the vibe I've been feeling. I have no reason to disbelieve those figures.

That has not happened to Yoon. But he has been named one of the suspects in the broader investigation surrounding the martial law declaration.

People might think it's hyperbole, but I would carry my passport or other ID and/or birth certificate at all times. I'd also have an attorney on speed-dial to submit a habeas corpus motion in court ASAP if necessary.

The contractor running the detention centers will have an incentive to detain as many people as possible and bill the government for "services." You could be a drunkard in the park, teenagers hanging out on the street, a hooligan, or dissident, etc.

At some point, your citizenship might not even matter. You could be swept up in a raid and detained. If you are not carrying your passport and birth certificate, the authorities could assume you are not a citizen, and you could disappear for who knows how long.

Hey, no worries. I've had a couple of typos as well, as we've been drinking from a fire hose of info the last few days. 😆

Don't you hate autocorrect sometimes? Choo Mi-ae (추미애), of course, but no biggie.

I know a woman who works for an NGO in Seoul on this issue. They bring adoptees back who are looking for relatives. Ping me if interested and I can put the two of you in touch. I'm sure she would be willing to provide info on their experiences.

2. Those PPP members who refused to vote for impeachment on the 7th must apologize to citizens
3. PPP members should vote for impeachment when the next motion is submitted
4. After passing the impeachment motion, National Assembly members must work with citizens to restore & strengthen democracy

According to South Korean law, a political party can be disbanded if "its activities run counter to the basic order of democracy specified in the Constitution."

I keep telling myself that. "There must be more to this. What secret arrangements have they made or intend to make?"

But I'm not seeing it. Of course, they have superior information, but it looks like serious miscalculation from my vantage point. Time will tell.

I'm not a politician, and certainly not a Korean one, but if I were a PPP member and not complicit with Yoon's martial law declaration, I think it might be a good time to jump ship despite any aversion I might feel for LJM.

I think Han and Han are playing with fire. They are not immune from criminal prosecution, and investigations are already underway, which will entangle co-conspirators. It seems like a desperate choice that almost certainly will fail.
