Loving these daily Yonhap stories every morning: "President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment ruling could be this week, observers say. If not this week, then ruling likely to be sometime in the future, though it could still be this week. It should have been last week, according to what we all thought"

It seems I've also been placed on leave, just like the rest of my VOA colleagues.

Truth is, I can't know for sure, because when I woke up this morning in Seoul, I'd already been locked out of all VOA-related systems and accounts.
My colleagues and our broadcasts, devoted to telling America’s story to the world — honestly, fairly and with an unwavering commitment to the truth​, are being silenced this weekend. open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/...

The South Korean people want to extend the rule of the party that supports the president who attempted to impose martial law.

In case people have forgotten, I would like to remind everyone exactly what that martial entailed.

Yoon’s arrest triggered unrest at a Seoul court, where his supporters destroyed doors and windows, using chairs and police shields they wrestled away from officers. Some got inside the building and were seen throwing objects and using fire extinguishers. Dozens arrested.

I look at why the Biden admin seemed to overlook obvious red flags about Yoon, how Trump may handle the relationship, and whether things can return to normal anytime soon.

After Yoon today evaded arrest, his office announced it is filing criminal complaints against broadcasters MBC, SBS, JTBC, and a YouTuber for filming and broadcasting footage of Yoon's presidential compound. This "posed a threat to national security" and "disrupted social order," it says.

I'm still being kept quite far away from the main entrance of Yoon's residence, seen below. I have seen multiple cars enter and exit but it's not clear who was in them. Probably 150 police buses around here now, effectively cordoning off the entire neighborhood.
