This is a remarkable political statement from IU. In fact, it's almost unprecedented - K-pop stars almost never make explicit political stances, given the industry's strict control over artists' public images and positions.
IU announces she’s providing food and hot packs for protestors, available to fans (Uaena) and nonfans alike.

I hope you're wrong, but reading history to escape the present, I can't help but feel people were, are and will be the same, gullible and manipulated in familiar ways

Questions about the Military brass who went through with legally sketchy martial law but also, the soldiers did not go violent, at least, faced with some resistance from politicians and protesters - and Yoon's closest thugs in government seem to resign en masse.

Some say the failure suggests SK's democracy is strong, I hope that's true. What's also clear is Koreans have no nostalgia for military strong-arming citizens - on the contrary those wounds have not healed,and the population is comfortable with taking the streets, protesting, and throwing presidents

Courting angry young men and blaming general woes on everyone else Yoon won a narrow victory -turned-unpopular presidency - this move was predicted by opposition party earlier this year but dismissed - seems extreme and foolish and he may even lose support of most of his young male bigoted fans.

Though outside sourcing is as present as ever the biggest song in Korea this year, Supernova, is in house SM in sound and in the person of producer Kenzie, familiar from early BoA, SNSD debut ITNW etc

(Mat here) My exposure also derives from general kpop interest- but 1st instinct is to add some Soundcloud/mumble rap: Yuzion, Effie, Lil Cherry, Swervy - and maybe some hiphop talent show contestants (from v mainstream Lee Young Ji -> less mainstream Since, Mirani) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK09...
