I also was very skeptical too. But I think the DP had contingency plans. Their capacity to react so quickly and effectively points to them having thought seriously about how they would react if it happened.

The second issue is a bit obscure, but the constitutional court needs to rule for the president ejected from office, and they need to appoint additional judge(s) for the trial to begin, and the president has to agree to the appointments of judges.

An attack on naval assets or islands in the West Sea like we have seen before could still happen. But what would they gain right now, aside from creating serious discord in SK? And would such discord be worth the risk of a large scale response?

KJU and Kim Yo Jong made a bunch of bellicose statements earlier in the year, with KJU basically threatening war over the West Sea. Yet all they have done is escalate, in a highly limited fashion, in the gray zone with trash balloons.

There was a view articulated by the current government that NK had sold all its excess munitions to Russia and was distracted by natural disasters at home. There is probably some truth to this.
There’s also the fact that it’s got forces in Russia right now as well.
