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

the capricious nature of funding for these groups in the ROK (ie always ever just 5 years away from having funding cut) is exactly why this US support is so important...

Nice to be back attending events for 2025, with an excellent @lowyinstitute.bsky.social panel at the State Library of Victoria.

Why are key DC think tanks being so restrained about Yoon's martial law declaration?

Despite championing "freedom" 39 times in a recent speech, Yoon's decision marked a disturbing trend.

But the response from key players has been strikingly muted.

Wrote this last night in the heat of the situation... two hours later, Yoon u-turned and backed down on his martial law gambit.

Some updates on what this means via 🧡 form...

Things already starting to move in response to Yoon's failed martial law attempt:

The KCTU, one of South Korea's biggest unions, has declared an β€œindefinite general strike” until Yoon resigns.

They also plan a major rally in downtown Seoul early Wednesday.
