Detention warrant issued for Yoon over martial law, 1st issuance for sitting president A Seoul court on Tuesday issued a warrant to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his botched martial law imposition, making him the first sitting South Korean president to face arrest.

m.koreatimes.co.kr/pages/articl... pursuit of justice is admirable, but frequent impeachments and imprisonments of presidents risk undermining progress. Leaders should focus on uniting the nation and shaping the future, not settling past scores. Let’s prioritize collaboration over revenge.

179 killed in Muan airport plane crash, 2 rescued A total of 179 people were killed in a Jeju Air plane crash at Muan International Airport in Muan, South Jeolla Province, Sunday.

m.koreatimes.co.kr/pages/articl... 2024 has tested Korea, political strife, two impeachments, and a tragic plane crash in South Jeollanam-do. Yet this land grieves as one, celebrates as one. After 15 years here, I know Korea’s spirit endures. In 2025, it will rise stronger, united, and shining.

탄핵은 적절한 상황에서 단순한 정치적 행위가 아니라, 기능하는 민주주의의 깊은 시현입니다. 정당한 탄핵을 지지하는 것은 국내외에 강력한 메시지를 전달합니다. 한국은 정치적 편의보다 책임, 정의, 법치주의를 우선시하는 나라라는 점을 보여주는 것입니다.

통치는 정당성이 핵심입니다. 정당성을 잃으면, 우리는 잘못을 바로잡지 못하는 국가로 보일 위험에 처하게 됩니다. 최고 권력층의 부정행위를 방치하는 것은 한국의 민주주의 원칙에 대한 헌신을 의심받게 하고, 국가적 명성을 훼손합니다.

I take comfort in knowing you and your voice are out there speaking the truth. Thank you

Yoon’s presidency is effectively over. When an ultra-right leader drops 20% one desperate move left: he’s made it, and sealed his fate, a slow-motion collapse, one that threatens to take the entire country. Signs are clear—plummeting currency values and jittery futures markets speak volumes.

윤 대통령의 임기는 사실상 끝났습니다. 극우 성향의 지도자가 지지율 20% 이하로 떨어지면, 정치적 선택지는 단 하나뿐입니다. 그는 그 선택을 했고, 그로 인해 자신의 정치적 운명을 결정지었습니다. 이제 그의 정부는 느린 속도로 무너지고 있으며, 나라 전체를 함께 끌고 갈 위험마저 안고 있습니다. 이미 경고 신호는 분명합니다. 급락하는 환율과 불안한 선물 시장이 이를 잘 보여주고 있습니다. 그를 뽑은 유권자들께 한 말씀 드립니다. 이 참혹한 결과를 똑똑히 보십시오. 이건 여러분의 선택이 낳은 결과입니다.
