#SouthKorea: RSF is appalled by the physical assault on Lee Myung-joo, journalist for the independent outlet Newstapa, by Kwon Seong-dong, the People Power Party's floor leader. As Myung-joo asked questions, the MP dragged her by her wrist, saying her outlet was "not the media but a tabloid."

The gap between Minjoo and the PPP in polls has been narrowing for two weeks. Did Minjoo's maximalist strategy backfire? I'll wait for Gallup to be sure.

SK public broadcaster KTV allegedly censored martial law coverage and fired a caption writer who refused to remove politicians' statements calling the martial law illegal. The station repeatedly aired pro-government content instead: news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage...

Me yesterday: will Lee, for instance, maintain his legal strategy straight out of Trump’s playbook—dragging out court procedures as long as possible—while simultaneously calling for “swift” proceedings in Yoon’s impeachment?

Lee today:

Yoon's impeachment came faster than expected—but the real test is what Minjoo does next. Why Lee Jae-myung's seemingly conciliatory stance could backfire, and how the unfolding legal battles might reshape Korean politics. My latest analysis: koreakontext.com/yoon-impeach...

A Seoul cafe introduced world's first "Coffee Price-Stock Market Index Linkage System," linking its americano price to KOSPI. You can guess how KOSPI is performing.

Considering Yoon's brazen statement and Han's response this morning, now it's more likely that Minjoo's reprise impeachment bill will carry in the main chamber. However, this is going to be a long fight, for which Yoon's braced himself as his words show.

Han flips again, calling his party lawmakers for cast a vote to Yoon’s impeachment bill.
