Impeachment Chaos: Yoon Suk Yeol's Political Meltdown in South Korea

Well, well, well, if it isn't the latest episode of 'Political Drama: South Korea Edition.' Buckle up, folks, because President Yoon Suk Yeol has thrown the country into a tailspin with his martial law fiasco that’s got everyone from lawmakers to everyday citizens screaming for his head.

Martial Law Madness

Let’s set the scene: Yoon, in a shocking move, decided to flex some serious muscle by invoking martial law. Yeah, you heard that right! This isn't a Game of Thrones episode; this is real life, and it’s spiraled into a political circus that even a jester would find hard to believe. Post-apology, Yoon promised he wouldn’t pull that stunt again, but you know what they say about promises—especially in politics. BBC
