Self Interest is the Only Altruism. These wont want to step down for self interest reasons. A new ruling party has the power to question him and audit him until nothing is left. So of course he will fight till the end

What’s the complication? US military go in and will be all sorted in 24hours. Okinawa is a perfect example, where you got your us military base. UR FKD. Simple but what’s so hard to understand?

Politics is about the rule of law. Power often becomes obsessed with seizing control through all sorts of agitation. However, politics should prioritize the well-being of the people and eliminate harmful laws that can destabilize the nation. For the past 20 years, South Korea has faced allegations of election manipulation, which undermines the essence of democracy. Despite raising issues about problematic ballots and the need for reform, these concerns were ignored, and the ruling party’s leader ridiculed them. Why did people turn a blind eye despite seeing the truth? It is suspected that these forces have ulterior motives and are complicit in illegal activities for personal gain.

.After the Korean War, a certain hero said there would be no blossoming hope in Korea. Yet, upon returning to Korea 70 years later, they shed tears and expressed gratitude to God.
As someone who has personally witnessed events like the infiltration of North Korean spy ships, hijackings, and armed guerilla incursions, I am writing this appeal. I urge the world to support South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol during this crisis, as South Korea is now under the control of communist forces across all sectors. Thank you.

이 남자가 저지른 잔혹 행위는 믿을 수 없다. 윤과 그의 국방부 장관이 공모한 것은 계엄령에 따라 군사재판에 회부되어 그에게 자신의 약을 맛보게 해야 한다.
