Zuid-Korea

Yoon heeft in Zuid-Korea zijn afzetting overleefd omdat sommige parlementsleden zich van stemming hebben onthoudem en er net geen meerderheid voor zijn afzetting was. Hij is echter nu zelf afgetreden om verder gezichtsverlies te voorkomen.

South Korea’s political turmoil, triggered by a short-lived martial law, is sending shockwaves through the country’s economy. The country’s national currency, won, has plunged to its lowest level against the dollar since 2009. According to the Bank of Korea, business and consumer confidence in the country’s economy have also plummeted, hitting the biggest drop since the outbreak of the Covid pandemic. The political upheaval began after President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered a martial law in early December. The decree only lasted six hours but its fallout resulted in Yoon’s impeachment. The ripple effect of the abortive martial law didn’t stop even after Yoon was impeached. On Friday, South Korea’s parliament voted for the impeachment of Yoon’s successor, acting President Han Duck-soo.

Hating gays could flip Korean election.

Realistically the South Korean presidential election is between
Kim Moon-soo (Yoon's party)
Lee Jae-myung (the only real opposition.)

One would think after impeaching Yoon and many of his officers that Lee had it in the bag. Indeed he had, until he made a crucial mistake.

He came out as OK with homosexuality. Koreans think this is deeply immoral. His landslide lead is disappearing and right now it's 50/50 as I write this and Kim is dominating in Seoul.

In Korea, it's the small but vocal Christian minority that advocates homosexuality. Opposite of what you might think. But it's the most like Western culture and the pro gay stuff is from the West. Every Asian nation besides Taiwan outlaws homosexual marraige. They have strict uniforms for boys and girls in school based on biological reality.

Lee could lose against the most unpopular leader since Japanese occupation because he catered to queers.

I don't like either one but it's best that Kim wins just for the w in the culture war.
