    Truly the pinnacle of stupidity, his ā€œcoupā€ isn’t even long enough for a future tv series on this… well, we don’t even need a series, the coup’s entirely live-streamed 🤣

    The military look like absolute clowns for supporting this hilariously failed plot.

  4. Apparently from what I heard from a friend who has friends in the SMPA, no one told them about this self-coup at all, they were suddenly called up to just mass mobilize – the superintendents only found out via TV that they had to even mobilize. Considering how many police have actually sent the outgoing presidents of South Korea into the slammers I’m not surprised he didn’t share the plans with the police, but apparently he only told his JCs and Defense Minister.

    Actually terrible planning at a terrible time too, 11pm is still when most people in Seoul are awake (Seoul, especially Gangnam has great nightlife) and the fact they announced it on TV when half the country is probably still awake meant that protests were bound to happen.

    At the same time, police apparently still don’t know why exactly they’re mobilized; the confusion is still present from what I heard, and the response at this point is just “ask the commissioner and president” which is hilarious.

    This was actually terrible planning, if he executed the plans at say 4am who knows the country would actually be in martial law for a whole day or two at minimum.

  5. Did I miss an update? Last I saw the military said they didn’t recognize parliament ending martial law, they said it has to come from the president. So I thought this was still ongoing. Did something change with that?

  6. Wait its already over? I actually feel kind of bad for the president now. Even a cersei lannister style penitent walk would have been less humiliating.

  7. I go out for 5 hours and somehow in that time The South Korean president has enacted martial law, attempted a coup, failed the coup, and then undone the martial law thing… What the fuck???
