I was living in Korea while that was happening.

The atmosphere in Korea during that time was tense, and by “during that time” I mean nearly the entire two years I spent living there. Best part of it all though is that the President was eventually impeached and thrown in prison as a result of the corruption behind this whole thing. When the judge passed the sentence they used “Banmal” at the President, which is essentially only used when you are extremely familiar with someone of equal station… or when you want to be particularly rude.

The current president of South Korea is also a fucking disaster, and I’m not 100% confident he’ll survive his 5 year term alive. He hasn’t even made it a year without pissing off most of the country.

Here’s a short award-winning doc about it https://youtu.be/Mrgpv-JgH9M

Really showcases the absolute cruelty of bureaucracy
