For election commission raid/abduction mission "each [soldier] was individually asked their opinion, in addition to what high school they graduated from and where in Korea they were from."
Almost nobody from Jeolla-do was picked. When asked if that was to exclude them (presumably due to loyalty doubts), whistleblower said yes.
Jeolla-do is home to the city of #gwangju, the site of US-backed massacre during previous coup and key point in democratization struggle

Allegations also now swirl that #Yoon intended to put tanks in the streets of #seoul
2nd armoured division commander, DIC chief, defense minister met at 6pm dec 3rd, allegedly with "intentions of mobilizing armored units to neutralize resistance from citizens and the National Assembly following .. martial law declaration"
Defence minister quoted as saying “We need to bulldoze [the national assembly] with tanks.”

Why abduct election commission workers? Simple. An election fraud conspiracy theory.
"Around 30 far-right YouTubers like Lee Bong-kyu and Jun Kwang-hoon — who have made nearly delusional claims about election rigging, as well as actively defending Yoon since the martial law fiasco — and people connected with their channels were invited to the inauguration at the National Assembly on May 10, 2022."

#korea special forces unit had mission to kidnap 30 electoral commission workers and abduct them to a bunker.
Soldiers handpicked, given loyalty tests, jeolla-do/gwangju soldiers excluded
“they received a mission to depart at 5:30 am the next morning and arrive at the National Election Commission by 5:40 am, then to confirm on site the 30 people on the list, apprehend them and bring them over.“

#yoon apparently declared martial law minutes into a cabinet meeting during "one of his signature tantrums"
"[he] proceeded with his live televised declaration of martial law a mere minute after wordlessly leaving a Cabinet meeting."
"The cabinet meeting during which the official declaration of martial law was discussed lasted five minutes, including the time participants were kept waiting."

#korea impeachment of #yoon is set to fail as all PPP members except three (ahn cheol-su who is rich enough to own his own party, kim yeji - best of a bad bunch, kim sang-wook) leave the national assembly
There are not enough assemblymen present to carry the vote. It will be 6 votes short.
The speaker is leading calls for them by name to come back now. the whole assembly is calling out their names one by one.
"Come back and carry out your duties!"

Protest for immediate impeachment and arrest of the idiot #Yoon for insurrection. Today (sat 7th) 2pm yeouido park.
-
The idiot #Yoon now faces criminal charges for insurrection. Under korean law, insurrection is punishable by death penalty. And presidents are specifically not immune.
Prosecutors and police are both investigating.
With a criminal record he will not be eligible for a state burial.
I expect that all "tough on crime" conservatives will be calling for the maximum penalty to be served for its deterrent effect.

#민주당 regional chairwoman for Dobong, Ahn Gwi-Ryeong, 35, tried to wrestle gun from special forces soldier attempting to storm national assembly. "Are you not ashamed?" she cries

As I've reported on here many times before. #NIS has recently been "reformed" by removing their "anti-communist" investigation powers and moving them to the non-secret, regular #police since they'd been caught criminally interfering in domestic elections to support right wing parties
In response, president Yoon has instructed NIS to spy on popular democratic protest movement whose main slogan is "Yoon Suk Yeol resign!" A coincidence, I'm sure.

#korea President #YoonSukYeol vows to focus on attacking workers rights in New Years speech.
We already know about the plans to attack international labour conventions which allow workers the right to organise, and his proposed reforms aimed at increasing worker insecurity, hours, and reducing pay.
But he also vowed to attack the pension and education systems. Not sure what "reforms" he imagines there but it can't be good...

Secret policemen who gave suitcases of cash to another former right-wing president
A rogues gallery.

Yesterday, a delegation from #CandleLightMovement visited the TruckSol (truckers union) camp in front of the National Assembly where they are on the 11th day of their #HungerStrike
Student movement member: "We will fight together so that the workers' struggle will not be lonely!"
TruckSol: "How can I be lonely when you come here like this?"
Solidarity is the key to victory. #YoonSukYeol resignation is not far away!

#korea #seoul #CandleLightMovement marches again. This time on Christmas eve!
#YoonSukYeol administration has interfered in fact-finding about itaewon disaster. An incredibly ugly side of them is being revealed day by day.
"An immoral regime that has given up on being human must face the judgement of the Korean people!"
Assemble at the usual place, exit 7/8 of city hall station (lines 1&2) at 4pm. Wrap up warm! There will be hot soup and warm mats for those who want to sit.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement
President #YoonSukYeol sits on a giant stone throne, a battalion of police officers bear it on their back. From behind buildings in a background people cry 경찰이 없어요! - "There's no police!"
On the night of the #itaewon disaster, local police had been diverted to perform security at the nearby presidential residence. Yongsan-gu police had repeatedly warned the city and seoul metro police that they were understaffed.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement
A woman, dressed in black robes, bends over in a barren dusty landscape to pick something up off the ground and put it in a blue trash bag.
The picture evokes images of a convict doing community service.
The caption says: 도이치 모터스 주식 줍닌 여인 / "a women picks up Deutsch Motors stocks"
First lady #KimGeonHee is said to have profited from a criminal stock price manipulation conspiracy for which Deutsch Motors CEO was prosecuted.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement this one depicts a scene of terrible carnage, ie. #russia criminal war of aggression in #ukraine
President #YoonSukYeol - looking distressed and angry - clenches his fist and says 이게 무슨 장면 이야? "what the hell is this?" (lit. what scene is this?)
#putin - his arm around yoon - says comfortingly 자네 좋아하는 선제 타격 / "your favourite - pre-emptive strike"
In run up to his election, yoon claimed pre-emptive strike is only solution to #DRPK missiles
-
#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement This one depicts an elderly lady, sat cross legged, weeping in front of burned out ruins (from korean wildfires Mar 2022).
She clutches the hand of #YoonSukYeol and, with his head bowed, he promises "I will use the government budget to build a house"
The next pane depicts Yoon smiling and saying "my house."
He has moved the presidential office to former Japanese then US army base in itaewon, the move to the new residence cost $1Bn.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement
This one depicts president #YoonSukYeol leaning over eating from a bowl with a spoon. A korean flag is in the bowl. An open soju bottle with a glass poured out is beside him.The slogan says 나라를 말아먹습니다 / "to squander/use up the nation"
It's kind of a visual metaphor 밥 말아 먹다 means "to mix with rice and eat", like you get the left-over sauce or soup out the bottom of your bowl, you would mix in rice to soak it all up and eat every last bit.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement A sculpture in the back of a truck depicts trump with a ww2 era steel helmet with 5 stars on it. He holds a rock engraved with "I will beat the pants off Biden"
The back of the truck says 아무리들어봐도 나는 바이든이다 / "no matter how much i hear it, i am biden!"
Next to him is Fumio Kishida (PM of japan) holding a rock emblazoned with japanese imperial flag saying "results needed" and "cooperation needed"

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement
A print of a photograph is displayed. It depicts an elderly man (about the right age to be a father of a korean woman in her 20's) clutches a candle tightly with both hands and weeps tears that look burning hot. Behind him stands thousands of protesters also holding candles.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement many artworks depict loss, grief, and rage about the #itaewon disaster and the governments response to it.

#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement A dishevelled president #YoonSukYeol wields a baseball bat with nails in it. He is smashing a thomas the tank engine toy. A speech bubble has him shouting "You motherfuckers, not your freedom, MY freedom!"
Behind him the korean word "자유" or "freedom."
President tried to investigate how high school student won a manga prize by depicting Yoon as a train (it's a pun: Yoon Suk-Yeol-Cha -> Yeol-Cha means "train")
-
#seoul #korea #CandleLightMovement radical artworks were on display in make-shift galleries.
Also spotted was this amusing scribble-board depicting president #YoonSukYeol as a joseon-era king with his robe open. His, um, "organs of state" are covered by a picture of disgraced former president Park Geun-Hye's face.
Most scribbles echo some negative sentiments of national disgrace, lost national pride, or call for him to step down. One is a heart which says "Hyerim is a cutie" :)
