To put into perspective: South Korea declared Martial Law during the end of 2024 which was short lived as their citizens were awake, not asleep (since a similar thing occurred in 1980 that lasted until 1987) it only ceased when a new president was elected, so they know what their parents have been through back then not letting it slide in modern times which was met with stiff resistance & protest from Gen Z Koreans.

Their president was impeached right after he enacted it as he’s abusing his power via blocking legislators by using both law enforcement and the military averting them from entering their national assembly, including him ordering the arrest of both the judges and supreme court justices whilst illegally declaring martial law (all in which violate their constitution). People there protested against martial law.

    There is a cult of personality around him that others cant seem to replicate though. I wouldn’t be surprised if that left some of his zealots politically rudderless. That being said someone who doesn’t talk like a dipshit might re-attract the more moderate Republicans even if all the decision making is consistent
