What is happening with IU ???

  • Consider what is happening across the world, wars, markets melting, natural disasters, political upheaval etc.,

    Then you will get a sense of proportion, that whatever is happening in S.K is not that big a deal, though being to K-pop/k-drama makes folks more emotionally invested. Most of it is just news cycles, constantly digging up things for eyeballs.


    The actual substance of all cases, passing through the courts, tend to be far less sensational, but they take time.


    So enjoy the good, mostly ignore or at least delay reacting to the negative - very little of the negativity actually have substance.

  • President Yoons impeachment final verdict was only announced yesterday (asshole lost, yay), which was a big deal for Koreans on both sides of the political spectrum. It was also a verdict that will impact every South Korean in some way and had the potential to really kick off some civil unrest.


    In this climate, I can kind of understand why many South Koreans are a bit more on edge than usual and that is leaking outside of just political debate..



    Hell, in Australia we are a month away from potentially electing Temu Trump, and that thought has me on edge and feeling more scrappy and fighty than usual.



  • Even with the Yoon affair, SK still has far less turbulence than many countries in the world.

    Edited once, last by bbgc ().

  • If it makes you happier, they ate a giant shit sandwich today when the court upheld Yoons impeachment, which means he is GONE and the country must have an election within 60 days.


    It was beautiful watching live streams as the verdict was read and pro-Yoon people started crying and blubbering.

    Thank you.

    Yes, I saw some of that and it was glorious.


    Also, I saw some Koreans being ashamed of it, but I think it speaks very highly of South Korea's democracy and democracy loving people that they stopped him.
