Because its more complicated than him just being a bad guy.
He did a stupid, very bad move, but it was because the CCP-infected, anti-Japan opposition passed a budget that forced his hand, it would have apparently cut all government funding by a ridiculous degree.
That budget cut was 0.7%. I have no sympathy. I will not be surprised when it comes out that this guy is in a cult and his cult leader got their shit cut and this unhinged response was the result.
For better context, here’s what was going on with the budget., including the opposition party stopping aid to Ukraine and fighting investments that would make South Korea less reliant on Chinese semiconductors.
At 0.7 percentage points off a 3.2 point increase it’s absolutely not what Yoon is characterizing it as and Bloomberg is giving Yoon and his ministers space rent free in that article.

The dude tried to arrest key legislators, including from his own party. This was the world’s worst palace coup.
Yup. Absolutely.
The context in which he did those actions is critical though.

Got a source on that? Google isn’t giving me anything useful
Reliable news channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gccPFeMJiE
Text of his actual speech: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/world/asia/president-yoon-speech-martial-law.html Mentioned that their budget cut 4.1 Trillion Won° from things like Disaster Prep and Child Care.

°Google says that is ~3 billion USD, but this Globe and Mail(note: pro-business extremists) says 4 billion.
Is he really a reliable source?
He’s quoting the New York Times there.
Which is quoting Yoon’s speech, which he can say whatever he wants.
I was hoping about some reputable confirmation of what Yoon’s claiming.
Also the guy with that YouTube channel is just having the show for entertainment, his goal is to maximize views, not to be a reputable journalist.
You didnt mention Globe and Mail, which is not quoting him.
