Episode 2 of of my new podcast Korean Politics Debrief is now available! It was a really interesting conversation with @benjaminaengel trying to better understand Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law crisis in the wider context of modern Korean history. youtu.be/Qq0tSlc3-n8?si…

My comments are limited, but I hope my perspective of defining this as a self-coup brings understanding about the seriousness of the situation and not belittle Yoon’s egregious actions on December 3-4. Thanks so much for reaching out @akuhnNPRnews npr.org/2024/12/04/nx-…
My views of the last 24 hours in Seoul are all elsewhere if anyone is curious.
