Exit polling shows the Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jaemyung being projected to win with a commanding lead at 51% of votes, with the right-wing PP Party candidate sitting at a distressingly high but still decisively losing 39%. I can breathe a little easier, though it ain't over until it's over 🤞🙏 #Korea

I have wanted to write a blog post about Cheonggyecheon for ages but could never find enough really good high rez photos.

South Korea's dazzling success hides a dark reality. It's a society that suffers from relentless pressure for perfection driving a shocking suicide rate and the world's lowest birth rate. It is run by powerful family-owned conglomerates that benefit from the societal issues, maintaining a system that serves their interests by fostering competition and division.
South #Korea acts as chilling warning, revealing the dystopian consequences of late stage #capitalism.

Today in Labor History May 18, 1980: Koreans rose up in Gwangju against the repressive U.S.-supported government. The uprising lasted from May 18 to May 27. According to official reports, 165 civilians were killed and 3,515 were injured in the uprising. 37 soldiers and 4 cops were killed and 253 were injured. Another 14 soldiers died from “friendly” fire. However, Gwangju’s death records for May of 1980 were 2,300 above normal. Many believe the actual death toll from the uprising is closer to 2,000. In addition to the casualties from the uprising, nearly 1,400 people were arrested and 7 were given death sentences. 12 were sentenced to life in prison.
The background for the uprising is complex. However, the country had been living under the 18-year dictatorship of Park Chun-hee, who was assassinated on October 26, 1979. A series of pro-democracy demonstrations developed in the wake of his death. But on December 12, Chun Doo-hwan led a military coup in order to quell the protests. He did not officially take over as “president” until after the Gwangju Uprising. But he was acting as the de facto ruler and the country was still under martial law from the coup.
In March, protests picked up again. People wanted democratization, human rights, minimum wage increases, freedom of the press, and an end to martial law. On May 15, 100,000 people demonstrated at Seoul Station. Chun Doo-hwan responded by extending martial law to the entire nation, closing the universities, banning all political activities and further curtailing the press. Furthermore, he dispatched troops throughout the country to suppress any potential demonstrations.
On May 18, students demonstrated at Chonnam University in defiance of its closing. At first, there were only 30 paratroopers and hundreds of students. They started to clash. By afternoon, at least 2,000 people had joined the protest. The government sent in hundreds of troops. Soldiers started to club demonstrators and onlookers. They attacked with bayonets and raped people, and they beat a deaf man to death. Outraged, the number of protesters swelled to over 10,000. Street battles continued for days, climaxing on May 21, when soldiers fired into a crowd of protesters. In response, citizens took up arms by robbing local armories and police stations, arming themselves with M1 rifles and carbines. By afternoon, there were bloody gunfights between ad hoc civilian militias and the army. By 5:30, the citizens militias had obtained two machine guns and used them, forcing the army to retreat.
The troops retreated to the suburbs to await reinforcements. However, they also blocked all routes and communications leading into and out of the city. Meanwhile, inside of Liberated Gwangju, the Citizens’ Settlement Committee negotiated with the army, demanding the release of arrested citizens, compensation for the victims, and a prohibition of retaliation in exchange for disarming themselves. The army demanded immediate surrender and some in the committee were willing to give it to them. But those who wanted to resist until their demands were met took control of the committee.
On May 27, at 4 am, troops from five divisions moved on the protesters and defeated the civilian militias within 90 minutes.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a fine diplomatic line to walk. In January, his forces captured two North Korean soldiers who were fighting for Russia. He’s in discussions with Russia to exchange the prisoners for two Ukrainian captives. But @timkmak’s Counteroffensive reports that this may lose him the support of South Korea, an important ally since Ukraine was invaded.

Korea's Constitutional Court voted 8-0 in favor of removing Yoon Suk-yeol from office, and much credit goes to young Korean women who led the protests to oust Yoon after his botched martial law declaration.

There are definitely two Koreas—within South Korea.
In one, massive demographic changes outside Seoul are collapsing regional housing construction companies.
In the other, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who never saw a problem he couldn't make worse, has tipped off a speculative real-estate rush by loosening regulations, creating impossibly high housing prices in parts of the city

Goryeo-era Buddha statue, looted by pirates in 1377, returns to #Korea temporarily, after 647 years
« The 50.5-centimeter-tall Buddhist statue that Japanese pirates plundered and took to their country had been one of the two bronze statues that Korean thieves stole back from Kannon Temple on the Japanese island of Tsushima in October 2012. »
This story so needs a #kdrama!

To everyone in #Europe, #Deutschland, #Canada, #Brasil, #Japan, #Korea, and the rest of the world, don't just sit there giving your condolences to us. You have to let the people around you know what is happening here in the #US, you have to show them the video of #ElonMusk doing the #Nazi salute, you have to bear witness, let the people around you know, and get ready to stop them before they take your country too, urge them to leave Twitter, or at least crosspost to here, urge your politicians to ban Twitter, because if it can happen here, it can happen where you are too.
This is not politics, this is not a meme, and this is not a drill: this is your country. The Fascists they are on the move.

📚🖋️ #JohannesGutenberg is commonly perceived as the inventor of #printing, yet, #Asia pioneered printing centuries earlier. From the #DiamondSutra of 868 CE from #China to #Korea's metal movable type predating #Gutenberg's Bible by 80 years, Asia's innovations laid the groundwork for global information exchange. Inspired by a visit to the #GutenbergMuseum in #Mainz, I explored the fascinating history of printing in this article:

Today in Labor History December 12, 1945: The U.S. Army Military Government (USAMG), which occupied and controlled the southern half of the Korean peninsula from 9/8/45-8/15/48, outlawed the People’s Republic of Korea, which was occupied by the USSR. The USAMG banned strikes and opposition movements and starved civilians, leading to a deadly cholera outbreak and exacerbating popular discontent. Less than a year later, the Communist Party organized a General Strike. Deadly repression against the strikers further worsened discontent, leading to the Daegu and Jeju uprisings, in which thousands of workers were slaughtered by Korean forces, directed by U.S. advisors. In Jeju, up to 30,000 people, 10% of the entire population, were executed.

GENERAL STRIKE ANNOUNCED
Trade union confederation announces general strike
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) has announced a general strike in response to Yoon’s declaration of martial law and called for the president to resign, according to Korean media.
“We will go on an indefinite general strike until the Yoon administration steps down,” the union said in a statement.
The union drew a connection to the martial law order and previous efforts by military forces to undermine democracy, which often included attacks on organised labour.
“Martial law was the means chosen by Park Chung-hee, Chun Doo-hwan, and the military dictatorship to destroy democracy and human rights in order to extend their power,” KCTU said

Sapsali , the dog in Korean TV-drama "Alchemy Of Souls " .
"A dog that chases away evil spirits and misfortune".
Sapsali has a rich history going back to Silla , 230 AC.
Kept by aristocrats first, later by commoners.
Appearing in many legends and myths, almost extinct in the 1990 ' s
Saved by Dr. Ha Ji-hongs, who brought it back from the last 8 dogs remaining.
Sapsali is a protected race now.

30,000 union workers for Samsung in Korea are on strike. That’s 24% of its workforce.
They planned on striking for 3 days, but when negotiations were refused the workers said their strike would be indefinite.
Power to the people. ✊🏻💪🏻🔥
