#Seoul

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

A woman lies under the wheels of a bus transporting martial law forces in #seoul #korea

Imagine the level of organization required to:
👀 see the news of martial law at 10:30pm
🤬 decide to go to the national assembly to defend it
✊️have comrades to go with
🇰🇷 already have a banner to bring
💪have the courage and commitment to lie down under a bus
🧠 realise this will be photographed so place the banner where it is visible
📷 clear out of the way for photos

#촛불행동 #CandleLightMovement call protest today (4th dec) 6pm outside front gates of national assembly #seoul #korea

Demand immediate impeachment of insurrectionist #Yoon

#윤석열퇴진 #체포하라

This weeks surprise martial law decree comes on the heels of a widening political fallout from a stock manipulation scandal led by the 1st lady herself.

Prosecutors refused to indict the first lady for her central role in the financial scheme. In response the South Korean Democratic party(which has a majority in the National Assembly) planned to begin impeachment procedures against these prosecutors starting this week.

Soldiers were seen over night descending upon the National Assembly complex and photos have emerged of the heavily armed force occupying it's halls.

Outside crowds of law makers and aids demanded to be let in to conduct the people's business but met stiff resistance for local police.

All major political parties decry this undemocratic move by President Yoon including his own People Power Party.

Today South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared emergency martial law due to "anti-State" actors.

Who are the "anti-State"?

So far his order makes it clear, its any political party not aligned with President Yoon. He's closed down their National Assembly and wants direct control of all political media.

This appears to be a coup, not a legit emergency.

#Seoul’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) provided evidence on Friday of what it said were North Korean troops’ deployments to #Russia before participating in the war in #Ukraine, including a series of satellite images of troop concentration.

NIS said those deployed to Russia consisted of “1,500 North Korean special forces from the areas near #Chongjin, #Hamhung, and #Musudan” of the country.

Vor ein paar Wochen war ich ja in Südkorea und konnte mit der neuen Hochgeschwindigkeits-U-Bahn GTX-A fahren. Mein Bericht mit vielen Fotos ist endlich fertig. Ein tolles System, wenn auch erst ein Anfang. Seoul zeigt aber, wie langfristig man Verkehr planen kann. Jedes Jahr gibt es was Neues im ÖPNV...
