Background
President Yoon Suk-Yeol warned of North Korean supporters
in the opposition in his statement announcing and justifying
th
martial law on December 4 2024.
He is right. !ere is a sizable chunk of South Korea’s Democratic
Party (DP) and leftist political world that is openly pro-North
Korea and also pro-China. In addition they are anti-American.
South Korean leftists have long wanted a one-party state that
they control. !ey have sought to dominate the levers of power
beyond the government – to include labor unions, academia,
media, the judiciary, among others.
But the main target has been the government, and in particular
the National Assembly. Unlike in the United States, where a
president has considerable power even if the opposition holds
both houses, in the South Korean system the National Assembly
can make life nearly impossible for a president. Given its power
vis-à-vis the executive branch, the National Assembly is arguably
a more attractive target than even the presidency in South Korea.
Over the past several years, the Democratic Party (DP) has
allegedly been manipulating the electoral system to obtain power
and establish a one-party state. A key part of the strategy has
been taking dominant control of the National Assembly which
would allow them to support a sympathetic president (e$ectively
creating a oneparty state) or hand-cu$ an opposition President,
blocking his ability to govern and causing chaos in the country.
