Gallup Korea poll finds 11 percent of Koreans think President Yoon is doing a good job.

What's surprising for me is that last week, the figure was only 1 percent below what it was a month before, despite the poll mostly being taken after martial law was declared

Comparison of the (rough) protest areas from yesterday. The Pro-impeachment protest covered about 100,000 square meters, which is about 10x the size of the anti-impeachment protest in Gwanghwamun.

S. Korea's Foreign Minister on Japan's promises to acknowledge past abuses after reneging on 2015 pledge:

August: 2024 deal not only addresses Japan's history of "bad checks" but also secures cash

November: South Korea has once again received a "bounced check"

Then you get people talking about young men not dating, stories on 4B. Lots of exaggerations of what is basically a fringe movement.
There's a big gender divide in Korea, and the discourse on feminism is toxic.
But young Koreans are dating. Surfyy Beach was a bigger phenomenon than 4B.
