How the fall of Yoon fuelled the rise of S Korea’s conservatives

Following the Constitutional Court’s confirmation of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment, thousands rallied in support, expressing feelings of injustice. Yoon’s controversial martial law declaration and subsequent legal troubles have intensified divisions within South Korea, energizing a fringe movement among his supporters, often influenced by right-wing YouTubers. This new wave of activism has led to violent confrontations, including courthouse stormings and a rise in extremist rhetoric, highlighting a significant shift in the conservative landscape.
