DPK's politically charged impeachment of PM Han Duck-soo just 13 days after Han's assumption of role as Acting President last Dec has been voted down, 7-1. 5 justices ruled dismissal while 2 outright rejected the case. 1 ruled for Han's removal. tinyurl.com/hfvh7zcw

Lee Jae Myung claims Yoon intended to massacre 10K fellow citizens in his martial law plan A charge of this gravity, if true, would've been made already Either he's losing it bc Yoon will be acquitted or he's agitating for violence post-dismissal verdict. tinyurl.com/yck3bymt

I told BBC News (World) surge of support for Yoon & his party past 3 mo will be a factor in the next election. If Lee Jae-Myung, who's called US-ROK-JPN trilateral military exercises a "defense disaster," wins, there'll be changes in SK's policy v NK, PRC, RF, US & JPN [for the worse].

Thanks to @RSAsianAffairsfor publishing my essay, "South Korea's Martial Law Peripeteia." In politics it pays to eschew excessive hubris. And who succeeds Yoon Suk Yeol and whatever South Korea's future course may be are a story still to be written. tinyurl.com/yc37nj39

Hearty congratulations to my old friend & classmate in grad school, Dr. Jocelyn Clark (조세린), a professor at Paichai Univ., for selection as an Intangible Cultural Heritage holder--a first for a non-Korean--for the gayageum, the Korean zither. tinyurl.com/2w2nryh4

Congratulations on your Ph.D. dissertation defense. You were, as ever, eloquent and thorough. Your research and findings will guide generations of policymakers and scholars. It’s been a privilege.

Moon admin in 2018 faked NK guard posts as "disabled" It systematically falsified key gov't stats on housing, income & employment through most of its five-year term: tinyurl.com/mr3af2dc Today, Moon was indicted for bribery (all 3 = separate issues). tinyurl.com/29zscnaj

On this 7th anniversary of the 1st summit b/t Moon Jae-In & Kim Jong Un, may I repost my critical TheHillOpinion that day. Hailed at the time as a watershed, it was indeed that--for Kim only, deflating NK sanctions & aiding Kim's nuking-up & tyranny. shorturl.at/6Vcoa

NK confirms it's sent troops to help Russia's war v Ukraine Kim Jong Un: dispatch meant to “annihilate and wipe out the Ukrainian neo-Nazi occupiers and liberate the Kursk area in cooperation with [Russian forces].” Ever get the feeling Kim lies a lot? shorturl.at/0t9yg

Thank you CNA for the opportunity to remark on Kim Jong Un's legacy after 13 years in power. Grim and unnerving. HRNK youtube.com/watch?v=QbA-Rf…

Thank you for the opportunity.

The boy here is not Jong Un, but Kim Jong Il' eldest son, Jong Nam (born 1971). In Feb 2017 Kim Jong Un had his older half-brother killed with a chemical weapon in Kuala Lumpur Int'l Airport. The Kim dynasty is rife with fratricide, nepoticide & avunculicide. Regicide next?

I look forward to our discussion. Thank you for the opportunity to share my views.

Good Al Jazeera English breakdown of S Korea's June 3 election. Lee Jae-Myung has called the US-ROK-Japan trilateral defensive drills "a defense disaster." Folks in DC, Tokyo or Kyiv, I said, "are not overly jubilant at the prospect of a Lee administration." tinyurl.com/32y8p7xz

Kim Jong Un must be elated, And Putin exhilarated, Xi Jinping quite satiated; While Ishiba's deflated, Zelensky rather frustrated, Whereas Trump's uninterested.

Absolutely fabulous Korean singer, Ms. Kim Yeji. Totally gripping & unique in that she can do ballads, R&B, heavy metal, sustained high notes & probably anything else. Most versatile, beautiful tone & unique variations. Her band is just superb, too. tinyurl.com/yc72sb3a
