So President Yoon argues he had to do it because they’ve impeached 22 government workers to take, and plan to impeach 10 more?
I know he said it was unprecedented globally to impeach so many, but were they legitimate?
I can't find a list of the workers they impeached but it looks like he was stacking the government with New Right folks who wanted to take Korea back to 1940 when it was a part of the Japanese Empire. Seems like a wild take. The impeachments came after a major change in the parliamentary makeup shifted power away from him drastically.
