In a blatant effort to silence his adversaries and force South Koreans to capitulate, Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law to wield the military as instruments of fear.
The primary motivation behind Yoon's authoritarian actions appears rooted in a desire to escape the legal and parliamentary pressures he faces, steering South Korea backwards.
Contrary to popular belief, authoritarianism isn’t antiquated; it remains appealing as leaders like Yoon rely on simple, compelling rhetoric to distract from complex issues.
Yoon's declaration of martial law reveals the allure of the strongman myth — a leader who promises quick and simple solutions to deep-rooted societal problems.
