    The first paragraph contains a massive factual error that changes the context of the rest of the “hot take” this person has.

    Yoon wasn’t overruled by parliament. Parliament passed a resolution (read strongly worded letter) demanding he rescind the martial law declaration, which Yoon then did.

      Lmao that’s not an error, much less one that means anything.

      South Korean lawmakers – who had scrambled earlier in the night to block the martial law order with a parliamentary vote

      Lawmakers worked swiftly to block the martial law decree

      The leader of the opposition Democratic Party, Lee Jae-myung, said the emergency martial law declaration was “unconstitutional"

      “Overruled” is a fair characterization. You just don’t like the article.
