Ex-President YOON Might Be the Biggest KAREN in the World

In a unanimous vote, South Korea’s Constitutional Court immediately removed President Yoon Suk Yeol from office. After suddenly declaring martial law last December to fight back against his political enemies on the left, Yoon faced impeachment charges over betraying the very foundation of South Korea’s democracy.

Following 111 days of deliberation, the court agreed with the National Assembly’s five grounds for impeaching the president. The biggest of which was the illegal martial law declaration.

Observers are still reeling over Yoon’s overreaction of calling not just the police, but Korea’s military and counterintelligence to win a political fight against liberal lawmakers. Does this make him the biggest Karen in the world?
