Protesters in Seoul Use 'Stop the Steal' Slogans to Rally Behind Suspended President

In the heart of Seoul, South Korea, a unique political scene unfolds. Supporters of suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol huddle together, holding signs that declare "Stop the Steal, " waving US flags, and donning red hats reminiscent of the MAGA movement. This spectacle is a world away from Washington DC, but the echoes of American politics are clear. Yoon, a conservative firebrand, faces impeachment after a dramatic declaration of martial law. Lawmakers voted to remove him, and investigators want to arrest him on charges of insurrection and abuse of power. Yoon's supporters see parallels with the US, where former President Trump faced similar accusations. They believe the election was stolen from them, a sentiment reflected in their use of the "Stop the Steal" slogan. Yoon's rhetoric, including references to an "enemy from within, " mirrors Trump's language. However, investigators and experts deny any evidence of election fraud. The US alliance remains strong, with South Korean conservatives viewing the US as a bastion of freedom and democracy. Yoon's supporters, including evangelical leaders, believe he is protecting South Korea from communist threats. The political drama continues, with Yoon's fate to be decided by the constitutional court.
