Everything is way, way weirder than that. Now, Yoon's party, the People's Power Party, which is henceforth going to be called the PPP because I am not going to say the words People Power Party over and over again. Good Lord.

The PPP got a lot of credit from people outside of South Korea for like, you know, some of their members legitimately did show up to parliament to vote against the martial law declaration. And at the time in the last episode, I said, that's bullshit. You don't get credit for voting against martial law. And also, like most of them weren't there. And I kind of got shit for this.

And I have been absolutely 100 percent vindicated because the impeachment vote, the first one rolls around. The first one happens very quickly after the first coup. Right. Well, the first coup, hopefully the only coup, hopefully is not a second coup, but this happens very quickly. And OK, so the vote rolls around and the entire PPP, the entire party, except maybe like two people.

If you don't have a quorum, is it like there's there's like a minimum number of members that has to be in attendance for for whatever you're doing to be legal to stop like two people from showing up in the middle of the night and being like, ha ha, I am in the parliament. We've just passed this like order that makes me dictator or whatever.

And B, he just literally tried to do a coup, and they're still backing him. And C, we stumble into a very, very thorny question that I saw from people in Korea, like, the moment after all this stuff happens, but didn't really hit the Western press until later, if at all, and didn't really hit, like... the mainstream consciousness? And this question will become apparent in a second.
