But this is, you know, this is like he tried to do a coup. Right. So it's sort of unclear if he's going to get saved from that. It does seem very likely that he's going to face a bunch of charges for this because everyone is unbelievably pissed off. Here's from DW.
On Monday, former head of Special Warfare Command Kwok Jung-guen and former head of the Capitol Defense Command Lee Jin-woo were arrested on charges of deploying military personnel to the parliament. Former chief of the Defense Counterintelligence Command, Yeo In-hung, has been accused of orchestrating the implementation of martial law, and Army Chief Park An-soo has been suspended from his role.

Yoon's former defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun, who stepped down immediately following the aborted martial law declaration, and former interior minister Lee Song-min also faced investigations. So what we're seeing here effectively, right, is the housecleaning of the ranks of the Korean military who have been involved with this whole thing. Right. And they're going through a lot of different people.

Part of this is also clearing out some of like the cliques in the military who've been sort of backing Yoon and who people have suspected have been a bunch of people behind a lot of this stuff. And this is a good and necessary process. The entire time this has been going on, everyone has been terrified of the possibility of a second coup.

And the only way to avoid that in the short term is to remove the senior leadership of the military and get them away from their troops. They don't have the ability to sort of plan anything. And sometimes this can make people just go for it, right? Like that's what happens in Bolivia, it looks like.

Where the failed Bolivian coup was a product of, you know, people trying to do house cleaning and get rid of military guys before they did a coup. And so this makes them go off half cocked. And like, you know, that's that's a bad situation for I mean, it's a bad situation for everyone in the sense that there's a coup happening.

But it's a bad situation, especially for the military, because they don't have their coup preparations in place. So it's easier to knock them off.

has a precedent inside of the sort of Korean like liberal democratic societal norms that like you can't let this just unhinged military do all of this stuff.
