So, funny story, this is the sixth South Korean President to come under indictment.

Recent and Notable Imprisonments:

• Yoon Suk Yeol (Served 2022–2025): Sentenced to life in prison in February 2026 for leading an insurrection after briefly imposing martial law in December 2024.
• Park Geun-hye (Served 2013–2017): Impeached, removed from office, and sentenced to 25 years for corruption and abuse of power.
• Lee Myung-bak (Served 2008–2013): Sentenced to 15 years for embezzlement and bribery.
• Chun Doo-hwan (Served 1980–1988): Convicted of mutiny, treason, and corruption in 1996.
• Roh Tae-woo (Served 1988–1993): Convicted of treason, mutiny, and corruption, serving over two years.
• Roh Moo-hyun (Served 2003–2008): Committed suicide while under investigation for corruption.

Almost every living former leader since the 1980s has been jailed, marking a pattern of post-presidential legal proceedings

Cool that these officials do get prosecuted. But maybe we should consider how they get elected to begin with.

America when their President is a PDF file:

"There's nothing we can do, he's the President."

He basically did the same thing Trump did, but HIS country put him in prison for life, b cause that's the punishment he EARNED, and deserves. See, Democrats, THAT'S how it's done.

You can get ARRESTED for trying to Overthrow your Country? I thought you get REELECTED when that Happens so your Opposition DOESNT Look Political?

Accountability in the USA has been so poor that it's forcing other countries to follow through just to prove they're better (they are better, to be clear)

As much as I believe Trump should face literally any punishment over January 6th riots, the Korean ex-president ordered a martial law shutdown and involved the military. This is more akin to what Trump is going to do in 2026 and/or 2028 when he suspends elections over martial law.

Inciting a mob is still illegal, but it's a bit harder to prove beyond a reasonable doubt than ordering your military to stop Congress from acting. Of course, I'm not counting on Congress to even hold him accountable for abusing martial law (he's committed crimes magnitudes worse than Jan 6th since then without any repercussions), just that we haven't seen the martial law version yet.

I mean, that's one way you could go. OR one side could pretend it's not a coup and threaten every republican that doesn't go along with it.

Now do the US.

Hey America take notes…

@RonaldRump, you seeing this shit? This is awful. I can’t believe they’d do this to a leader of their government who tried taking over with the military. Despicable. Anyways, you should watch out.

In America, politicians cannot be punished for anything political.

Oh no, consequences.

Criminals getting Ls today. Love it.
