South Korea's political landscape is shaking as public frustration reaches a boiling point. With the impeachment of a second leader in just two weeks, acting President Choi Sang-mok (also the Finance Minister) has pledged to prioritize national security and stability. 🔥 'We must navigate these turbulent times with unity,' he declared during a televised address.
But citizens aren't convinced. Demonstrations have erupted nationwide, with many criticizing the ruling party's handling of economic inequality and diplomatic tensions. 📢 'Trust is crumbling,' says Wang Son Taek, a political analyst at Sogang University. 'The government needs radical transparency to regain public support.'
With elections looming, pressure mounts on leaders to address soaring inflation and youth unemployment—a generation demanding change. 💼 Will Seoul's strategy shift fast enough? The world is watching. 👀
