🇰🇷 South Korea's constitutional court has finalized the dramatic downfall of police chief Cho Ji-ho, ruling Thursday that his actions during ex-President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversial 2024 martial law attempt warranted removal from office. The decision ends a year-long political saga that began when Cho blocked lawmakers from parliament and deployed officers to election authorities during last December's emergency measures.
🔥 The court's verdict confirms what many young protesters chanted during 2024's #DemocracyCrisis rallies: 'Accountability matters.' With Cho's immediate dismissal, attention now turns to how this landmark case will reshape police-political relations in the Republic of Korea.
📜 Legal experts tell NewspaperAmigo this ruling sets a crucial precedent: 'Security forces can't be weaponized against democratic processes,' says Seoul National University professor Kim Min-ji. Meanwhile, TikTok activists are reviving #2024Crisis memes as the nation reflects on this turbulent chapter.
