      Honestly, no idea. I am not a big Korea watcher, but I do know that weird fashy politics like this tends to blow up if they don't actually do anything to maintain their base, and he basically won by a razor thin margin based on the incel vote and has done basically nothing but try to assume direct control of the police and fucked with the education system. Dude has an approval rating below 20% and his party is apparently melting down so, probably bad news.

        The incel vote?

        Jesus they're big enough in Korea to influence elections? Man, Korean masculinity is just a disaster zone if they can't get laid. Koreans have always been badasses, historically.

          I think his campaign relied pretty heavily on him being an anti-feminist and being "pro-millitary" (since only men in RoK have to do millitary service, that country has had a very strange system of gender roles).

            Why don't women have to serve too? That's fucked up. Imagine being forced to kill people just because of your gender. I'd change my gender identification in a heartbeat.

        Well, I guess I might have to keep an eye of South Korea
