South Korea: A democracy shaken

from In-depth News Features | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News · host NHK WORLD-JAPAN

A year has passed since South Korea's then-president Yoon Suk-yeol rocked the country with a sudden martial law declaration, but the fallout continues. The nation has since voted in a new leader, yet it remains enveloped in confusion over leadership and governance.   While Yoon and many of his henchmen are in custody facing trial, some conservatives still speak highly of the former president. NHK World editor-in-chief and former Seoul bureau chief Aoki Yoshiyuki examines the current political climate.
