- That's 100% Korean though. They could be in the streets throwing molotovs and that's what they'd tell a foreigner.
- Nice, recruit that nerd to NCD

- Yup. My SO has friends in S. Korea, and they were more annoyed at the emergency broadcast than anything, but kept on gaming. Ain't nobody got time to care about a coup attempt...
From now on when I try to do something stupid and fail spectacularly, I'll think "At least I'm not President Yoon."
- "At least I'm not a Yoon." -fixed it, sorry. Can't stop myself, I love neologisms.
  
  Too bad that situations where someone fails miserably but that's a good thing because what he was trying to do is terrible don't come up often enough for this phrase to catch on.
was there a coup attempt?
- see, first person in korean timezone woke up. now they're gonna think it was all gigantic prank everyone around them is playing into
  
  nah I'm American, I just hadn't heard of it yet
  
  I was messaging a friend living north of Seoul with questions about it when I realized, it's 12:00 a.m. there and he is farging sleeping. This must be close to a nothingburger.
- Yeah but more like chicken coup
Nobody:

Still nobody:
- Somebody: ...
  
  Everybody: ?
There are decades when nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen.
I legit want to hear what is was like waking up after sleeping through a decade's worth of history happening.
don't forget the thousands of brave protesters. if it wasn't for them, those MPs would probably have been blocked effectively
Wait, there’s bad guys?
According to my SO, martial law was a success! Nearly everyone stayed indoors, either sleeping or gaming, and didn't leave until martial law was rescinded in the morning. Yoon got to push the martial law button, and nobody ended up getting killed.

So success all around! Let's celebrate over another round of LOL.
