Plot:

Troubled by the growing worldwide trend of pop singers being elected as politicians, the President of South Korea orders his Chief Secretary to invoke "Emergency Act 19". This new law criminalizes all pop singers, and the army is deployed on the streets of Seoul to round them up. One pop star, Hong Kyung-min, is arrested while performing a concert, but his angry fans mob the soldiers as they try to take him away. The Chief Secretary's teenage daughter, Min-ji, is amongst the fans, and leading her idol to safety gives him her phone number. Kyung-min finally makes a getaway with his friend and fellow pop star, Kim Jang-hoon.

Once Jang-hoon and Kyung-min become fully aware of the situation, they contact Min-ji, who is able to hide the two singers in a secret location. The Chief Secretary finds out that his daughter is working against him, and when she refuses to give them up, he has false news reports created, accusing the singers of sexually assaulting minors. Meanwhile, more pop stars are rounded up by the authorities who are now aided by another singer, Ju Yeong-hun, who decides to betray his friends in order to save himself.

Angered by their tarnished reputations, Jang-hoon and Kyung-min acquire a gun from a shady weapons dealer, and with Min-ji's help they are able to take the Chief Secretary and his staff hostage. They take their captives to the park, where Min-ji has organized a mass demonstration with her friends and other music fans. The army arrive on the scene and engage the demonstrators in conflict, finally capturing Jang-hoon and Kyung-min. The Chief Secretary is able to walk free in all the chaos, but he is appalled by the violence and orders the fighting to stop, convincing the President to repeal the emergency act and restoring peace.

I couldn't find this movie with subs anywhere. I usually watch kdramas but found it on YouTube in 2 parts without eng subs.

If anyone knows where I could watch this movie fully with eng subs would be very helpful.

(Part 1 above and Part 2 below)

This movie is based on events that happened in South Korea during the 1970s and 1980s with censorship during the Park Chung Hee Presidency (1961-1979) and Chun Doo Hwan Presidency (1980-1988).

This blog explains a bit about how Seotaji combatted censorship after the 1980s.

More about the censorship during the 1980s in South Korea.

This blog is about the evolution of Korean music in the 70s to the 80s with censorship

Should probably go into more detail about this topic, but it gets very long and can be very confusing, and I would rather explain this in my Korean music history on male and female groups.

March 7 (UPI) -- South Korea's embattled president, Yoon Suk Yeol, was expected to be freed from a Seoul detention center after a court Friday voided the warrant under which he was arrested in January on insurrection charges after an abortive effort to impose martial law.

The Seoul Central District Court said the decision was to "ensure procedural clarity and eliminate doubts regarding the legality of the investigation process," after ruling the warrant to extend Yoon's detention beyond the maximum 48-hour period had been filed too late.

CNN reported that Yoon, 64, would be released later Friday after the facility where he was being held received the paperwork from the court, but NBC quoted his legal team as saying he would remain in custody for now as prosecutors had seven days to appeal the ruling.

The prosecutor's office has yet to comment.

"This is justice served. Though delayed, it was a decision that had to be made," Shin Dong-wook, spokesman for Yoon's conservative People Power Party said in a statement.

Yoon, the first sitting president of the republic to be indicted on criminal charges, was arrested Jan. 15 at the second attempt after a standoff with his security detail and hundreds of protestors forced authorities to abandon an earlier attempt to take him into custody.

Yoon is alleged to have hatched a conspiracy with former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and others to incite an insurrection on Dec. 3 through the declaration of an unconstitutional and unlawful state of emergency.

Declaring a state of emergency is legal only in the case of imminent war, armed conflict, or a comparable national crisis.

Korean presidents enjoy immunity from prosecution for most criminal charges -- with insurrection being one of the few exceptions.

Welcoming the ruling, Yoon's lawyers said it set the record straight on what rules and principles were applicable in criminal cases and demonstrated that the rule of law was alive and well in South Korea.

They had argued in court that the body that requested the warrant, the Corruption Investigation Office for High Ranking Officials, also had no jurisdiction over the crime of insurrection.

But the court was unable to make a determination on jurisdiction due to the lack of any existing laws covering the issue, or legal precedent from the Supreme Court.

Yoon's office praised the stance taken by the court, accusing the CIO of an "unlawful, performative investigation despite lacking jurisdiction."

The National Assembly voted to impeach Yoon in December, 10 days after he deployed the South Korean military into Yeouido in an effort to disrupt a vote by lawmakers to overturn his declaration of martial law.

The assembly succeeded in voting on the motion, voting unanimously to lift martial law --with Yoon withdrawing his martial law declaration six hours later in the early hours of Dec. 4.

Yoon apologized to the Korean people in a closing statement last week to the Constitutional Court, which is amid a 180-day deliberation at the end of which it must decide whether to remove or rei-instate Yoon, but said that invoking martial law was a last-was a last-ditch gamble to save the country from the "anti-state tyranny" of the opposition Democratic Party.

He said that he only intended it as a demonstration of the depth of national crisis in the country.

Yoon Suk Yeol impeachment: Final phase begins

The 11th hearing of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment trial is set for 25th February. Both the National Assembly and President Yoon’s defence team are preparing their final arguments. They will address the charges of insurrection and abuse of power.

On 22nd February, the National Assembly’s legal team met to plan for the hearing. Their main focus will be on President Yoon’s martial law declaration on 3rd December. They argue it was illegal and unconstitutional. They will also discuss the orders he allegedly gave during this period.

Yoon defence: A response to allegations

President Yoon’s defence team argues that the martial law declaration was within his rights. They claim it was issued as a “warning” to the opposition. They also argue that the opposition’s impeachment attempts and budget manipulation pushed the country to a national emergency. Therefore, the defence will argue that his actions were necessary to protect the country.

The main issue in the trial is whether President Yoon’s actions on 3rd December were legitimate. Another key point is whether he ordered the arrest of lawmakers and political opponents. The National Assembly claims he did, while President Yoon denies it.

Testimonies regarding the arrest orders

On 20th February, the Constitutional Court heard testimony about the alleged arrest orders. Mr Hong Jang-won, the former first deputy director of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), claimed he received these orders and documented them. He returned to court to clarify his earlier testimony, especially about the timing and details of his notes.

President Yoon’s lawyers challenged Mr Hong’s testimony. They questioned why he hadn’t submitted the original memo to prosecutors. They also suggested that Mr Hong tried to give the document to the opposition Democratic Party of Korea. Additionally, lawyer Yun Gap-geun asked whether the aide who helped write the memo had personal ties to Han Dong-hoon. Mr Hong responded that he did not know the aide’s connections.

The alleged order to break into Parliament

Former Capital Defence Commander Lee Jin-woo testified that President Yoon told him to “break down the door to Parliament” and “drag the lawmakers out.” However, Mr Lee later testified that he could not remember making this statement. As a result, the credibility of his testimony is questioned.

President Yoon denies issuing such orders. He has stated that “nothing happened” and compared the trial to “chasing the shadow of the moon floating on a lake.”

Yoon military mobilisation and the martial law decree

During the martial law period, approximately 1,500 South Korean troops surrounded the National Assembly. President Yoon claims that their deployment was to maintain order, not to block Parliament. He insists that the military was not used to restrict the legislative body.

The martial law decree prohibited political activities, including those of the National Assembly. However, the decree did not give the President authority to limit Parliament’s functions. This will be a key point in the trial.

President Yoon argues that the martial law was meant to last no more than half a day. He claims the decree was a formality and that Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun mistakenly added a problematic clause about Parliament. Yoon denies any intent to use deadly force.

Live ammunition was provided to the mobilised troops, but it was not distributed to individual soldiers. The martial law was lifted about six hours after its declaration. The National Assembly requested the removal of martial law at 1am on 3rd December. President Yoon agreed to lift it at 4:20am, over three hours later.

The final hearing and what comes next

The 11th hearing will begin at 2pm on 25th February. Acting Chief Judge Moon Hyung-bae has confirmed that there will be no time limits for final arguments. Afterward, the eight justices will deliberate on whether to uphold President Yoon’s impeachment.

The court is expected to reach a decision within two weeks. In past cases, the Constitutional Court took 14 and 11 days to reach a final decision after the last hearing.

Public reaction and potential outcomes

Supporters of President Yoon and the ruling party have criticised Chief Justice Moon. Protesters have held demonstrations outside his home, and some lawmakers accuse him of bias in favour of the opposition.

If the court upholds the impeachment, South Korea will hold a presidential election within 60 days. If the court rejects the impeachment, President Yoon will continue in office until his term ends on 9th May 2027.

[darkmaga-returns]

More than a week after Yoon’s attempted coup, the South Korean president is digging in his heels and refusing to quit. Yoon is now under investigation for insurrection, and he is under a travel ban so that he cannot leave the country. The disgraced president delivered another speech in which he repeated many of the same deranged claims he made when he declared martial law. He has vowed to “fight to the end.” Yoon’s party shielded him from impeachment last week, but that support has crumbled as more details about the coup have come to light and Yoon refuses to resign:

South Korea’s ruling party has thrown its support behind attempts to impeach embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol over his ill-fated decision to declare martial law that sparked a political crisis and widespread public anger in the country.

It seems likely that the second impeachment attempt will be successful. Yoon cannot continue as president after what he did, and he should be out of office soon. Fortunately, his attempt to smash the opposition with martial law failed and destroyed what remained of his presidency in the process. It’s clear that electing Yoon was a terrible mistake, but with any luck South Korea will not have to live with that mistake for much longer.

The fallout from the attempted coup has been swift. Following his arrest, the former defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun, attempted suicide in jail, but he was stopped from ending his life. There are reports that the former defense minister was attempting to provoke a crisis with North Korea earlier this year to create a pretext for a martial law declaration:

South Korea’s former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun ordered a drone deployment to North Korea to lay the ground for martial law declaration, it has been alleged. Park Beom-kye, a lawmaker from the main opposition Democratic Party, said on Monday that Mr Kim ordered the deployment of drones to the North Korean capital Pyongyang in October, hoping to instigate a retaliatory attack from the North and use it to justify last week’s martial law declaration.

If true, Yoon and Kim’s plans for a power grab were even more dangerous than we realized last week. It is fortunate that North Korea didn’t take the bait. If they were willing to go that far to create an excuse for a coup it shows that Yoon and his allies threaten both South Korean democracy and stability on the Korean Peninsula. Hardliners often pose more of a threat to the security of their country than anyone else.

[ad_1] The head of South Korea’s ruling party has called for suspending powers of President Yoon Suk Yeol, citing “credible evidence” that he sought the arrest of political leaders after the imposition of martial law, Al Jazeera reported. People Power Party (PPP) leader Han Dong-hoon, who had earlier expressed his opposition to efforts to impeach Yoon, stated “newly emerging facts” had tipped the scales against Yoon Suk Yeol. Han said, “I learned last night the president ordered the defence counter-intelligence commander to arrest major political leaders, characterising them as antistate forces, and mobilised intelligence institutions in the process,” according to Al Jazeera report. He further said, “I have said that to prevent this country from descending into further chaos, I would try to stop the impeachment bill from passing this time.” PPP leader called it necessary to stop Yoon Suk Yeol from exercising his powers as South Korea’s President. He said, “But based on what has been revealed, to protect South Korea and our people, I believe it is necessary to stop President Yoon from exercising his powers as president promptly.” Han said that South Korea’s President did not acknowledge that imposition of martial law was illegal and wrong and there was a “significant risk” that he could make similar move again if he continues to remain in office. Martial law was declared in South Korea for about six hours on Tuesday after Yoon made the announcement in a televised address to the nation in which he cited threats from “antistate forces” and North Korean sympathisers The members of National Assembly mobilised for reversal of Yoon’s order in a 190-0 vote. South Korea’s President lifted order at about 4 am. However, he announced the decision after troops had descended on the National Assembly and scuffled with legislators and protesters. Yoon, who is facing impeachment, is currently under probe for treason along with the South Korea’s resigned Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun, Army Chief of Staff General Park An-su and Interior Minister Lee Sang-min, Al Jazeera reported, citing local media reports. The statement of Han, who is South Korea’s Justice Minister and one of Yoon’s top rivals in the PPP, marks a shift in the ruling party’s response to the crisis. The opposition Democratic Party has called for a vote on Saturday night to impeach Yoon. However, it requires at least eight votes from the ruling party to reach two-thirds majority in the 300-member National Assembly. If the motion is successful, South Korea’s Constitutional Court will take a decision on whether to confirm Yoon’s removal from office, Al Jazeera reported. Until now, the ruling party had hinted it would oppose the impeachment of Yoon, with some analysts saying that lawmakers feared backlash for going against their own party, as it had happened after the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye in 2016. Later, Park was sentenced to 20 years in prison for corruption before she was pardoned. [ad_2] Source link

During the Park Chung-hee administration, he and Chun Doo-hwan formed Hanahoe, a private military organization. After President Park Chung-hee was assassinated in the 10.26 Incident and Prime Minister Choi Kyu-ha ascen데드 마운트 데스 플레이 다시 보기 1화 (애니)ded to the presidency, he led the 12.12 military rebellion following Chun Doo-hwan, and after Chun Doo-hwan took power, he turned to politics.

Right after the June Uprising, he announced the June 29 Declaration and accepted the constitutional amendment for direct presidential elections. On February 25, 1988, the 6th Republic of Korea was launched.

Upon inauguration as president, he accepted the theory of liquidating the 5th communist party, organized a large number of military personnel, reinstated a large number of opposition figures who were banned from political activities, expanded freedom of the press, and started to데드 마운트 데스 플레이 다시 보기 1화 (애니) integrate the middle. In line with the global atmosphere of détente, North Korea policy was implemented and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula was declared by signing the Inter-Korean Basic Agreement. He also established the basis for North Korea policy to be pursued by all governments of the 6th Republic, such as joining North Korea and the United Nations sim데드 마운트 데스 플레이 다시 보기 1화 (애니)ultaneously, and successfully hosted the 1988 Seoul Olympics. It is the first president not to use the expression, Mr. President, [19] and the first president to express himself as 'me' rather than 'me' when standing in front of the people, and is also the president who announces the end of the era of authoritarianism.

After resigning as president, he was arrested and indicted along with former President Chun Doo-hwan in 1995 on charges of leading the 12.12 military rebellion and 5.17 civil war. As a result, he became the first president arrested in constitutional history, but was pardoned by former President Kim Young-sam on December 22, 1997.

After undergoing surgery for prostate cancer in 2002, due to deteriorating health, he lived in seclusion, going back and forth between his home in Yeonhui-dong and the hospital. [21] In June 2007, he attended a banquet on the 20th anniversary of the June 29 Declaration, and was not seen at all in public or media.[22]

[23] As a result, the era of 1 No 3 Kim, who dominated the beginning of the 6th Republic of Korea, has completely disappeared into the dark side of history.[24] The slogan used in the presidential election, "The Great Age of Common People" is famous. Even though he was not a co데드 마운트 데스 플레이 다시 보기 1화 (애니)mplete dictator like Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo also had a strong military image, and he almost became like that. Even at the time of the presidential election, because of the enthusiasm for democratization, I was lagging behind Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung in many areas, so I was struggling. It's not an exaggeration, so it can be seen as a modifier of gratitude to Roh Tae-woo in a way. Of course, at Roh Tae-woo's election camp, he encountered the slogan "ordinary person" and responded, "No, what kind of president does an 'ordinary person' do? Isn't his image too weak?" He said he really liked it, saying, "It's a phrase that I can approach comfortably."

The slogan "ordinary people" is approached in a particularly friendly way, and the influence of "ordinary people", the most popular drama in the early 1980s, mentioned in item 5, cannot be overlooked. This drama, which aired from 1982 to 1984, was the longest-running daily drama in history, with 491 episodes aired. Hwang Jeong-soon, Lee Soon-jae, Kim Min-ja, Kang Seok-woo, Yu Ji-in, Lee Young-ha, Geum Bo-ra, Song Jae-ho, Han Hye-sook, Jeong Han-yong, Han Jin-hee, Cho Yong-won, and Tae Hyun-sil, etc., gained national popularity. enjoyed Roh Tae-woo's election strategists did not lose sight of the meaning of ordinary people in this drama, which warmly portrayed the economic development and the expansion of the middle class in the 1980s, and was a great success.

So, even after the presidential election, he wrote quite a lot at inauguration ceremonies and various speeches, and at the time of Roh Tae-woo's administration, Daehan News occasionally reported on ordinary people who did good deeds, using the modifier 'great ordinary people'. Hwang Jeong-soon, the heroine of the drama, participated in the 'Gathering of Ordinary People', an organization for Roh Tae-woo's election campaign. She was a symbol of Korea's economic growth leading to the drama Paldogangsan - Ordinary People and a symbol of wise mothers who persevered through hard times, so she played a role in softening the negative legacy of the military regime and highlighting the positive legacy. The people who lit the 1988 Seoul Olympic torch also paid much attention to the modifier, as many expected Sohn Kee-jung, but three ordinary people ignited it.[26] Because of that, comedians used this word quite a lot whenever they imitated Noh Tae-woo's voice, and he himself said, "It's okay to make me the subject of satire from now on." In terms of policy, it breaks the link with the 5th lesson and encourages meetings as in the paragraph above, and I myself have had frequent meetings with opposition figures such as Kim Young-sam and Kim Jong-pil, and have succeeded to some extent in breaking down the previous military regime and authoritarian image. The slogan remained as a symbol of Roh Tae-woo and the Roh Tae-woo government.[27]

As mentioned above, just as the president declared that he could use himself as a comedy material, his slogan, 'ordinary people', was parodied with the then satirical cartoonist Joo Wan-soo's 'ordinary gorilla'. It was mainly a book that satirized the distorted contradictions of society in the late 1980s in the form of a gorilla, and featured the following song lyrics in the middle.

South Korean police filed arrest impeding case against Yoon

South Korean police have formally filed a criminal case against suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of obstructing the execution of an arrest warrant, Korean media reported on Friday.

The Seoul Central District Court held the first hearing in the case of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is accused of organising riots over the imposition of martial law in December 2024. Yoon did not appear, while his lawyers insisted that the president’s actions do not fall under the “organising riots” article. The defence demanded that Yoon’s case be joined with that of the military officers who carried out his orders, including former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun.

The prosecutor’s office, in turn, opposed the merger of the cases and demanded a more intensive schedule of hearings – 2-3 times a week. As a result, the court postponed Yoon’s case to March 24.

In addition, the court considered Yoon’s release from custody. The defence and the defendant himself argue that the Bureau of Investigation of Crimes of High Officials had no right to investigate the case of “domestic disturbance” and therefore detain the president. The Public Prosecutor’s Office, to which Yoon’s case was transferred, found no wrongdoing.

On the same day, the Constitutional Court held its tenth session on the impeachment of Yoon. It was addressed by Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who said that at a cabinet meeting on December 3, before martial law was imposed, “everyone was concerned” about the president’s actions and he personally tried to dissuade Yoon. However, only a “missing formality” prevented the president’s decision from being blocked, according to Han.

The Constitutional Court plans to conclude the impeachment hearings on February 25 and issue a ruling in mid-March 2025.

Yoon, who has served as South Korea’s president since 2022, is accused of imposing martial law in the country on December 3, 2024. Although it lasted only six hours, the prosecution believes it crippled the country’s economy. Yoon himself claims he was forced to take this step because of the actions of pro-North Korean forces in the opposition, who he says were planning to establish a dictatorship in the country.

Yoon was arrested on January 15, 2025 (on the second attempt) and formally charged on January 26. This is the first time in South Korea’s history that a sitting president has been under arrest.

If Yoon is proven guilty, he could face up to 20 years in prison and, in the worst case, the death penalty.
