South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in an unannounced late-night TV address Tuesday, accusing the country’s main opposition party of sympathizing with North Korea and anti-state activities. But soon after, South Korean lawmakers voted to block the martial law decree.

The president is obligated to comply with the vote under South Korean law. However, it is unclear whether that will happen. The martial law decree published shortly before lawmakers assembled in parliament declared all political and parliamentary activities to be prohibited.

Regardless, the president’s cabinet must “deliberate” and review the decision to lift martial law, according to the constitution. more at CNN

I don't exactly know what "uri [우리] " translates to but it's something along the lines of "us" and so you know how (in kds) they use it as such a precious word as in how "us" makes some people blush is so intimate like it's that *'Raazi' pic where the couple were just listening to music while looking at each other* energy and it makes the word feel like such a fragile thing such a big deal and how if used as a slip of tongue results in a double take by the other person.

It's like the conjunction blurs it's not a you and me anymore it's us

Nongae

Nongae (Korean: 주논개; Hanja: 朱論介; 1574–1593) was a gisaeng of Jinju during the Joseon period of Korea. A popular legend tells the story of her sacrificial assassination of the Japanese general Keyamura Rokusuke.

In 1593, Japanese forces invaded the Korean peninsula during which province official Choi Gyeong-hwi [who had taken Nongae as his mistress when she was 17 after ruling in her mother's favor 5 years earlier when she kidnapped and ran away with her daughter after learning that her uncle was going to sell her off to someone for 50 sacks of rice] was assassinated in June. Afterwards, the Japanese eventually succeeded in their invasion of Suyeong Fortress (now near Jinju). To celebrate the victory, soldiers forced all the gisaeng to serve them at the Choseokru Pavilion (nugak) on a cliff that overlooked the Nam River in Jinju. Nongae was called to entertain the victorious Japanese generals alongside the other gisaeng. Nongae walked to a steep rock sticking out of the Nam river under the Choseokru, which prevented the Japanese soldiers from joining her due to a fear of falling into the river. Nongae challenged the Japanese general, Keyamura Rokusuke, to join her. The general attempted to lure Nongae away from the rock. However, she eventually led him to the cliff-side, where she embraced him, clasped her fingers with rings that locked her around him, and cast herself along with the general into the river, killing them both.
