President Yoon Suk Yeol just announced that he’s declaring martial law in Korea, following months of rumors that he’d pull the move — and repeated denials. The AP says he’s “accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities.”

Huge South Korean chaebols like Samsung and LG are deeply wrapped up in the workings of the government — it’s going to be an unsettling period of geopolitical weirdness as giant tech companies try to moderate governments around the world.
