Why Fans Believe Yoon's Win Was Stolen
The Citizen|January 08, 2025
As impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has hidden inside his home fending off efforts to arrest him over a failed martial law bid, his supporters have camped outside waving placards bearing a famous Trump-esque slogan.

Yoon's defenders have waved American flags and carried signs that read "Stop the Steal," echoing Donald Trump's false claims of voter fraud when he lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden.

South Korea's conservative Christian right wing, an influential support base for Yoon, has co-opted the line to echo his comments that questioned the credibility of the election commission after he briefly imposed martial law last month.

Yoon's conservative People's Power Party lost parliamentary polls in April last year and in 2020.

Clock's not ticking for TikTok

If the United States was so paranoid that China would be able to access so-called personal information from Americans through the social media platform, TikTok, why couldn't this suspected intelligence be used to solve cybercrimes and stop other potential threats, or was it just a matter of control and censoring?
