Korean Leftist Group Uses Faces of President and First Lady for Target Practice During Protest
|This is definitely a sign of how bad the political discourse in South Korea has become:
Controversy is growing over an event arranged by a left-wing civic group, which allowed participants to shoot toy arrows at photos of President Yoon Suk Yeol, first lady Kim Keon Hee and Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon.

Critics said the event encouraged excessive hatred that is already prevalent in Korean society, noting that it should be taken seriously as even children were welcomed to participate.
The event was part of a rally held Saturday in central Seoul by a civic group calling for the resignation of the Yoon government and for a special counsel probe into stock manipulation allegations involving the first lady. Han, who was a senior prosecutor, is a close aide of Yoon.
“The prosecutor-turned-president has abused the prosecution’s power all over the country, threatening the country’s democracy,” said Rep. Lee Su-jin of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea, who participated in the rally.

Socialists, whether Fascist or Communist, have never had a problem using violence against their opponents.
The fact that these “people” are being so bold shows how desperate they are, how fearful of the positive changes Yoon might make for South Korea.
I am not saying Yoon will do anything good. I am saying the left fears his potential.
