South Korea’s former defense minister has been arrested, leaving many to wonder if he was merely trying to fulfill his lifelong dream of running a martial law-themed escape room. Kim Yong-hyun, who previously boasted about his ability to “make things happen,” has now found himself on the wrong side of the law, albeit a far less exciting side than he had planned. Just a day prior, President Yoon Suk Yeol narrowly escaped impeachment after his grand scheme to impose martial law met with widespread public resistance — and a strategic boycott by his own party. Many suspect his plan was an attempt to win the title of "Most Dramatic Presidential Performance," while protesters outside parliament bundled up in layers of clothing and placards, valiantly chanting "We deserve better... and warmer jackets!" Kim, who had already tendered his resignation after his department's winter clearance sale on democracy, reportedly blamed his arrest on "miscommunication." Apparently, the former minister thought “martial law” was just a misunderstood term for “extremely enthusiastic martial arts seminar.” Insiders say he may have confused government authority with “kickboxing supremacy,” leading to a series of unfortunate karate metaphors during high-level meetings. While Yoon’s administration promises to calm the political storm, citizens pack the streets in droves to voice their discontent. "This weather is enough of a martial law," one protestor said, shaking his head in dismay while clutching a cup of lukewarm coffee. "Can’t we just have a good, old-fashioned democratic debate without someone trying to pull a muscle?" Meanwhile, Kim Yong-hyun’s arrest has turned into a national spectacle, as rumors swirl that he may be auditioning for a reality TV show titled "Defensive Strategies: When Not to Turn Your Country into a Martial Arts Film." Networks are already planning to feature episodes about forbidden furniture-flipping during cabinet meetings and dramatic slow-motion escapes from political responsibilities. As South Korea braces itself for another chilly week of protests, citizens are left pondering if it’s better to fight against the cold or to just let the warmth of democracy thaw out the winter chill. One thing is certain: amidst the chaos, the only thing everyone can agree on is that socks and layered clothing are a must-have accessory in these politically turbulent times.
