Martial law is traditional South Korea governance.

The line dividing North and South Korea was created by US as it took it over from Japan after ww2, with puppet corrupt government installed.

The Korean war was instigated by US after national elections had North Korean as victor who threatened to unify and kick US out. Corrupt autocracy prevailed until 1980, and then the “democracy” that has followed since is/was an oligarchy of historically pro-Japanese family dynasty industrial champions.

Yet another sham the US calls a “democratic ally” for hegemonic legtimacy.

It's a function of sanctions. Reason North won the original elections was they were doing better economically, and less corrupt. Sieged economies do poorly, and it makes rest of the world look good.

Wow, trying to sell North Korea is almost admirable if it wasn't just an agenda.

Sure, living in a dictatorial hellscape labour camp must be so nice.
