You mean a tiny group of elites throwing out a democratically elected head of state didn’t bring unity or resolution to the country? I’m shocked.

Every time I hear about a political or cultural debate in South Korea that doesn’t center around the birthrate, I shake my head sadly. Forget political parties and agendas and ideological distinctions. If women don’t start having babies none of this is going to matter. Progressive, conservative, authoritarian… all of those labels are secondary to a country’s true necessities: protect itself from enemies, secure its borders, reproduce its population. All else is decadence and luxury. These are passengers on the Titanic arguing about the music selection.
