The dude tried to arrest key legislators, including from his own party. This was the world's worst palace coup.

Yup. Absolutely.

The context in which he did those actions is critical though.

That budget cut was 0.7%. I have no sympathy. I will not be surprised when it comes out that this guy is in a cult and his cult leader got their shit cut and this unhinged response was the result.

For better context, here's what was going on with the budget., including the opposition party stopping aid to Ukraine and fighting investments that would make South Korea less reliant on Chinese semiconductors.

At 0.7 percentage points off a 3.2 point increase it's absolutely not what Yoon is characterizing it as and Bloomberg is giving Yoon and his ministers space rent free in that article.
