SK is such a crazy arc. Somewhat recently got over famine and authoritarianism, then five families took over the whole country, while growing the economy to crazy levels per capita, in the fastest time ever.

They took over global pop music, while also entering demographic collapse faster than anyone.

In 2024 they had their own Jan 6th type event, but democracy appears to have won? Yet last month, they sent 30% of Russia's diesel imports via their ports, while very loudly complaining about the public announcement of two captured NK soldiers in Ukraine.

I am very ignorant, and I genuinely have no idea what is happening in SK. But last month, they were helping fund the NK + Russian war machine? What a trip.
