All-Out Dialogue with *Tae-Ung Baik, Myungji Yang*, and *Cheehyung Harrison
Kim*

The challenging political situation in South Korea is a moment for critical
reflection about the fluctuations of democracy, which compels us to
question its form. The Martial Law incident of December 3, 2024, has left a
wake of sociopolitical distresses, whether for good or ill, including the
impeachment and prosecution of President Yoon Suk Yeol, the fracturing of
political parties, the public's distrust of elite politicians, and protests
from the left to the right that are on-going. This dialogue is to ponder
the legal, social, and political ramifications of December Third, as well
as the meaning of democracy in South Korea and around the world.

TAE-UNG BAIK. Professor of Law at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and
author of *Emerging Regional Human Rights Systems in Asia*
MYUNGJI YANG. Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Hawai‘i
at Mānoa and author of *From Miracle to Mirage: The Making and Unmaking of

right-wing movement
C. HARRISON KIM. Associate Professor of History at the University of
Hawai‘i at Mānoa and author of *Heroes and Toilers: Work as Life in Postwar
